In II-2 when Amey got out, the whole blame was mounted on Anuj and he was out in next gala.
In II-3, the first Villian was Richa, who got out early and now its Ankita. Sony is showing her in poor light so that she doesn't get enough votes. And in a planned way the reason for Deepali's exit is mounted on her.
They want Amit to win the title, no problems (he is good singer) but victimising Ankita for nothing is Sony's worst play so far.
