Fame and controversies galore at Gurukul! www.indiantelevision.com | |||
| | Controversies they say always add to the popularity of a show. Fame Gurukul has seen major tiffs not only between the participants, but also amongst faculty members and judges.But of late, spicing up the proceedings is a war of words between the lesser known faculty members and their well known headmistress, Ila Arun. Prashant Samadhar and Padma Wadkar have been categorical in saying that Arun was being partial towards Qazi, thereby aiding the elimination of Arijit, who according to them was a better singer. Kavita Shyammet up with the faculty members after the controversy and this is what they had to say... Padma Wadkar-
Prashant Samadhar- The students of Fame Gurukul are like my children. I will train all of them because that's my job and do so without any bias. From commoners, they are becoming heroes. What they are learning here is something that will remain with them all their lives beyond this competition. We had major arguments with Ilaji but that was because we had major difference of opinion regarding Qazi and Arijit. Everyone knows who is a better singer and we don't need to say it again and again. We would like to support the one who has been performing consistently well. We won't give 'prohtsahan' (encouragement) just for the sake of it but if I am wanted for 12 hours in a day to train the young hopefuls, I am game for it. The word prohtsahan would not just mean to encourage
And as we leave the Fame Gurukul sets, we ask a sad and weeping Sandeep (who is out of the show), about his experience in the Gurukul and his future plans. "It was an experience of a lifetime and I will miss them all, from the crew members to the make-up artist to all my friends here who have been so kind and supportive throughout. I plan to make it big still as a playback singer," says Sandeep confidently. All we can say is may the best and deserving fame jodi win.. |
