MOTW - The Eleventh Apprentice - Page 9

OK, so the first contestant is Karan Daddy, singing Bachna Ae Hasseno(the old one). Although the song is for hassenos, looks like the hassenayos are lovin' it too RTH is mesmerized by his singing and at the end of his performance, RTH breaks into song for hubby dear. "Love me, baby love me" But all of a sudden, we hear a loud snort, which echos through the set. Everyone's puzzled as to it's source. Then we find out that it was OBJ who was the culprit. He is critical of Daddy's performance, and says that he had potential which he failed to utilize properly. He goes onto say that a Rafi song would've suited him much better. Mister K signs off by saying that it was crappy as it did not awaken the consciousness of his inner being. As Karan Daddy walks off the stage, disappointed, the camera zooms towards RTH, who gestures Daddy to call her.

Next, comes in ALD. Now she is very witty and diplomatic about her song choice, since she knows that her dear daddy loves Rafi songs and therefore, sings Dhal Gaya Din, Ho Gayi Shaam.She sings beautifully, and at the end, the trio of judges get up and clap for her. OBJ is the first to comment: Wah, beti, wah, tumhe roti milegi👏 Mindblowing, outstanding, fabulous, Jai Hind, Jai Mata. RTH says it reminds her of 'woh lamhe' with Hubby Karan, and it really lifted her spirits from the sudden departure of her husband. Mister K says that she could've worked a bit on the expressions, but the song brings him a bit closer in his quest for identity.

It's Empti bhai's cue, but after 10 good minutes, the producer(aka me) goes behind the stage to see him share an intimate moment with Meena ji. Too others it maybe just an intimate scene, but to the producer, it is greater TRP ratings. So, he takes out his handy pen-cam and records it. Little did he know that he'd later get sued. When Empti Bhai suddenly realized the time, he got up immediately and rushed to the stage. Before performing, he says that he'd like to dedicate this song to a certain M. So he begins with his performance, ie Meri Pant Bhi Hain Sexy. Although it isn't exactly the perfect song for a finale, Empti bhai adds his own renditions to it, and brings a classic touch to it. Mister K says the he was awesome, but asks if he knows the true hidden connotation of the lyrics. Empti bhai thinks about it for some time and then shakes his head, in turn, Mister K just shakes his head. Next, comes Mommy, who is awestruck by the literal meaning of the songs, and begins commenting on that, rather than the song, and uses certain seductive words that required censoring. OBJ turns into AM this time around and talks about his journey of getting into the movie industry and how this song is very special to him. He starts with one of his shayaris again: "Empti, tune iss gaane par chaar chand laga diya

Empti, tune iss gaane par chaar chand laga diya

Hume bata ki yeh M kaun hain jisne tera dil hain liya"

Empti bhai just blushes and says that he'll tell him later.

So, results time! Just as the judges decided upon Empti bhai being declared the winner, the producer shouts into their earpieces "Agar roti chahiye meri patni boleto ALD ko winner banao". Reluctantly, they(except OBJ) fake joy while declaring ALD's name. The celbrations begin, with the final performance done by TNF Sis aka S.H.A.D, singing Aye Hip Hopper.

The self-assurance that leads one to believe that he/she could be the moral compass in any crowd under any setting, isn't built on sharp rejoinders. It's usually built on honesty, sincerity and righteousness.

Thanks😃

I'll be right on it, Sir.
