However, the hidden camera test backfired. The members failed to notice the writer’s struggle and continued with their activities, seemingly oblivious to her difficulties. This sparked outrage among viewers, who accused the cast of being inconsiderate and lacking basic manners.

Cast Apologizes
The cast of “1N2D” also released individual apologies, expressing regret for their behavior and acknowledging that they should have been more attentive to the writer’s situation.
Video Removed
Following the public outcry, the production team decided to remove the controversial segment from the episode. The episode is now available for viewing without the hidden camera test.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting others, even in the context of entertainment. It also highlights the power of social media in holding celebrities accountable for their actions.
