Completely agree..also Vineet contested at a time where the show was extremely popular but visibility and constant flow of work after the show depended on luck..and he was much better than the winner of the season. That season had n awesome bunch though..Nihira, Ujjaini, Shaarib, Himani, Hemachandra, Md Irfan..all so talented..he stood out among them inspite of his young age..sang BW songs too..maybe his naivete or lack of experience in life led to a setback. It's extremely difficult but extremely important to stay on track n be rooted.
He is in a difficult phase now and trying to stand again. May not win but at least he gets this platform to showcase what he loves.
We keep on saying these shows r for newcomers and they should get opportunities..agree. but they r just starting and have a long way to go. Sometimes there can be exceptions for people who r down n out and going through tough times. N example is Nachiket from II12..he was also on the verge of a breakdown due to pandemic induced lack of work..he didn't win but seems to be in a happy space now..and is a known face with few dedicated fans. Even if less in number..loyal fans r a morale booster
