The second season of Myntra Fashion Superstar, which has Sushmita Sen and Manish Malhotra serve as judges, hit a roadblock on September 10 after 33 people from the set tested COVID-19 positive. Though the filming was immediately suspended, some contestants believe the production house did not take adequate measures to ensure the team's safety during the initial days of shoot after the show went on floors on September 1.
A contestant, on condition of anonymity, told mid-day that the entire unit was tested when the show kicked off in the last week of August. "When we started out, it was mandated that we test negative to be in the show's premises. After a few days, one of the participants complained of constant fatigue. Though he didn't have the usual Coronavirus symptoms, we brought his ill-health to the makers' notice. But they assumed that he was weary and ignored our complaint. As the days went by, we started noticing how the sanitisation process would start after we reached the Powai set. The cleaning of toilets wasn't frequent, and the testing wasn't done every day," says the contestant. The show is produced by Banijay Asia.
