 This was a pre decided qualification as it was a part of their respective prizes of winning the regional contests.The viewers of Marathi and Bangla had already seen and heard this announcement at live telecast on stage when Abhijeet Kosambi and Aneek Dhar had won the respective competitions, so in fact there was no need for any controversy in that case.Yet the mentors did not approve of this saying they should not be allowed to enter the competition in the middle and that they should have come from the beginning.
