Judges' Fury over Public Voting
The public voting for the Semi-finals had resulted in duo Karan Singh Grover and Nicole Alvares, the lowest scorer of the round, being sent into the Finale and Gauhar Khan and Hard Kaur for the face off. After a unanimous decision in favour of Gauhar Khan, Hard Kaur was set to leave the show after her performance, prepared for the finale. Her performance made the judges display their resentment over the biased voting of the public in the form of a 'strike' till Hard Kaur is brought back. The judges returned the very next episode with Hard Kaur's elimination being inevitable.
