I think that ID has done justice to both Nihira and Himani unlike some mentors who are sooo impartial to one challenger 😉. To me, it seems that ID publicly praises all the challengers who have performed well and has criticzed his own students not because he wants to put them down, but for them to learn from their mistakes. Remember, Zee never shows us what goes on behind the scenes of SRGMP when ID is talking or training his students. Besides in his mind I think ID thinks Himani needs more support in his view of a good singer than Nihira. Otherwise he would never have given Nihira, compositions which are virtually impossible to sing. 😃
