War of the mentors | |||
| |||
Controversy just doesn't seem to leave the sets of Zee's Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. The latest issue (in tonight's episode) involves Anik Dhar and Abhijeet Kosambi, who won the Bangla and Marathi versions of the talent hunt. The channel gave them entry to the Bramhastra round since they are state champions. However, mentors Himesh Reshammiya and Ismail Darbar are miffed with this decision. Himesh says why only restrict the entry to only Marathi and Bangla version winners, and not take in Gujarati, Punjabi and Telugu contestants, while Darbar refuses to let Anik and Abhijeet perform on stage. He says the channel shouldn't discriminate between those who've worked hard from the beginning of the show and these new entrants. http://www.mid-day.com/hitlist/2007/june/160088.htm |
