Within a few hours after the show went on the floor, one of the contestants, social media influencer Puneet Kumar, popularly known as Puneet Superstar got evicted from the show due to his antics.
Puneet Superstar was the 12th contestant to enter the show after a lot of grilling by the panelists as well as Salman Khan owing to his public image. Also known as Lord Puneet, the influencer rose to fame when a video of him yelling curses on the back of a motorcycle went viral. Thus, he gained a cult of followers because of his quirky, funny and down-to-earth demeanour.
