Be it his angry outbursts, physical altercations with Asim Riaz and Shehnaaz Gill or being accused of touching female contestants inappropriately, there has been numerous heated moments.

Sidharth Shukla was reportedly arrested for ramming his car into multiple vehicles and hitting the divider in Mumbai’s Oshiwara in July 2018. He had not sustained any injuries at that time, but three persons were injured then. He was released after paying a fine of Rs 5000 for rash driving.
