In his introduction video, Dalal addressed some of his controversies which included his much-publicised spat with fellow influencer Carry Minati. He stated that while many people have an image of him due to his controversies, nobody ever bothered to know the reason behind them. “Everyone on social media is trying to defame me. I am called a bad boy, a villain. People must have seen my controversies, but no one ever tried to know the reason behind them. I was a professional powerlifter. When I wore medals, no one paid attention. But when I was handcuffed, that’s when everyone searched my name,” he said. Talking to the host, superstar Salman Khan, Dalal said that he never started feuds, only reacted when he had no other choice. “The audience likes to see fights, my positive side was never seen, only the negative side got highlighted. As for controversies, I am at fault, but I never start those controversies. I have only messed up with Carryminati once. I never made any hate comments against him until his roast video where he made fun of me. If you influence a huge audience, you should not defame someone.”
