I am amused by the outpouring of emotions over Shamit's departure. I think it is all very naive.
Firstly FG is a "REALITY SHOW" not a "SINGING CONTEST". Even Sony promotes it as such. FG is a BHEL PURI of American Idol, Weakest Link and Survivor. If you want to see a singing contest see Sa Re Ga Ma Pa on Zee. Only the external Judges decide. No public votes. Evenise then there is dissension.
Also Arijit played the Survivor game. Both Shamit and Arpita had gone public with their intention of becoming the "Fame Jodi" So Arijit knew that he could reach the top 3 but not become the FG since Shamit amd Arpita had put things in motion. So he knew that sometime or the other Shamit and Arpita would gang up on him and vote it out. So he broke the Jodi.Also it took a lot of guts and gamble as he could not have known ho others would vote. But he had an idea and he took his chances.
Considering it's a REALTIY SHOW, I will say, smart move pal. I am sure sometime in the future Shamit would vote out Arijeet.
So let's treat FG as the Reality Show it is. It has become more interesting.
BTW all students are manipulative though they like to show the are Bola Bhala and emotional. Pleas STOP SHEDDING TEARS. Especially the MEN
