As the competitive cricketer Sarfaraz Ahmed was building tense anticipation, he attempted to delay the reveal of a box the contestants were supposed to open on the Dabba Kholo segment. Watching Sarfaraz halt like that, Sana Javed interrupted and seamlessly said, ‘What is this? Just open the box immediately!’

Sarfaraz defended his approach, explaining. The game lasts for 45 minutes. We need to make it interesting for television. There is absolutely no way we can keep opening boxes one by one. The last time I made the final decision, people literally sent me messages from all over the world.

Sana also made it a day with a dry witt, “Looks like someone wound you up and now you have no intention of stopping him,” clearly suggesting his rant had disturbed her a lot. “We can all see how well you have performed in the previous round,” Sarfaraz replied to her and did not give much.

“Now it’s like, ‘I did not even see her playing well at all,’” and, ‘why is she acting like this?” This refers to when Sana lost to her husband cricketer Shoaib Malik. “And why do you care how I play with my husband? How about you worry about your game instead?” Immediately retaliated Sana Javed.

Within a few hours, people lost their minds over that exchange and it was extraordinarily easy to split them into two camps. In my opinion, it was crude, out of context, and very demeaning to Sarfaraz Ahmed – some people did not bother giving credits to Sana Javed. One commenter said, “This woman has no manners. The way she is disrespecting Sarfaraz Ahmed is unacceptable.” Another said, “Sana Javed should not be invited to the show anymore. Her attitude is getting worse by the day.”

However, Santos defended her, but they took the criticism too far. She explained that the fact of the matter is that they were just having fun. Most people thought the conversation was taken out of context and both celebrities were having a normal friendly rivalry.
