Sunidhi Chauhan shares her two cents on 'Indian Idol'
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,May 31 2021]
After Amit Kumar's criticism of the show, 'Indian Idol' has become a topic of controversy which doesn't seem to end. Amit Kumar, son of legendary singer Kishore Kumar, criticised the show for its sub par quality and compulsion on judges to praise each and every contestant. Since then, several celebrities have expressed their views on the topic and the most recent one of them is singer Sunidhi Chauhan.
In an conversation with TOI, Sunidhi shared that she had to leave the show since she couldn't give fake praises. She said, Not exactly this ki sabko karna hai but yes, we all were told (to praise). That was the basic thing. And so, I couldn't go on. I couldn't do what they wanted and I had to part ways. Hence, today, I am not judging any reality show.
She further added that not giving constructive criticism is bad for contestents. She said, Lekin ismein artiste ka hi nuksaan hota hai. He/she gets praise and recognition almost overnight due to his/her stories which are put out via AV and their hunger to strive for excellence diminishes. Yes, some of then still do work hard but the instant fame affects them psychologically. It's a simple case of acquiring too much too soon. Not the contestants' fault, it's simply because the name of the game is TRPs.
