Karan Johar dropped a video on his Instagram feed featuring Maheep Kapoor. From behind the camera, he is heard questioning Maheep about her fame post-season 3 of the reality show. He begins by mocking her for using an old model of a luxury brand's bag. To this, Maheep counters that it was a gift to her from the filmmaker himself.

"How does it feel to see Shalini Passi getting so much attention after the show. Are you feeling threatened?" questions Karan.

Maheep tries to stop Karan from filming and even covers her face. She then says, "You are giving me a headache" to which the filmmaker responds with, "Has your popularity given you a headache?"
