Contestant's father hits out at Anu Malek
Indian Idol 5 aspirant Swaroop Khan has a favourite among the judges from the beginning. But recently sparks flew when Anu Malek didn't approve of something.
Malek called Swaroop overconfident and high-headed. He didn't stop at that and also said that there seems to be a complete change in his attitude which is reflecting in his performance as well. Swaroop was in tears. His father, Niyaaz Khan, was very upset and called up the channel to air his concerns. He threatened the channel of a possible boycott in case he is not allowed to meet Anu Malek. Said Khan, "The comment was completely uncalled for. I don't think my son is high-headed or overconfident as indicated by Anuji. He is a humble and diligent boy. I am very disappointed to see Anuji bringing down the morale of the contestants rather than boosting their confidence." Anu Malek meanwhile has stood his ground and said, "My responsibility as a judge is to give a fair and honest opinion. I said what I felt and it is important that the contestants get a fair opinion of where they stand because with such great talent on the show, even small mistakes make all the difference."
Don't miss the high voltage drama as Niyaaz Khan comes face to face with Anu Malek on Indian Idol 5, tonight at 9 on Sony Entertainment Television.
