The controversy started after Madhuri, who is currently a contestant on the show, opened up about a deeply personal regret during a task. She revealed that she and Ashneer had once wanted a third child, but family circumstances and delayed decisions meant it was no longer possible. While sharing her thoughts, she remarked that affluent families having more children would increase prosperity, whereas larger families among the poor would lead to more poverty. The statement quickly sparked criticism online, with many calling it insensitive and elitist.
