A task takes an unexpected turnThe controversy unfolded during the season's first immunity challenge.

Expressing his frustration he said, "I have been asking for water for a long time. You guys are making us do this but not giving water; it's not right. Send water."
As the task continued, Ram walked into the middle of the playing area, bringing the challenge to a temporary halt.
Riteish Deshmukh responds calmlyHost and jailer Riteish Deshmukh intervened after Ram refused to move aside. He warned the actor that he could get hit with a paintball if he continued to play in the zone.
Ram responded, "Lagane do, aao maaro." ("Go ahead, hit me." )
