if Mandana were to win this then believe me same accusation can apply
- colors endemol backing bc of ekta
- she is not popular in india still won
- movie and final on same day
Indians outside India would have followed the same trend as Indians in India as they share same feelings etc. And I don't think many non-Indians would follow that much let alone vote. Sure they watch it but how many would vote to website or phones in India.
So I dont think she was deliberately defeated. If you ask me considering the hate campaign that was going I am even surprised she got 3rd position.
I have said that establishment has a role too. However it is more to do with weaving the story which in turn generates votes. I dont think they stuff ballot here. So colors can be accused of showing prince as a hero who was rejected..who fought back..won hearts..face tragedy of sister and then won it for her. That was the theme..still he did get votes in the end. People did cast sms. That part I dont think colors did cheating
So once again lets move on...at worst it is about favor but not cheating in votes
If anything Rishab had more chance than mandana and he came very close but missed it ...
The race for real life is on ...
