Dipke firmly said in Hindi that he would not go to India's Got Latent as he doesn’t like it. "Because the thinking that 'Why should we fight. We should take the easy route and get out'. You will be able to get out because you are privileged," he said.

"Wasn’t he in USA? Is he not privileged?," wrote another.
One said, "Is he not provileged, living in foreign land a good life and acting here as bechara, nautanki sala, yaha ke baccho ko bahkane chala aya (He's pretending to be a poor, helpless guy. What a drama. Now he's come here to mislead the youth)."
