That is how it works with all the contestants in India. Amazingly it has been more than a year since Aneek became the champ but still certain people wont stop bad mouthing the poor guy. How do you know that it was only bengalis who voted for him and not others, do you have some kind of proof? Any way, he is the champ and that too a well deserving one, and nothing can change that.
Wow, i am surprised that somehow, people here know the exact demographics of Aneek Dhar voters.
It is insulting to say that only Bengalis supported him. That would mean that he got votes from then because of being Bengali, which would disregard all the hard work and riyaz he has done to get where he is today. I know for a fact that one of Aneek's greatest fans is a Punjabi girl who was born in Malaysia. And another is an Afghan girl born and raised in the USA. These are just 2 examples of music lovers who have united to support someone who they believe to be a prodigy. It is true that a handfull of folks vote based on region, but that rings true for all regions, not just Bengal. But, the majority of music lovers put other petty issues like region and religion aside and vote for their favorites.
@ Bellevue, it is true. No matter how you slice it, no matter how you look at it, the fact remains, Aneek won Challenge 2007. That won't change. Well i respect all singers of srgmp and i wish each of them a comfortable and prosperous life ahead.
