TB article-Anu Mallik partial to Ragini

This is a sheer case of 'old wine, new bottle.' Fingers are being pointed yet again on Music Director and Zee TV's Star Ya Rockstar judge Anu Malik for not being fair and justifying his statements. Since the last few weeks, Anu has been giving high scores to actressRagini Khanna when other contestants performed much better.

An eye witness present on the set informs, "Anu seems to have a strong bias towards actor Ragini Khanna. It is evidently seen by one and all present on the sets that her closest competitor Chhavi Mittal is clearly a superior vocalist. Despite this, week after weeks, viewers will recall that Chhavi's fantastic performances have only earned her modest scores while Ragini's mediocre renditions of relatively easier tunes have won her gushy, rave reviews and top scores."

So what does Ragini feel about this issue? "Frankly speaking no one can challenge Anuji's comments as the man has spent most of his life in music. I am glad that he likes my performance. Someone likes and someone dislikes it. It is their own point of view." She further reveals the core of this controversy. "I know this issue rose because Manish Paul, Manasi Parekh and few others have commented that Chhavi and Manasi performed better than me but could not garner the marks which I have gained," claims Ragini.

Well Chhavi, you certainly have our sympathies but what we still can't figure is the reason behind Anu's growing fondness for the effervescent, charming actress...
