In the latest episode, Amaal and Gaurav got into an tense exchange over nepotism and the insider–outsider divide. Gaurav pointed out that although hard work is universal, people with established industry links usually secure their first break much more easily than those coming from outside.Gaurav remarked, "Jahan tumhara struggle shuru hota hai, wahaan hamara aspiration hai." Amaal responded, "Ussi tarike se jaise ek common man khada hai Mehboob studio ke bahar, mera bhai aur mom khade rahe, koi difference nahi tha."

Gaurav highlighted that because of Amaal's family's legacy it was easy for him to meet Salman but on the other hand, for someone like him, it would take 20 years to meet Salman Khan. However, Amaal disagreed with Gaurav’s perspective, asserting that every artist has similar kind of struggle. Malti, who had been attentively listening to the conversation, stepped in and pointed out that while hard work may be common to all, each individual’s struggle is unique and cannot be compared.Gaurav clarified that he was referring to the initial “foot in the door” moment, explaining that it tends to be easier for those who already belong to the industry compared to complete outsiders.Malti even gave reference of her brother Deepak and Rahul Chahar. She shared because of knowledge and guidance from Deepak, Rahul's struggle was reduced to 60 percent.Amaal responded to Malti saying that his father had failed in life and was on zero level. He said, "Mere papa ko kabhi Anu Malik ka support mila he nahi, hum reverse nepotism ke product hain sir. Daboo Malik was a failure and I have no problem in admitting it.

My father failed."Social media users were disappointed with Amaal's remarks against his own father and they called him out.
