Sanchita is from the East Zone and the East always vote overwhelmingly for their contestant. The North voted for Diwakar, also the sympathy votes counted a great deal. Poor Sameer did not get the support from the west zone. In my opinion, he should have been second.
There was no comparison between Diwakar and Sameer, it was like day and night, but I think that the public preferred the night, I think India wanted a blind singer to be No1,whether he was a good performer and singer, that was not the issue. what really got to me was that Diwakar did not work half as hard as Sameer, but being a bright lad, he knew that the votes will roll in, whereas Sameer had to work and performed hard for every vote he earned. He was the entertainer, and he was not rewarded.
