However, his demand was not met, which is why he refused to be a part of the show.He said, “When they first came to me, they did not meet my condition. My condition was that I should be paid more than Akshay Kumar, just one rupee more. This was the first season, and there was nobody else who could do it but me. It was quite obvious. But when they came to me, I said, ‘There is a condition.’ They did not agree, and I didn’t want to compromise. I was happy with my decision."How Sanjeev ended up judging the showSanjeev shared that even after he refused, the makers kept approaching him to appear on the show for one episode, but he stuck to his decision.However, by the third season, the producers admitted to Sanjeev that the format was not working and asked him to judge the show. “By the third season, they actually said, ‘Sir, it’s not working. We need you. What do you think we should do?’ I said, ‘I don’t think I can…’ They replied, ‘No, we’ll do exactly what you say,’ and all of that."Akshay judged the first two seasons of the reality show alongside chefs Kunal Kapur and Ajay Chopra.

Whatever you are paying him, I will charge one rupee more.’ This is my field," he had said.
