Vishal Dadlani defended Sahdev against criticism in a video shared on Instagram. “Over the last few days, I have seen a lot of videos that ‘this kid should have been more famous, how well he sings. Why is that Bachpan Ka Pyaar boy getting so much fame?’ What I want to say is that both of them are kids. Is it necessary to compare them? One might sing very well, other less so. But one’s song got really popular. Does that mean we have to put one guy down to pull the other one up?” he said in the clip.
