IF SRGMP: Kahan hain MGA aur Director??
December 21, 2006, The Times of India-Forums
IF SRGMP is all set to start with the final date of submission of songs for the first round around the corner. But this journey has not been easy. A lot happened during the last two weeks. Two of the contestants in first auditions were replaced and Two new contestants for each of the four gharanas were selected out of the second auditions. This change has brought in a lot of change in the supporters as well. The supporter of Zankaar gharana Saara Don, has been included in Alaap gharana and hence all support of her and for her has transferred. While the popular contestant from the first series of SRGMP Sunitha has been included in the Zankaar gharana bringing new support to the gharana.
But the most important development has been the sudden disappearence of the Director of the Show Mrs.Barnali and the Official reporter of the show MGA aka Pranjal. Since our reporter is not the official reporter of the contest, he could not take the statements from any Gharana mentors or contestants, but the reporter came to know of the rumours of the third person who abscondeded few days back and had problems with this two persons and hence he went to the Police commissioner (Admin) Mr. Vijay for the clarification on investigation. Mr. Vijay said "Since the format of IF was changed there had been some protests and some celebrations and the whole police unit was busy in arranging for changes and protecting this protests and celebrations and then we suddenly came to know of a kidnapping." When asked if the police is suspecting anyone he said "First we suspected two people. One is called kabhi_21 and the other is Chamelikayaar. As per the witnesses Pranjal was trying to break the jodi of Kabhi and Amrita and was also dating with Chameli, Chamelikayaar's girlfriend. Then we interrogated Kabhi and he is innocent. While Chamelikayaar has absconded few days back and Police is searching for him." When asked about the reason of suspect on Chamelikayaar he said "Barnali had kept his Bails and Bailgadi as hostage for some of her dues he did not pay to her. While MGA reporter Pranjal was constantly eyeing his girlfriend Chameli. So he had sufficient reasons and moreover he absconded from IF few days before the kidnapping. We are tapping the phone lines (PMs) to get some clue of where the two people can be. We assure that they will be rescued." When asked about Appa, the mentor of Sur-sangam gharana, who has also disappeared. He said "We know about that but we are not getting any clue in this case and he had no problems with anyone. But the matter is still under investigation."
While IF is working in Zee style, whether the director is available or not, the show is progressing in the right direction. But what has to be seen is where the director and the reporter is? Are they kidnapped by Chamelikayaar?? If yes, will the police officials be able to rescue them? And whether the mystery behind Appa's disappearing will be solved?
