Breaking News: Vishal Dadlani admits: "They Cheated."

Posted in Mentors, Other singers, SaReGaMaPa, Raja Hasan on October 19th, 2007 | 107 Comments

Thanks to an alert regular on this blog, we now have the first reaction from Raja Hasan's mentor Vishal Dadlani on the entire rigging and fixing issue by Zee TV and Saregampa.

In an Orkut scrap conversation, a user Smiti asked Vishal the below:

Hi Vishal ji, When will we see you and Shekhar Ji again on TV?…I was so sad when Raja lost infact I cried a lot , but am so happy that he has got good mentors like you plz send my wishes to Raja as well .

Vishal, using his official Orkut profile, in turn responded with the following one-liner:

Yeah, they cheated, but I still feel like we won!

This is obviously big news, as it comes from a composer duo who have been extremely diplomatic on the show.

Now, why did Vishal really go on to make these comments which he knew would be open to the entire world to view? Is this an info leak that has been meticulously planned?

In all this is the third person from the Saregamapa show who has now spoken out against the fixing by Zee which was managed by Ashish Kaul personally. First, it was Ismail Darbar, whose comments have been well documented. Next, it was Mussarat Abbas himself, who did admit the same in a telephonic conversationto Padma. And Now Vishal himself.

More proof, guys, more proof. Who's next in line to speak out the truth?

Thanks Shady, I belive you glad you have posted the link and internally there is lot of problems going on with ZEE management as we speak that what my source told me. One problem still not solved that why the result was out hours before the show. Great post.

I know zee cheated. How unfair? Someone working in zee has said that Raja was ahead by 3 crore votes but they chose Aneek as winner. Someone had written this on rajahasan.com blog that her friend who works at zee has told her this.

Also I read in one article posted here on IF that Raja the maximum vote earner surprisingly lost to Aneek. Zee's cheating is out everywhere and they are exposed. Thank God now I won't vote ever again. They are simply money minded people who just loot innocent people's money.

Vishal and Shekar and Raja are the true winners!

But why would Zee like to rig results? This puzzles me. I mean how does it matter to them who wins? Whether Raja won or Aneek, all they had to do was to declare the winner. How can Zee have a vested interest in choosing a particular winner? Unless this part becomes clear to me, I cannot speculate.

yeah the whole show was rigged, not just the final result.

man simply put bengalis support each other and they make their participants winners.

I am happy aneek won but i have a feeling that vishal, ID etc won't be giving much offers to aneek becasue they are jealous of him. Even if srgmp is rigged then it is not aneek's fault yet it will effect him in long term.

Aneek is an excellent singer...no doubt at all! But HR, many doubts on that. For some odd reason I get this feeling HR manipulated the whole show results. He seems like he would do that. Who agrees?

I think you may be right😕

Just now i had a chat with Vishal...his version - that msg may not by him. also time to time his orkut account has been hacked....so maybe again it has happened. i also hv the audio rec of his msg which was done on his insistance. I'll be soon posting that in the section. with that he has made statements regd Aneek's victory too and how zee has been 100% transparent with the results and votes. that part will come out on telly buzz hopefully by today.But definite proof that this msg is false and not made by Vishal will be posted here soon. 😊

give me few minutes to upload the audio and post it here in the section.

thanks man i hope u post it.

I see Raja fans are good in hacking too!!! LOL

Yet hacking also couldn't make him winner

Well Zee may not have a interest in making Aneek win, but Himesh did - and Zee may have a interest in keeping Himesh happy. To me, it's more about Himesh than Aneek.

Again, that's just the motive. It doesn't necessarily mean that they did manipulate the results - we'll never know for sure.
