I just finished watching the pre-finals episode that was telecasted here today and my anger and emotions have risen to the peak. I don't know why Javed Akhtar did what he did and I don't want to discuss that as we have already discussed a lot on that topic. But every frown on his face, every rude comment of his, his sarcasm and every justification that he tried to make for his unjust marks was highlighted by the channel striking a blow to our hearts every time.
It could have been edited just like many of the praises were edited for our favorite contestants. But no, this had to be done so that Shaan supporters were left with no other option but to vote. And vote they did! They spent day and night. They spent all their valuable time. They took away time that was supposed to be dedicated to their families. Just so they could undo the injustice done by Javedji.
And what was the outcome? Shaan strikers did win the highest vote. But the channel completely turned the tables by giving so much weightage to the votes of a handful of studio audience which could easily be manipulated.
Who is responsible for playing games with the emotions of millions of viewers? Star plus should be sued for such a heinous act!
