The actresses' energetic performance had everyone vibing, momentarily shifting the focus from the earlier controversy. Soon after, Bharti commented, Jab saari heroine aayi na, mujhe Ayesha ko dekh ke laga, Krushna phir se aa gaya, kyunki uski tarah lambi hai na (After seeing Ayesha, I thought Krushna returned because she is tall like Krushna). Ayesha looked uneasy and quickly moved towards Kapil Sharma, attempting to cover her stomach with her hand. Kapil then asked Bharti, “Was this a compliment or what? Parul Gulati also told Bharti, “You shouldn’t have said this,” to which Bharti responded, “Sorry, I am pregnant."
