I think this one is okay. She is still very, very young. This way she gets to stay in Mumbai, with all expenses paid, plus earn some money. She is already a good singer, she should continue with her riyaz, and besides a singer will always learn something from a musical show. While doing the show she can look for playback singing opportunities - but yes, after this she should focus only on her singing career.
I agree.
All singers do reality shows if they get a chance.
It is not as if she is flooded with work which she is ignoring to do reality shows.
Work may take some years to come. Good work that she can make a name with.
In the meantime if she hangs out in Mumbai someone will have to pay the bills.
Visibility is also a factor. Someone like Sachin has come back for fresh visibility, as did PD, Neelu.
It is great if she could concentrate on riyaz, learn new skills and while doing so get meaningful work. But meaningful work can take time. Just riyaz and new skills won't get you new work unless someone gets to hear it or talk about it.
Most importantly, she is signed with Sony. Getting work is difficult while she is signed by them because they ask for steep fees. Most music directors are unwilling to pay for something that usually comes free to them. I know for a fact that Arunita is unable to cut any songs in Bengali at this time because of Sony's rates.
So, what is better. This work or no work, just skill sharpening and slow descent into obscurity?
Me 2 and a half cents ! 😃
