Channel only put money or highlight people when they see good response, like nihal got footage in mid, aru got from start, pd got time with his instrument or even danish got like 4/5 songs in one single epi.
Everyone loved her. She was different, unique and creates this concert like aura with her songs. Then that debacle came with people bashing her and I think danish for ruining old songs. The criticism wasn't invalid though, and maybe that's what lead to people nitpicking stuff like how she's singing in same style or the yodelling. Then instead of letting it cool channel/adi started their sob story of haters. Ek to these days social media gave people voice, on other side any valid criticism is being negative or hating. They brought multiple guests saying stuff like ignore hater, people don't like woman being strong (wtf was that javed ji?) Log being bully. This was a top rated show atlst they could try to be fair to all. They tend to overdo their attention to anything they think sticks - smp ka rockstar, arudeep ka "dosti" sayli k parents angle. Ugh
U said it 👍🏼
To all those people saying India won't accept a singer like SMP (some say India isn't evolved enough..wth..What's unevolved in liking a particular genre and not liking some? To each his own)..
How do u explain popularity of International stars in India?
We made Neha kakkar super successful who is not half as accomplished as SMP but sings same genre..not only her there r more examples..
Yes we love melody..we love our own music..but we ..as in all humans find rhythm in everything..inherently we know what sounds good , what doesn't.. even with zero knowledge of music.
Also we often see SMP dancing when others perform..she is almost in all chorus, have seen her expressions during others' comments. Ya she doesn't get all the extra drama like others..and that's one thing I m really thankful about.
So no one talks about her acting career, hosting career, dancing, love angle or parents story..it's purely singing. Also like when camera pans on her mom..she is really cute n innocent
