Javed ji,
We adore you for your literary skills. All these years you've given us some beautiful stories and lyrics to enjoy but looks like all that sense of judgment and objectivity has gone somewhere. Last night, your comments and reaction on Emon and Ankita were appalling, specially on Emon. I have complaints to make-
- You charged Annu Malik for interfering and cross commenting on your judgement but please remember that you too did it many a time with Alisha and Udit. Perhaps, you need a recap of previous galas to see how interfering you were. So, if you have done the same before then why the same allegations on other judges now?
- You said Emon is unfit or rather shouldn't stay as he would sound bad with orchestra and is not a good performer whereas Ankita is not a good singer but atleast can be a good performer. I didn't know that this was something like Nach Baliye or Jhalak Dikhla ja where participants have to be good dancers. Even in shows like these contestants have to be good dancers and not good singers. Then why do we always get hanged on performance in singing competitions?
If you've watched all those .A.R.Rehman's shows you would see that singers sing peacefully focusing more on sur and taal and a group of dancers or 'performers' are called to dance on stage. This is the convenience that singers have today to focus more on their singing on stage. Where does this leave 'performers' like Ankita?
- Last but not the least; you said that Ankita lost because of social prejudice against girls. As a woman and lots of other like minded young women in our country I have to say that we don't need success on the basis of gender or because we are women. We want to be successful because we deserve it. If we don't deserve we don't want it. Hamein daya ki bheek nahin chahiye. We don't mind waiting.
Sabse zyada prejudice tho aap mein hain Javed ji. Aap hamesha apne favorites ko hi sarahte hain aur unki taareef karte hain. Jo apko pasand nahin uski kbhi aap tareef hi nahin karte. Ankita chahe jitna kharab kyon na gaaye lekin aap uski taareef karne se nahin chookte, baaki contestants chahe kitna achcha gaaye lekin koyi na koyi nuks nikalte hain. Change yourself first Javed ji!
