Nadira raised concerns about the impact of Abhishek Sreekumar's presence on the show, particularly his nomination of Abhishek Jayadeep, wherein he allegedly labeled him as a representative of a community that perpetrates societal wrongs. Nadira interpreted this as a deliberate act of hate speech against the LGBTQ community, designed to incite misunderstanding and animosity towards marginalized groups.
Expressing dismay over the telecast of such remarks, Nadira lamented the potential repercussions on impressionable viewers, particularly children and families who may be misled by false narratives about LGBTQ individuals. She urged the show's producers to uphold their commitment to inclusivity and respect for all communities by refraining from airing hate speech and fostering a more understanding environment.
