the extract of this message posted by fieldmouse2004 is repeated by mrs asha rao to stop criticism only on arpita and learn to encourage the loosers instead of winners. winners need not be encouraged as they hv achieved their goal .pl remember always loosers shd be encouraged to keep their moral sound and wish them for future.
i dont know if this is the real arpita or not, but frankly i dont care.
i was very disheartened with her departure from fame gurukul and i had no intention of writing on this forum again, but the nature of this topic has compelled me to write.
even if this is the real or fake apita- what i dont understand is why u rbeing so subservient to the opinion of these people, u dont have to shape ur life based on their half baked judgements, ure great the way u are, dont just change because some ppl have formed misconceptions about u. the comments that have been posted in this forum are horrible- in fact u have nevr treated qazi even 1/100 as bad as his supposed fans treat u on this forum. so in that way they are a 100 times worse than they depict u (following their trail of thought), so they cant really call u bad. fr they are treating u as badly as they think u treat qazi (in fact even more horribly) so ppl instead of advising her to look at other for better examples, and to treat qazi better- why dont u pp, follow ur own advice and be nicer to her (for otherwise arent u induging in extreme hypocrisy)
i can understand that u were (presuming again that ur identity is genuine) heart broken after reading the posts- belive me i was devasted. to have some treatu like this (regardless of whether u r a public figure) is unacceptable. oh and btw all u ppl who claim that she is arrogant and blunt etc- just look at the responses she has been providing (again hypothesising hat this is the real arpita), they comprise of so much tact, diplomacy and humility.
but first to respond to the many complaints against her:
1)arrogance: as i have emphasised on countless ocassions, arpita is not arrogant but in fact blatantly honest- she speaks her mind and that is misinterpreted for arrogance and ok fine maybe she too has emphasised that she has been classically trained many times. well i belive then that she has a right to do that, because that shos that she has been working hard for 18 years in the field of music (unlike qazi and rex who just joined). if u had been working hard at something for 18 years, dont u have a right to state it.
and im sorry but isnt qazi the one who claimed that he was born beautiful and that hes better than abhijeet sawant, is that not arrogance?
arpita never made bones about her being very beautiful, she never flaunted it and at least arpita was comparing herself to her fellow competitors, wheras qazi was comparing himself to an already established, very famous singer- is that not arrogance. arpita is allowed to cpmare herself to rooprekha etc, because they were competing to see who is better, wheras qazi's self comparison with abhijeet was totally out of the blue and a definite mark of arrogance.
oh and with no offence to anyone- as i have pointed out before even, qazi would not have lasted two days in indian idol, because in indian idol he would not have been given the consistent tutoring and teaching, that has made him a better singer today.
2)two faced: honestly speaking i have never understood why she was referred to as 2 faced. the general example given is when she told rooprekha that she was not jealous, and there were then flashes of her crying to prashant sir. i can understand why u might see that as two faced, but think for an open mind, it all lies to perception. we concluded that she was jealous and hence crying to prahant sir, but maybe she saw it as her fair right- she belived that she performed better than rooprekha and said it- so she thought she was making an honest judgement and so told rooprekha tht she wasnt jealous, wheras everyone considered it an act of jealousy and hypocrisy. oh and pls rooprekha can also be accused in the same way (just consider her newfound love for qazi)- then why target arpita alone?
3)her opinions: this is particularly for freeze- does arpita not have a right to her own opinions, and to think they are right, i mean in ur post u gave all ur opinions about where she went wrong- and i do presume that u thought they were right, otherwise why would u put them forward? so no offence, but in a way werent u indulging in hypocrisy. everuyone has a right in this world to think that their opinions are correct. for honestly there are very few facts in this world, or judgements all comprise of opinions.
i mean a lot of ppl have stated that they hate arpita because she dislikes qazi- is that a true valuation of her character, arent u ppl being opinionated and not considering other ppls opiniomns by hating her on this basis (for frankly hardly any of the contestants liked qazi- why arent their opiniomns considered?)
4) qazi too can be seen as two faced and a back biter: refer to the episode when he sat and abused sandeep in front of rex- the language he used was vile and vulgar, arpita never resorted to such means, and observe carefully, sandeep wasnt in the room then- so he was back biting.
5)her comparisong with others: arpita had a right to compare herself to others. im sorry but isnt comparing urself to others the whole point of a competition- u win because u r better than others, u r safe bcos u performed better
heck literally every arena of life requires u to compare urself with others. u come first in a race bcos u ran faster than others, u get an A because other ppl didnt do as well and got Cs and Ds - comparing is a part of everyday life, so how can hold that against arpita (oh and for that member whgo stated look at the humility lata ji had- yes she did have a lot of humility, but unlike arpita she did not have to take part in a competition, where she had to consistentl;y prove andshow that she was better than the others and so should be fame jodi)
6)then all u ppl who hate her because she seemed to dislike janta- tell me when did her dislike become apparent, it never became obvious to me? and even if she did hate the audience, i dont blame her. put urself in her shoies and tell me how would u feel if good, talented singers were kicked out because the junta kept on voting in a singer who wasnt seen as very goog by ur facultu or ur jury- and who didnt even want to be a singer in the first place but an actor? in her place i would despise the audience. she has been working hard for 18 years and qazi just had a few months training and hes at top-and fine ha has improved a lot, but that is because he had a lot of scope to improve. he was the weakest, so mathematically he would improve the most. oh and for all u ppl who think that even after 18 years of training arpita does not sing/perform well, just go and look at all her performances with an open mind (for egh the zara zara one of the daiya main, or even the silli silli one)- qazi could not sing many difficult sings without a lot of practice.
7)politics:belive me her kicking arijit out was justified, because he in fact was playing politics and was sneaky (no matter how confused, concioud, or mentally unstable u may be, u would not and i repeat not, kick out ur best friend- who u eat and sleep with- and put their future at stake). and qazi does not always make the right decision ppl please, he was just as a pivotal a factor in shamits exit- shamit performed much better than monica (hinestly admit it), so when he voted against him, he did not votw ith honesty, so why begrudge arpita who ahs always voted honestly, from kirti to shamit to the end.
8)oh btw all u ppl by claiming that qazi was a horrible singer once, and that he has improved ad so should be fame jodi- by stating all that arent u contradicting urself. for then u are admitting that qazi was a horrible singer once- yet u ppl still consistently voted him in. which implies that ur judgemenst were never honest, and in fact very biased. then why should he be deserving, when he has had a chance to improve (at the expenxse of fantastic singers) over biasness. plus ur initial biasness (when he was not such a good singer) suggests that ur judgement even today is likely to be as bias.
9) it is kind of sad when one singer has so much power, that he not only deternines his position, but someone elses position in the fame jodi. for regardless of what anyone might say, the main reason why rooprekha is being suddenly liked so much (honestly)is largely because of her new found love for qazi. meanwhile, u ppl have admitted that u despise rex and arpita, because of their supposed bad behaviour towards qazi. is it fair that one songer/person should have so much power, is that not a sort of dictatorial influence, and really really sad.
plus i dont see why qazi is the standing point of all judgements- fine u like qazi, vote him in- but then why should the second winner be chosen accordiing to their favour of qazi and not because of their capability and talent?
based on this i would have to say that qazi is the conniving one (forhe is the one with this power and not arpita), he is the one who has milked sympathy from the audience because no other contestant seemed to like him as much (think of it logically- from the 16 contestants hardly anyone like him- with the exception of monica- there must be a reason for all this, they could not all have just collectiveluy disliked him. plus they spent every day with him, in comparison to thesnippets we obserev therefore their judgement hold more value.
it is sad the way ppl in this forum have misconstrued and mistreated arpita, again for being human.i hjave always felt that she has been right in complaning that rooprekha got the better end of things, because hinestly the juf=dges were biased (namely javed akhtar- who has implied it on constant ocassions that rr is his favourite). just look at the week when qazi was top student, arpita was fanbtastic in her two performances, but while javed akhtar gave a whole and hearty reponse to rooprekhas performance, he totally evaded giving arpita an honst opinion, by stating that the decision has become very hard and by second time just saying that she was good (wheras he could not stop praising rr). even shankar was biased towards kirti and arijit. arpita has been prejudiced against, i saw the performance of that gala again and she was fantastic- eons better than the others, i cant believe that she wasnt safe then.
to colclude arpita really was the mpst promising and deservong of the lot. she had it all looks, brains, x factor, talent, articulation, honesty...the list is endless and she should have won. her only flaw was that she didnt no how to play the game, how to gain the audiences support (which was of course to be obtained via qazi)- and i cant blame her, she lived in a studio- cut off from the rest oif the world.
she was my favourite and i was again completely disheartened by her exit. i wish her best of luck for the future, and btw she does have fantastic scope as an actress, she has the looks already and her acting skills have been credited by that fame gurukul episode in which that fake tutor made them enact this love story. oh and for u ppl who think she'd excel in a negative role- i must say i have to agree with u , for even tho she is good atheart, she is a perfectionist and so will excel at aything she puts her mind to.
best of luck arpita (again)- may ur futute be very prosperous. apologise for the long length of this post and ask u not to pay heed to the baseless negative comments of many of the members (again presuming that this is the real arpita- and if its not, ure a great fan to attemt to absolve her image)
