besides do u realise that even tho amanat is from pakistan, no-one ever mentioned that pakistan was being counted in the voting system.😕

but then we never no if pakistan was counted in or not🤔

maybe Pakistan was counted as internation b/c its not a part of India
but idk....some people are saying Pakistan people couldnt' vote at all b/c they dont have Zee TV...what the heck? 😕

Yeahh .. I Don't Think That Votes From Pakistan Have Been Counted. That Is Really Unfair For All Three Contestants Coz All Of Em Would Have Got More Votes Like That.If Pakistan Was Voting And People Watch SRGMP As Much, I could Say For Sure That Amanat Would Have Won And Junaid And Mussarat Would Be In The Finals As Well.This Is Because Their Home Towns Would Be Voting More And There Would Be More Of A Chance.
By This Am Not Saying All Pakistani's Would Vote Only For Them Three .. Ofcourse Not. Although People Still Think That India And Pakistan Are Predujiced, But They Are Not. Only Some People Are..Maybe 1 In A 1000.We Should Thank People Who Took Our Amanat This Far In India And The Rest Of The World. 😊

Thanks For Taking Yur Time Out To Read This .. And Sorry If It's Too Long. 😊

yeah right if they allowed votes from pakistan even junaid n mussarat would have come lil forward and most importantly amanat would have WON!

aneek n raja just had their single states, while amanat would have a WHOLE country! but how would zee let this happen

and you guys...Pakistan is a whole NATION...how can you underestimate its power on the voting trends? Having a whole country's support would def boost up his chances, wouldnt it? if there's crores of votes from 132 nations (according to aditya) then surely each nation had lakhs and lakhs of votes right? Just like in INdia they didnt only vote for one contestant, in Pakistan they wouldnt either...but lets not forget that Amanat had the least votes in India...isnt there a high chance that would apply to raja and aneek in pakistan?

I know here in Canada... #s were being given out to the international audience to vote for the contestants of their like.. Aditya would come in this pre-recorded clip in every episode and gives the break down of the #s. So if this news is correct that Pakistan was not allowed to give SMS votes, then I think its not fair as you're talking about a country with millions of votes in there.. Why is it that the international countries like Canada, U.S, U.K etc got a chance to affect the result but a country from where one of the 3 contestants hails from was not given that opportunity? Baffles my mind.. I mean, what's done is done but this just aint right.. *sighs*

Public voting is generally not fair. And we are also assuming Pakistan will vote for Amanat and not Raja or Aneek. But the fact that even Raja lost to Aneek shows that even if the votes has come through there is no guarantee that Amanat or Raja could have won. Unless of coure the votes were manipulated. Well this is something to look at for the future. But Zee has already given all 3 very good exposure and platform for which we should be thankful. Not everything is perfect but there is some good. 😆

Why are you all blaming the channel. It is a known fact that SMS and calls from accross the border are under scrutiny. With all the cross border terrorism issue which we Indians have been facing. Just day before a blast at Ajmer Shariff and yesterday a blast at Ludiana. Several bomb blasts in mumbai.
It has been years since the SMS and calls from Pakistan and Bangladesh have been routing through Cent. Intelligence Bureau. My father was Gm of VSNL and so I am saying this with confidence. National security is of more importance than some reality contest. With lacs of SMS pouring in, it is difficult to monitor.
So those who are trying to make this sound like a conspiracy theory should go and question the govt of the two nations and ask as to why the SMS and Calls are monitored and restricted. Do not blame the channel as its not in their hands. Just to clarify.
Plus why bring this up only at the time of final. Amanat got to the finals because of the same voting pattern and beat many Indian contestants fair n square so why complaint now? Be sporting and accept the decision. All are great singers and each will make a name for themselves.

Ok ppl I'd just like to let you guys know that Zee TV is only shown in a
couple of areas in Pakistan and that too not officially. It's not shown in
Islamabad the capital nor is it shown in Lahore. Two main cities in the
country. I don't know if votes were allowed or not but don't you think if ppl
watched the show then voting would have been at a larger scale there
weather it's online or sms. I'm sure his family did as much campaigning as
they could but ppl wouldn't have voted for him if they didn't know who he
was or what he was doing. I don't mean to offend anyone with what I'm
saying and I'm 100% sure abt the Zee TV thing.

If any oversees participant comes to participate, they surely know the rules ahead of time.
It was not like this was a surprise thrown at them at the last moment.
Having said that, every participant, be it Mauli or Amanat came knowing that they would face tough competition from the local. Making this an issue now does not sound right.
Every participant who have come here have benifitted from this platform. And that is why they were here. No one is on a samaj-seva mission here.

This shows your biased mind frame. Fact that you cannot appreciate good things that happened to Amanat but constantly shout foul shows your petty nature.

everyone just stop attacking one another... the show is over and yes everyone has complains but by attacking each other and each others countries isnt gonna fix anything... they arent gonna change the winner of the show just coz ppl think he wasnt the one who deserved it. im a huge amanat fan... and yes i think its unfair that pakistan votes werent counted etc etc. but whats done is done and we just have to accept it. all three of them were amazing singers... which is why they were in the top 3... which means they were all deserving, its just unfortunate that only one could take the title of the "Winner".
