Why Diwakar???? - Page 2

There is a bigger power than Gajendra Singh and that is the management of Zee TV, who is responsible for the public voting and the resultant revenues to the channel thereby.

Diwakar is an extremey polite and well-bought up boy. You can see that from the way he thanks the judges even when he get a poor grade...his Thanx may be not be as exuberant when he gets an B+ versus when he gets an A+.

Look at this this way....he could be whiny and sad all the time lamenting on his visually-impaired state but he doens't do that...he is an extremely positive kid.

Its a pity that divinesoul is not seeing it that way and chooses to see Diwakar as someone "who knows exactly how to get sympathy votes with his sweet n smart talk."

It is Diwakar's positive behavior that is getting him so many votes...instead of calling them sympathy votes, I see them as 'encouragement votes".

India is not the greatest place to be if you are physically challenged... when someone rise above his physical disability, it must be encouraged.

I have no idea why people are voting for Diwakar. Of course, he is a smart kid with brain who is visually impaired and who knows exactly how to get sympathy votes with his sweet n smart talk. Your false appreciation will not enable him to improve his talent. Eventhough, if he wins, he will be nowhere in music industry like most of the winners of the music competitions which were chosen by public votes. Why are you not appreciating the ones who are so dedicated and religiously spends 3 hours riyaz like Abrokanti? Have you ever noticed that Diwakar never thanks for B+ he gets from the judges whereas Sameer is always polite in thanking the judges for whatever grades he gets. He only gets excited whenever he gets A and A+; do you really call that courteous??? He is diplomatic but God bless him and all other kids at the show.

i agree, he is only up this far due to sympathy....i wish he was out when he was out and then abhro would have been in right now....if he makes it to the final 2, i dont know if i am gonna watch this show anymore...😕

diwaker is a good kid and he sings ok but i think abhrakanti sings much beter then diwaker for sure abhi has comand on singing i hope you people remember he sang duets in which he sang lady and male voice in one song everyone admired his singing i think sanchita and abhi are best in my opinian 😊

'We wish to withdraw Diwakar'

'L'iL Champs' contestant Diwakar's parents request the judges to stop hurting their child's feelings.

Last four weeks, Abhijeet has voiced aloud his views on Diwakar getting sympathy votes and has also ticked off Bappi Lahiri for his judgements. This week, a furious argument broke out between the two judges of 'L'iL Champs' (Zee TV) over grading Abhrokanti and Diwakar.

Abhijeet was rude with Bappi to the extent that Bappi had to request him to hold his tongue in public and things could be sorted out once the shoot was done. Then, when Sameer was declared safe, Abhijeet said that from the remaining three kids, Abhrokanti and Sanchita should not be out.

When Diwakar sang, Abhijeet found fault with his low scale and blamed Bappi for being biased towards Diwakar and misguiding the public by giving Abhrokanti lower grades.

Shaan, who is usually calm, intervened to say that Bappi's grades cannot be questioned as it is an individual choice. He adds, "When I was young and my voice was changing, I was also told by experts to sing in a lower scale so that when I am older, my vocal chords don't get ruined by singing on a higher scale."

Witnessing all this fracas, Diwakar's parents Sunil and Alka Sharma speak up. Sunil asks Abhijeet "Aap ek bar aankh par patti bandh kar mike pakad ke dekho, main aapko maan jau! I will stop Diwakar from pursuing his love for singing if you are able to do it. He is a kid, encourage him instead of blaming us that we are cashing in on sympathy votes. We wish to withdraw Diwakar from the contest," And Alka says, "Please stop hurting our child's feelings because all these years, we have never let Diwakar know that he is any less than a normal child. Your comments are hurting him and we do not want any sympathy votes."

Abhijeet walked out of the sets and came back after much cajoling on part of director Gajendrra Siingh and Alka Yagnik. Sunil apologised to Abhijeet and said he reacted as Abhijeet had been unfairly targeting Diwakar and it was affecting the child's psyche and confidence.

Abhijeet then remarked that he had heard Diwakar singing 8 years back and was so spellbound that he had presented him with Rs 500. Diwakar makes it to the final three by a very close margin of votes.

I am in 100 % agreement. I also agree to the fact that more than judges, more than Divakar and his parents, also more than public it is Gajji's interest. He is encashing on Divakar's blindness and increasing TRP. H eis exploiting this family. Shame on Gajendra shingh.

I think he created a false hype after Divakar's elimination that he had public demand to bring him back. The whole video is carefully tailored to make it look like what he wanted.

This is uttter disgrace.

I hope i see some action from Diwakars parents and they should withdraw him not just talk about it.
