Glad Vishal gave Himesh a taste of his own medicine, it had to be done. Even in doing so, Vishal still did not degrade Aneek, Aneek had no "broken down" look on his face....as opposed to the way Raja, and to some extent Poonam, look whenever Himesh keeps pounding at them. Himesh keeps doing it even though it is visible that his words are hitting below the belt and ripping their ambition to shreds rather than motivating, inspiring, and helping the contestants to work on their weaknesses and build on their strengths.
Constructive criticism is tough love on the one hand, with appreciation and gentleness on the other. It lets the person in the hot seat firmly know that the critic sees the person's strengths as well as their weaknesses, while at the same time helping the person figure out, "Aha! So THAT is what I need to work on....THIS is how I can make my performances better...." or...."I know I can do better. I am getting too overconfident and being lazy...I need to go back to basics." Things of that nature.
Whenever HR gives his negative comments, contestants rarely have that "aha" look on their face.
