The set up of the show resembles a courtroom, where a celebrity is appointed as a witness, and [[Rajat Sharma]], the host, acts as the lawyer. Personalities grilled on the show have ranged from top politicians and Bollywood stars to sportsmen and spiritual gurus, and they have poured out all sorts of emotions – some tried to browbeat, some defended their acts and some shed tears.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.indiatvnews.com/programs/aap-ki-adalat | title = India TV Aap ki Adalat}}</ref>

In 1995, [[Shiv Sena]] founder [[Bal Thackeray]] came in the show.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}}
