Sunidhi Chauhan recently spoke about Indian Idol stating some issues with the show. earlier Abhijeet Sawant had spoken some controversial comments about the show. Quite recently when Kishore Kumar’s son Amit Kumar criticized the show saying judges falsely praise the contestants, Sunidhi Chauhan too came upfront about the issue.
The singer and former judge of the 5th and 6th season of the reality show said that all the judges were asked to mandatorily praise the contestants regardless of how they really feel about their performance. This format didn’t sit well with Chauhan and that’s why she chose to stray away from the popular show.
She told in her statement, “Not exactly this ki sabko karna hai but yes, we all were told to praise. That was the basic thing. And so, I couldn’t go on. I couldn’t do what they wanted and I had to part ways. Hence, today, I am not judging any reality show.”
According to her this praising tactic is to seek more attention and hold the audiences’ interest; she said, “I think it is done to seek attention. I think it is required to be done to hold your audience. Guess it works.”
Sunidhi further revealed that in previous seasons of ‘Indian Idol’, other singing shows such as ‘Dil Hai Hindustani’ and ‘The Voice’, she had the freedom to speak her mind and give the contestants constructive criticism instead of false praises.
