Karan ka band bajaa

Actor-turned-singer-turned-anchor Karan Oberoi accuses Zee of giving him step-motherly treatment. He has threatened to quit Antakshari if his grievances are not addressed immediately

Agitated over the fact that the common creative team of Zee's Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and Titan Antakshari is neglecting Titan Antakshari altogether, host Karan Oberoi says, "I know that Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is a big show and they are promoting it in a big way… but I cannot tolerate their step-motherly attitude towards Antakshari!"

Miffed at the state of affairs, Karan has decided to quit the show. "I have been getting many offers (😛😆😆) but I accepted Antakshari on the condition that they won't interfere with creative inputs. If they don't address my problem I will not be a part of the second schedule!" Karan says firmly.

Karan, a pat of Band of Boys, shares a great rapport with the contestants and bonds well with the contestants. "Everyone knows I am friendly and jovial on the sets so that it looks good on screen. Moreover, the show becomes spontaneous as they feel easy on the sets. But, when I see the episodes on screen, all the friendly laughs are missing, and it's shocking!" Karan adds.

Unlike his predecessor Sunil Pal, Karan also shows his dancing and singing skills. "Antakshari is a music based show, singing and dancing just add value and jazz to the show. But they always edit all those bits. As an artiste I feel this is really cruel on their part," says Karan.

Karan feels that the TRPs of the show have increased manifold because they have given their blood and sweat to the show. He has been shooting day in and day out just to make sure that the show looks good. "I always shoot two or three hours more than what is required. But whatever is happening is unfortunate," he says.

However, Payaol Patel, creative head of the show seems clueless about the development. "We shoot for four hours, and it has to be edited to 20 minutes. Everything cannot go on air. I know he is perfect as a host and creatively involved with the show. I didn't know things had heated up so much. He wanted to meet us before the second schedule. I am sure he will calm down," says Payaol.

Why he doesn't deserve to be be part of the show???? He is an actor, he is a singer; he has all the qualities to be an anchor.

Maybe he's leaving because of the recent media speculation surrounding him and his co-anchor Himmani? 😕

mooni i dont think that those rumours were the reason... could be some other internal problems

but how far is the statement that "the TRPs have increased manifold" true? 😕
