[quote=mr_bond] lol this coming from the most intelligent member of the forum 😆 😆 😆[/quote]

Mr_Bond, It just shows that popular votes winner is not always the right choice😉. These SMS I tell you.😆

Yep..bottomline is Indo-Nepal relations are centuries old. A lot of people here need to know about ground realities. Plenty of ignorance in this thread.

I concur with the bold part😛. Looks like people only know the age old relationship with two countries and are actually unaware of recent developments between the "neighbors". In any case what does it have to do with Prashant promoting that country's tourism using Indian Idol platform?
We can have Indo-Nepal ties debate on DM.

Here we are divided on the actual subject so just leave it at that.😊

who cares ; if Prashant becomes happy doing that or some other people people get happy ; let them go for it

i dont think Indian Idol is such big a title which should be given utmost importance to the winner

abhijeet sawant , sandeep acharya , qazi , debojeet , ruprekha , rehan k are all music hunt winners in recent days and this yr u willl see probably aneek , harshit along with prashant

now i dont care what these ppl do in their personal lives , they have full liberty , it should be kinda ignored

the only thing which hurt me was the murder of music but that happens everytime with public voting and when special category ppl come to picture , they are bound to win and its perfectly alrite bcos the competetion is based on public voting and we have no right to blame anybody

prashant shouldn't bother with all that because if he wouldn't have won ii3 then they wouldn't probably have cared a bit.

Is there any recent developments between Nepal and India that are pulling them apart? I think, India and Nepal are more closer these days. Both governments are loyal to each-other. Senior politicians of both countries are working together to solve their problem. Exchange of support and joint activities are being more intense in my observation. Now tell me, what recent development are you referring that these two neighboring countries have to forget age-old relationship?

This really is called making a hill out of a mole hole. All poor Prashant needs to do, if he accepts this proposal is to say 'I enjoyed my visit to Nepal, it's a beautiful place, the people are so welcoming and friendly' blah blah in a few interviews, appear in a few commercials by the Tourism Ministry, if there is one, what's the big deal?

If nobody questioned Sunil Gavaskar's loyalty towards India, when he occupied the same title as the Brand Ambassador for Nepali Tourism, why all these questions now? If nobody thought Gavaskar was helping the economy of Nepal, why the questions now? For those who think this only benefits Nepal, think harder. In the outside chance that someone from India decides to visit Nepal after seeing Prashant commercials, which country's travel agency will he/she use to make the arrangement? (Indian Agency ofcourse) Which airline will that person fly? (Air India or Indian Airlines or Sahara) If that person brings back some goods from Nepal and pays duty at the Indian customs, who gets the revenue? (Indian Govt). Sure, that person will stay in a Hotel in Nepal, eat in Restaurants and spend here and there, but with the number of business that have atleast partial Indian investment, something is surely going to be channelled back to India. SO all this talk about just benefitting Nepal is an ignorant statement, to put it mildly.

Also, it's quite interesting to see this extreme reaction from many of those who have predicted Prashant will sink into oblivion, vowed never to buy his CD, berated him as a bathroom singer, claimed that he is not ever 'their' Idol (as 'their' Idol is either Amit or Emon or Chang and like)! I had never even dreamt that this little non-issue would suddenly cast him as 'their' Idol and they would start expecting him to act in the manner befitting their version of an Idol.

Yeah, I don't understand why anyone should have any objection on him accepting that. And why should any Indian have any objection if it helps Nepalese tourism.

Yash Raj Films and Switzerland share a special relationship for the past few years. Infact, the Swiss Government has honoured Yash Chopra for helping rediscover Switzerland and he was presented a special Award by screen goddess, Ursula Andress on behalf of the Swiss Government. A lake in Switzerland has been unofficially named 'The Chopra Lake' because of the way he has used it in films.

Maybe we should make a law banning our movies getting shot in foreign locales...why promote them (rich nations) at our cost.

I can assure you if for example tomorrow AB or SRK is declared brand ambassador for USA...the same people shall jump with joy.

You are right. I don't think anyone would bother what Prashant does after winning the title😉. I should have known better. I shouldn't have given this matter undue importance.😛
