New Delhi: In a shocking incident, legendary singer and actor Kishore Kumar’s son has exposed the makers of Indian Idol.
This comes after the Indian Idol 12 contestants and judges paid tributes to Kishore Kumar.
Amit Kumar agreed with the netizens and said he also wanted to stop the episodes midway. Like the viewers, he too didn’t enjoy how the creators of the show decided to pay tribute to his father.
In last week’s episode of Sony TV’s singing reality show, Indian Idol 12, the contestants and judges sang over 100 songs of the singer over the two episodes, and the makers also invited his son and singer-composer Amit Kumar as a special guest.
Netzines got upset with the way the tribute was paid, Many complained that the contestants and the judges of the show, Neha Kakkar, Himesh Reshammiya and Anu Malik, ruined Kishore Kumar’s songs.
In a recent interview with The Times of India, Kumar was asked about his views about the episode and he replied, “Frankly, I wanted to stop the episode,” adding that he was asked to praise every contestant irrespective of how they perform. “I did what I was told. I was told sabko praise kamana hai. I was told jo jaisa bhi gaaye usko uplift karna hai because it’s a tribute to Kishore da. I thought it will be a homage to my father. But once there, I just followed what I was asked to do. I had told them to give me portions of the script in advance, but nothing of that sort happened,” Kumar said.
