Nihira's exit was truly remarkable. I expected tears and disappointment, but she was so remarkably poised. I think Zee also realizes what it has lost, hence they made this episode something truly memorable. Every gesture and statement by this sweet girl was like a landmark, as if like Zee wanted to capture it and savour it for the day when Nihira would be a legend and they can replay this tape saying "We had such a great artiste like Nihira".
The song "Rahen Na Rahen Hum" was predecided, hence in my view Nihira was already aware of the result and she decided to make her exit as sweet and as poised as possible. She has carved such a deep impression in the hearts and minds of people. I am sure that her fans must be loving her even more after this graceful exit. She has proved one thing that greatness comes not just from being a wonderful artiste, but also from being a wonderful human being.
There are great artistes who sing from the bottom of their hearts - but this wonderful girl sings from the bottom of her soul. The show has already lost it's soul. All one sees now is the carcass falling apart without it's soul.
