But, here is my take.
Yes, Anu is very rude to people, and he does not care about the front person's feelings, but have you noticed he tries to act out like Simon from AI (American Idol)?
I think he has been asked to be rude - check out the Articles section, and check out one particular by Udit in which he says something along the lines he has to be rude, but he can't b/c he maintains a good image in the industry, and he does not want to spoil it.
Anu basically tries to add masala to the show - his comments regardless of whether they are good or bad - they actually fetch viewers!!!! For instance, if a promo is aired with Anu having a argument with Javedji or Udit - I don't know about you, but I will definitely try to catch that episode with the argument.
Let's not forget guys to some extent the show is scripted! I neither hate Anu nor like him, just find him entertaining compared to Alisha & Udit, who are very boring 🥱 just don't take Anu nor the show seriously.
