Niret and Nikhil Alva, creators of Indian Idol and Fame Gurukul, arrived on the reality TV platform way before Abhijit Sawant and Qazi Touqeer made it a household favourite, says Sourish Bhattacharyya |
Javed Akhtar used to wonder whether Kashmir had really been mainstreamed into India as we would like to believe. After over four months as Fame Gurukul judge, the poet is no longer wracked by self-doubt. There's no way Qazi Touqeer would've walked away with the top honour and millions of best wishes had only the Valley voted for him. His victory, Akhtar told the show's creator, Niret Alva, was small-town India's way of telling the world that though it couldn't make a real difference to the Valley's political situation, it could at least vote for Qazi and make Kashmir bond with India. Voiceless Indians like the 36-year-old Jabalpur housewife and mother of two who has run up a cellphone bill of a lakh in a month and a half because she kept SMSing from five in the morning to bail out Qazi, may have achieved what the country's leadership hasn't. They may have ended the Valley's deep-rooted sense of alienation, which Niret was reporting as a television journalist working for the news video magazine, Eyewitness, 15 years ago. In just one Fame Gurukul episode, Qazi got 48 lakh SMSs in his support. "Now, we're looking at the fallout of the Qazi phenomenon," says Niret, who's jet-hopping across the country for the early rounds of Indian Idol II, which goes on air on November 21. "This year, we have been swamped with entries from towns in Kashmir I had never heard of." Coming from Niret, it means a lot. |
