But Neha spoke up saying "it's her choice" if the girl wanted to cheat, but the contestant did not have the right to slap her. This created a storm on social media and Neha was abused left, right and centre. Her family was abused and trolled too. Another judge on the show, Nikhil Chinapa was also trolled for his abusive behaviour towards the contestant. While many celebs came in support of Nikhil and Neha, there also many who said Neha's statement was not correct.
