All it’s essential do is take a look at the TRPs of the primary season, after which examine them to the TRPs of season two and season three. I’d like to inform Mr Mittal another factor. The person who left after season one was the GOAT, the remainder of you’re nonetheless auditioning to turn out to be sharks.”
