Like several viewers across the nation, Chopra also loved the programme.

"I really liked the show. I even went to Aamir's house and praised him. We see rubbish and think this is what works ... So many people watched the show that their (the show website's) server crashed," said Chopra, who is all for quality content on TV.

"If you do good work, people will see for sure," he added.
