Addressing how budget cuts have affected their lives, Haarsh said:

"We face a similar problem. People see me host a show on one channel and Bharti hosting a show on another channel, people think I would be charging Rs. 20 lakhs per day, Bharti would be getting Rs. 50 lakhs per day. That’s not true. We are surviving on loans, and if we don’t take the work that comes to us, somebody else will."
