The weekend episode witnessed a face-off between Dhanashree and her friend Arbaaz Patel, who was provoked after his girlfriend Nikki Tamboli spoke heavily against her. Dhanashree was hurt and openly described her emotional setback: "I couldn’t sleep the whole night, just kept crying. I didn’t feel good about a lot of things. It has been very difficult for me to do this show. I know, a person like me who has gotten so much hate from outside, her friend is hated on the show, and I still stood by you." She also emphasized the effort she had put into supporting Arbaaz, mentioning how despite repeated failures, she had always urged him to "mend your ways."
