Is Indian Idol making a idiot of all of us? Could all this tamasha about visitor judges being requested to make solely beneficial feedback concerning the contestants be a ruse to enhance the TRPs? A supply very shut to the present who can be an professional on actuality tv says these ongoing controversies are self-generated.

“Suddenly you have contestants being pulled up for being not good enough; you have judges pulled up for not being honest enough. These are all planned gimmicks,” the supply informs me including, “The platform is open to many interpretations on how contestants should be judged. First there was a judge, singer Amit Kumar claiming he was instructed to say only good things about the contestants. You now have a lyricist (Manoj Muntashir) criticizing Amit Kumar for talking against the show. It’s all a cleanly designed spiral of publicity.”

I requested host Aditya Narayan as soon as and for all if the visitor judges are requested to make solely beneficial feedback concerning the contestants, Aditya replied, “No, they are not.”

It is widespread follow on music actuality reveals to generate controversies when there are none. In 2019 the web was ablaze with a narrative on Adnan Sami and Armaan Malik indulging in a spat on the units of the expertise-hunt present The Voice the place they each function a decide. The reality is, there was no such incident in any respect on the units of the present.

Adnan spoke to me and referred to as the entire incident a figment of the PR crew’s creativeness. “One morning they decided to boost the TRPs of the show (The Voice). So what do they do? They decide to plant a manufactured war between the two most popular judges of the show. Shockingly, Adnan Sami and Armaan Malik were not taken into confidence, probably because those who created this work of sickening fiction knew their idea would be nipped in the bud if either of the two came to know of the planned publicity gimmick.

And that’s exactly what happened when Adnan and Armaan came to know of their war on the sets.

Said Adnan, “Armaan and I were shooting for the show when the story broke out. We were aghast. And livid. There was never any hostility between us. Armaan respects me too much to even talk loudly in my presence. It didn’t take us long to know where the made-up story came from. We were even told to ‘lie low and not comment’.”
