Judges send him back

This made all the judges quite angry. He then went on to apologise to his ex-girlfriend on TV but the apology seemed fake to Nikhil. Ranvijay then brought up the topic of how Ashish had mentioned that he would like to have section 377. To this, the judges tried to make him understand that people are free to love who they want. The auditions ended and the contestant was sent back. 

The judges then talked about how they feel there is a need to reach out to the younger audience because they don't have a clue about what they are talking. They also mentioned that the younger generation doesn't realise their mistakes. Many of the auditions rounds then happened virtually.  Shreya Kalra was the winner of the virtual auditions round.
