In an interview to Firstpost, Salman Khan confessed that he is in two minds about hosting the show."Sometimes I do feel like I don’t want to do the show and I say it. But then I realise that this show has lot of positive elements for the audience to take from. When we are watching it, we do feel that the behaviour of certain contestants is wrong and automatically we don’t like that person. You feel that if such a situation arises in your life you will never react to it like that. Similarly, when someone shows a positive attitude, we get inspired from that person. There are lot of good things you can take from the show," he said.
