shaan: Saregamapa Challenge is a serious, musical competition. Everyone's worked hard for almost a year on this. And I believe that being respectful is being truly Indian. We have some senior people on the show -- the mentors, judges, etc. I'd rather be stiff and boring that be disrespectful. We do have some lighter moments too during the show. The thing about Fame Gurukul is that it's very heavily advertised. Even about their judges...With all due respect to Javed Saab, he a lyricist. Shankar Mahadevan, of course, is an all-rounder. There's more reality than music there. Even on the show ... That Qazi guy is still there. For us, music is priority
