Fan smooches Emraan on reality show, Pritam walks off in disgust

"If the whole thing was planned then all I can say is, the show is digging its own grave," says the appalled music director Pritam Chakraborty about the bizarre events that transpired during the recording of the reality show Voice Of India on Monday, 25 February.

In the middle of the shooting a female member of the audience ran to stage to kiss the serial-kisser, Emraan Hashmi smack on his lips. After a horrific silence, judge composer Pritam Chakraborty walked out of the show in disgust.

Recalling the embarrassing episode Pritam says, "It was all so sudden…and disgusting. Voice Of India is a show about children, and encouraging children's talent. We can't have such cheesy behaviour on this show. Also, the Bhatts and Emraan Hashmi were my special guests. I had to make my displeasure very clear. So I did walk out."

Pritam reveals this isn't the first time when he put his foot down on the show. "Earlier they were planning a full show spoofing Himesh Reshammiya. When I came to know of it, I was horrified. I asked the other judges Shreya Ghosal and Kunal Ganjawala if they were okay by it. They said they were not. I called up Himesh to ask if he was aware of the spoofy plans. He wasn't. So, I urged our producer Gajendra Singh to turn the whole spoof into a homage to Himesh."

Says Pritam, "Voice Of India has the potential to give us deserving winners. I don't want it to end up being just another TRP-hungry music show."

Disgusting if it was planned. and unfortunate if it was not planed an if someone just did that out of the blue.

But if it is aired then definatly its going to be the most shame full thing that could happen in a childrens related show. So Star Plus and Gajji get this straight DO NOT AIR some thing shamefull like this.

If this is planned then it is a cheap plan by GS. Rightly said by Pritam it is a show for kids and this should be kept in mind.

Disgusting. Pritam's statement is very true. All the celebrity guests only come to promote their movies, with minimum knowledge of music. They might be good in something else though.
Gajji should stop bringing in such guests & invite people in the field of music... there are so many. My 5 yr old kid watches this show, who is very much inspired by the little children taking part in the competition who sing so well.

I salute Pritam, if he walked out of something which went against his grain. Gaining popularity through cheap tricks should not be supported and hats off to Pritam for standing by his values! 👏

Just a question? Is there some new album of Pritam being released? 😉

Disgusting!!!!
Gajji is messing everything up! He is ruining the innocence of the show!!!! 😡
Pritam da is right!!!

😆 But that is what SVOI has become. Despite such great talents, more focus is paid to TRP raising tactics. Unfortunately, the TRP does not rise...

Why do I feel this is also a TRP raising gimmick...😆

Disgusting in every sense.Likely to be scripted,both the kiss and the walkout.It was revealed sometime back that in another show a girl was actually paid to do such an antic.
If this is telecast,it was scripted without an iota of doubt.Even otherwise it may be a publicity stunt via print media.
Finally,the reporter is the one against whom Sonu made serious allegations.Dont know whether to trust him.
