Hi!, I'm new here. I watched the 4th August episode in India. I thought
Javed Akhtar really went over the top. A man of his stature and knowledge
over reacting like that was sad to see. I just hope it's all a gimmick and
he's been paid good money to behave like that.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, today after Shamit was
voted in by his friends he was trying to make a point that he was really
hurt at being called "political", intelligent" etc.(his views here, i'm sure
some of us would disagree), but the way Javed Akhtar piled onto him first
and later ila Arun was not funny and quite beneath him. I mean, he could
have just let shamit 's comments pass, but to react so violently.... makes
me think he's got something personal against the guy, yaar. Going by
this, shamit will surely again be in Khatra this coming week. my heart
really went out to him....

Don't know who's guilty, but since all voting is done before anybody can
show who they voted for... maybe what they said about wanting Gurpreet
not to feel bad and therefore inadvertantly voting out kirti sounds quite
plausible...But whatever it is... Javed akhtar should remember that he's a
judge and he should rise above these contestants and not spar with
them... Also he should have basic courtesy to let Ila Arun speak,
especially when she so patiently waited him to finish. Don't know about
his lyrics and music, but definitely not very gentlemanly on his part....

as it is he said something unwarranted to Shamit on Wednesday's show
also although he apologised for it...
What's going on ya?

this is realty TV and crazy!!! 😳 . For those who haven't seen the episode
yet , i'm sorry if i'm hurting feelings here--- but as I said one just has to
see Mr. Akhtar in action today šŸ˜†

I dont know about today's episode but Javed's retort to Shamit in the previous episode I thought was very apt. When Shamit was put in the danger zone, he took the mike and tried to justify his stance on voting for Gurpreet and when asked by the judges if he thought he voted for the right person keeping music in mind - he said NO and that he regrets making the wrong choice. To this Javed Akthar said - if you think you made a mistake by voting Kirti out, so be it. BUt if you think you are here in the danger zone because you voted Kirti out - then this would be your second mistake and our big folly. You are not here because of your vote, but just because you were not up the mark today. I didnt think his retort was insulting at all. When Shamit challenged them - he was asking for it on national TV.

I personally think those who voted for Gurpreet that day made the wrong choice. The participants very well know why they have the power to vote - they are not the audience who get to vote just because they like a singers face - they are supposed to vote for the person who is musically sound without holding any personal bias. They failed to do that and did Kirti wrong and this guilt has even affected their performance. I think Shamit should just let it rest and not bring up this topic over and over again.

I feel Shammit should just stop talking now. He talks too much and gets into more trouble.

Agree! Shamit is a good singer....he should just concentrate on singing and making it to the top. Why play politics!!!?

Also, am surprised Qazi got voted in agian by the janta!!! Can't they see that he is NOT a good singer only a performer/entertainer and FG is all about finding NEW SINGING talent!!!

Jaago sone waalon.....jaago janta!!!

exactly my views. Shamit is a good singer and I personally think that Qazi doesn't deserve to be in Fame Gurukul. Why can't jaanta vote for someone who can actually sing. uff. Happe come to the point. Oh ya, I was saying that Jaanta should think before voting. we're talking about someone's singing career here. Qazi has other talents, he is performer, not a singer. I just hope that Ekta brings qazi in one of her soaps rather than qazi winning the fame gurkul cuz that would be a big disappointment. If they keep on voting qazi in then its hard for contestants to take one good singer out. hopefully next time qazi is in danger, is so, the jaanta will think before voting.
I have nothing against qazi and neither do I have special feeling for other singers. We're talking about music here and obviously the two best singers should win.

I completely agree to both of you....!!!! It's a singing competition, not a performance based competition...well it does have the essence, but obviously the main priority is music!!!!

Seriously...janta......ab bas karo!!!!! Vote the right guy in otherwise we would keep on lossing good people from the gurukul every week!!!

Wish what we thought was OUT there for the JANTA to look at!! šŸ˜‰

Qazi's constant reentry is like a slap in the face for the singing world!!! Would u even IMAGINE buying a CD of songs sung by Qazi!?? I surely would not...though for entertainment I would definitley see his video!!

Happe, way to go!!! šŸ‘ I think Ekta SHOULD listen to what you say and take Qazi into one of her soaps......😳

Qazi.....r u listening!?? We have nothing against you. We think you are a good performer and actor (?) but PLEASE leave singing to singers!

Wish we could get our thoughts out to Ilaji and the producers of Fame Gurukul!
