A source shared with indianexpress.com that this season there would be no audience on the set during shoots. However, as each contestant can bring a family member (jodi) along, the seating area has been retained. Also, all contestants chosen for the fastest finger round have been put up in a hotel to complete a quarantine before they enter the set.
