In all probability, the article was planted very selectively by Ashmit's PR team and/or the channel. As a deft PR excercise, it tries unabashedly to provide credible answer to an incredible question as to "how on earth can Ashmit garner more votes" But to a discerning, it looks like a feeble, juvenile attempt.
The two groups, viz.; the Gujaratis (the Gujjus) and the Bollywood fraternity are known to be totally business-like. There is no "apna Gujju bhai" or "Apna Bollywood Bhai" kind of sentiments for these business groups, by and large, to account for the votes "generated" for "Popular" Gujju Bollywood star Ashmit Patel. Not more than 20 to 30 per cent votes Ashmit garnered can be attributed to "Save Gujjubhai" sentiments and the notoriously treacherous bollywood bonhomie for a virtual non-entity like Ashmit. The very people who would not give work to Ashmit and Amisha would actually campaign for Ashmit!! And here we are not talking about the Punjabis or Bhojpuris, who would vote or support a fellow Punjabi (e. g. Vindoo) or a Bhojpuri (Ravi Kishen, Manoj, etc.) without asking "what do I get in return?" For business community like Gujjus, ROI (Return On Investments) comes first and they do not invest without returns. There are no free lunches. It is all about takkas. And, I guess that is the way it should be. A true blue Gujju would support another Gujju to set him up in his business if he has potential. It is all about merits for them.

1. So where did the votes come from, if at all they really came? Definitely not from the Gujju or Bollywood vote bank as the article tries to explain away conveniently on the PR/Channel's behalf. We may deride Manoj for being an egoistic oaf or whatever. But he is right when he asks how on earth a nobody like Ashmit can get votes more than at least a Bhojpuri somebody like him??Were the "bought"? Were they "produced" mass-scale by some software? Your guess is as good as mine. The only clue is the PR work and the Channel's craving for TRP. In between these two lies the vast, unfathomable expanse of dark, murky waters.

But the biggest chunk of votes must have come from Gujarat. A mass SMS campaign called 'Save Aapno Gujjubhai' (Save Our Gujjubhai) was conducted in the state by Ashmit's managing team.

All this, while everyone thought Ashmit would lose out to Manoj Tiwari.
