It isn’t even that simple. Going by Sonu N, salim suleiman interviews even music directors don’t have a say. It’s the music mafia cartels that decide & dictate. Figures how Tony or Neha get to sing.! It’s a tough world out there. Poor kids. But they will learn the hard way to fight & survive. 👍

We get n idea of the struggle just by Pawan's example..winner of The Voice..worked with Mahesh Manjrekar, knows Salman who has apparently heard him sing and liked it, Shaan was his mentor and he earned lots of praise n encouragement from both Shaan and HR on his first show..has made a brief appearance in Kapil Sharma show...inspite of all this he didn't see mainstream success. It took n Indian Idol for him to earn that fame n recognition loaded with audience love.

Guess if anything has to change, only and only audience can do it

Do you have any other ID? It shows that you join this forum today but you mention that you have been following the forum for last 2-3 months? 🤔

Following = just reading without having to register. Resisting the temptation of posting. As you can see, just today I have posted quite a few times. Imagine what would have happened if I registered and posted during the height of the season!

I found out he has sung a Bangla song too, in 2019, for Jeet Ganguly. And since I understand Bangla I could say that he did a good job of the pronunciations and intonations to capture the emotions. Looking forward to an Arudeep duet in Bangla 😊

Been following this forum for 2-3 months now, first reply here. Couldn't resist commenting on the Arudeep debate.

Earlier when II started, during the Govinda episode days, my wife used to be the one teasing about Arudeep and I would comment saying that this is just on-stage chemistry between two good artists. Then 2-3 months ago, around the same time I started following IF, I also started following PD and AK on Instagram, and then came the fan pages. Having now seen their off-stage chemistry, their body language, and so on, I now definitely believe something more is at play here.

As you follow fan pages and comments in IG, you learn about small tiny things that fans notice - and then you go and verify that yourself. How their actions are in sync, how the nuances are communicated through eye-sights, non-verbal communication between them, etc. For example in one of the live interview how AK knows PD is looking for his phone when he has only just glanced to his side without making any obvious hand movement. Then the things about the jacket, phone, ring, masks (Piyazz has pointed out in other threads), PD protecting AK from some random selfie hunter during the Octopus event. The famous Ashaji episode where AK was so intently watching PD - you can find this all over the IG fan pages. How AK is always the happiest when PD does well and most concerned when he is signing singing a song we know is going to be difficult for him. Innumerable bread crumbs that join together to form a trail of evidence.

And their music. Anoushka or somebody mentioned in a thread and I agree - how much they are on cue even when singing ex tempore and unrehearsed. It is as if their heart beat is in sync. You can see this in all the clips for the Octopus event floating around, or even in the unrehearsed O Saathi Re during the Antakshari in the finale. Their voices match as if the universe sat with a tuning fork to create two a pairs pair of matching vocal cords.

I have told my wife - these two always remind me of how she and I fell in love when we first met. Those of you who have been there know what I mean - you just know this is it. There are no questions, no doubts.

Sorry, long and perhaps a bit over the top. But I genuinely believe these two are destined to be together. I sincerely pray that God gives them the maturity to handle the different trajectories that their careers are bound to take.

Edited for typos...

Will add to it..have u noticed they also always touched the feet of all guests together..just two of them. Even if they r sitting apart they somehow come together during this ritual

Yes that too. I should have expanded on that when I said actions are in sync. And "rab ne bana di jodi" - "thank you sir" in the KJo episode 😃

The fan pages on IG are a treasure trove of incidents and analyses.
