I have been hearing a lot of bad words about Ismail durbaar here lately. Lets keep one thing very clear....musical acumen and behavioral aspects are two absolutely different things and lets not confuse things. I saw somebody calling him even a coolie!!!!! Now, thats bad. If you think he is toooo rude to the newcomers, probably you have not heard of how Ustaad Allaudin Khan saheb used to behave with his students... how maa siddheshwari devi used to literally kick the students out of her house..BUT can anybody point a finger at their musical genius?? NO..
Remember the song which one of ismail durbaar's sudent sans (a new composition) and also remember the coment which Aadesh Shrivastava (admittedly one of ismail's biggest critic) was absolutely floored by the composition and the remarks he made. Lets not forget the inimitable classy music of Devdas and HDDCS in our bias against Ismail..
I am myself a music connoisseur and understand the nuinsances of whats is being played out there on the show. believe me, the singers are class..and also, you MUST remember that all the music directors who are sitting there as mentors are extremely talented people who have proved themselves in the industry owing to their talent, perseverance and sheer hard work...So, plzzzzzz think 100 times before calling any maestro a besura, coolie, idiot etc etc....
I also agree that Ismail is somebody who is not taking things in a good spirit and it shows on his face. Even when in one episode, he said charo taraf dushman hein...and when Jatin said ye bhale hee hamein dushman samjhein, hu to inhe dost samajhte hain..... Ismail should have apologised for his comments or at least should have clarified his point...but he didnt..anyway..let cncentrate more on the great music he makes rather than only looking at his behaviour..
