But it is wrong for any human being no matter what position they are at to predict someone's future. What angers me is how can someone so learned and wise, contradict his statements and tell an 18 year old you will not be successful.
Just because he is a well known lyricist, does not mean, he gets the right to abuse an 18 year old. Yes as a judge he can judge his singing, but not his future.
And if the incident is scripted, then people will think even more lowly of him- a great lyricist who I'm sure earns enough abuses an 18 year old on tv for money. I personally don't think Javed Ji would do such a thing for money. He meant what he said. Even if he was having a bad day, being a celebrity he should know that it is wrong to vent his anger on an 18 year old reality show contestant.
