On the contrary a cheap response by Ismail. It was he who responded to the results in a certain manner. As far as Money goes, lets face it that ID also got lot of money from Zee for 2 years for SRGMP and he owes a lot to the show as it was the only source of earning for him. It is a case of biting the hand that feeds you or as in hindi they say - jis thaali main khaya..... Infact it was Zee which was giving him a chance to promote his garba that too for free ! As add on Zee on primetime is in 20K range per 10 sec. ID was speaking & promoting garba on primetime for free and got others to promote it too.
Why will Zee send Mauli (who is huge in Gujarat) and Aneek (the winner) to a Garba which had ID behind it ? ID should realise that voting system cannot be changed as per his liking. So Debojit wining in fair and Aneek wining is not ! I am happy Zee did not send these 2 to the garba. The corporate is a symbiotic world and not parasitic. ID sucks Zee dry for cheap publicity and Zee still bends backwards by sending their contracted singers - No WAY !

First of all, as far as ID's comments go, he never said regional voting was unfair. He just said vote count was rigged, cuz even by regional voting Raja was always leading. So he simply asked for a recount by an independent party. Debojit's issue doesn't even come here because there wasn't any doubt about his win.
In any case, whatever ID said or did doesn't allow Zee to breach their contract with the Destiny Fun Club, who are separate from ID. He doesn't own the club or the rights to the garba. In fact, they'd only signed a deal with ID just like they did with Zee. So Zee has to answer to them, not ID.
Also, Zee never does anything for free. They only know one thing - making money. They were paid 10 lakhs by the club, and this promotion on the show was part of the deal. So ID didn't suck Zee dry for free. In fact, it's Zee who sucks all their contestants dry by making crores off them and giving them barely anything out of that. If I remember right, they didn't even give Debo his promised flat for a long time (I doubt they even have).
