In the promo video shared by the channel on Friday, Karan Johar asked Shiv if he played a calculative game for mandali (a group consisting of him and other contestants such as Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Sumbul and MC Stan) or for himself. Karan said to Shiv, “Aap naap tol ke khelte ho… Kisiki wajah se mandali aaj tootegi (you are playing a safe game, today your mandali will be broken)?” Next, Karan tells one of the nominated contestants, “Aapko lowest votes mile hai (you have gotten the lowest votes).” Shiv is then seen leaving the living room teary-eyed.
