Apparently a cold war has transpired between the channel and Anu regarding the injustice of payment shelled about to him and Sunidhi. Anu has, in fact, warned the channel to take a call immediately or else he can also quit the show.

A source reports, "Anu is being paid less than Sunidhi. While she gets a remuneration of almost 7.5 lakhs per episode, Anu gets 5 lakhs per episode. This vast difference had annoyed Anu so much that he is not co- operating with the producer now."
