Controversies[edit | edit source]
The producer of this series, ABP News, came under controversy over showing Arvind Kejriwal under negative light.[citation needed] Use of language on defining every aspect of his life has been overly negative.[citation needed] Arvind Kejriwal himself tweeted about his surprise over the episode on his life. ABP News itself in under criticism for producing biased news.[citation needed].
On the contrary, ABP News has appealed to Arvind Kejriwal to tell about the 'fictional' part of the show and has mentioned that he will be given space to clarify his stand.[12]
