The promo begins with Gaurav Khanna saying, "Pehle darwaza opportunity ka khulta hai, wo talent pe nahi hota. It is, if you know the right people." Hearing this, Amaal quickly jumped into defending himself and said, "Bhai, koi bhi star aap rakhlo, ussi tarah ki struggle hoti hai ek artist ki." Then Malti Chahar shared, "Struggle same nhi hoti, mehnat same hoti hai."

The CID actor then said something, which reminded the audience of Sidhant Chaturvedi. He said, "Jahan tera struggle shuru hua hai, hum aspire karte hai." Daboo Malik’s son, Amaal replied, "Maine kabhi deny nahi kiya ki kisiko foot-in-the-door moment nahi mila", but before he could finish, Gaurav said, "Main foot-in-the-door moment ki hi baat kar raha hu ki wo milna easier hai." Then, Amaal Mallik, who looked visibly frustrated, replied:

"I am not trying to wage a war with you, main fact pe fact pe fact phek raha hu. Hum reverse nepotism ke product hai sir."

"People have to understand that Amaal is not somebody who is doing the maximum number of films. He is not the one who is calling the shots. He is just like any other musician who has done some good work and has been appreciated. He doesn't have the clout that people are thinking. It is the kind of self-thought everybody is developing, and they are putting him and me on a pedestal."
