How exactly do u get all this information from "inside sources"? U gotta provide some proof, honey. Because as of now u're just coming off as a sore loser desperately trying to make excuses for the janta's unanimous choice. If "everybody" wanted Qazi-Rex, then how the heck did it only receive 26% of the votes compared to RR-Qazi's 47%? Or are u now going to tell us that Javed Akhtar did an All-India tour and put a gun to everybody's head to vote for his favorite JODI? 😆. This article of yours makes up for some nice gossip for people whose favorite contestants didn't win, but in the end it is badly lacking in credibility. Backing up every controversial statement with "inside sources" doesn't mean we'll instantly believe u've any access to inside info. U're not a reporter working for some newspaper. U're a "freelancer". Spare me if I(and a LOT of others) think u're a phony.
Another thing, I'm sick of everybody thinking RR only made it because JA was in love with her. Go and watch every gala where she performs, JA was always harping on her pronounciation. And even when RR did perform poorly(which I believe was only twice), she was saved by the faculty twice, was "safe" due to being the top student the previous week, and came through with the janta's votes a couple of times(whaddayaknow, she's got fans after all). RR in the end won because 1) She was a great singer(IMO the best at FG) 2) A genuinely nice person with a winning smile and 3) Stayed off controversy. Always voted for the right person, which I can hardly say for anybody else aside from Qazi. All 3, especially the last two, made her one of janta's favorites.
