Season 2 comes over a year after the first season of the show ended in a huge controversy. A comment made by podcaster Ranveer Allahabadia caused a major stir, and subsequently, Samay deleted all the episodes of the show. Many FIRs were filed against the panelists of the show, and the panelists were subjected to a lot of social scrutiny as well. Samay later toured with his special ‘Still Alive’ all across the country, and eventually uploaded it on YouTube a few weeks ago.
