After receiving a lot of flak for taking a dig at singer Amit Kumar for criticizing the contestants on Indian Idol, host Aditya Narayan again landed in trouble, this time for hurting the sentiments of the people of Alibaug. The actor, however, had to issue an apology after Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) demanded to do so.

Aditya Narayan wrote in his apology on the Instagram story, "With a humble heart and folded hands I want to apologise to the people of Alibaug and everyone who has been hurt by my sentence on a recent episode of Indian Idol that I’m currently hosting. The intention was never to hurt anyone. I have immense love and respect for Alibaug. My own sentiments are connected with the place, its people and this soil."
