Karan Oberoi quits Titan Antakshari
Thursday, May 24, 2007
'Titan Antakshari' host Karan Oberoi alleges that Zee TV is neglecting the show and so he has decided to quit. Now he is busy with live shows and scoring the background music of a fulm. We recently talked to him to find out the truth behind his quitting 'Titan Antakshari'. Here is the excerpt.
There
are
rumours
that
you
have
decided
to
quit
the
show
"Titan
Antakshri".
Please
say
something
about
it?
Yes,
I
have
decided
to
quit
the
show
because
I
have
felt
that
"Titan
Antakshri" is
being
neglected
by
Zee
TV.
In
this
show,
I
have
shot
for
5-6
hours
for
every
episode
as
a
host,
but
when
I
saw
the
episode
it
was
shocking
for
me.
They
had
removed
my
dancing
and
singing
scenes.
It
is
a
musical
show,
how
can
any
one
do
like
this.
I
have
talked
to
the
editor
about
it,
but
there
was
no
result
from
the
conversation.
They
said
that
it
is
a
20-25
minute
show
and
that's
why
we
had
to
remove
those
scenes.
I
have
also
tried
a
lot
to
talk
to
the
creative
head
Payal
Patel,
but
she
always
ignores
me
saying
'I
am
very
much
busy
with
"Sa
Re
Ga
Ma
Pa",
so
talk
to
me
later.'
I
have
become
fed
up
because
of
this
attitude.
The
TRP
of
this
show
is
high
because
the
whole
team
is
working
hard
for
its
popularity.
We
have
given
our
100%
to
this
show.
This
is
a
fact
that
I
have
never
worked
only
for
money.
Money
is
not
a
motivation
for
me.
Zee
T.V.
is
ignoring
my
talent
and
labour.
Are
you
hosting
any
other
T.V.
show?
No,
I
am
not
hosting
any
T.V.
show.
I
am
doing
some
live
shows
in
New
Delhi.
I
like
to
do
live
shows
Are
you
doing
any
T.V
serial
now?
No.
Earlier
you
had
done
T
V.
serials.
What
happened
now?
That
was
a
different
time
when
I
had
done
T
V.
serials.
But
nowadays,
good
serials
are
not
being
made.
Are
you
interested
in
direction?
Not
in
direction,
but
I
am
interested
in
production.
I
am
planning
to
produce
9-10
serials.
However,
it
is
not
in
final
stage.
Say
some
thing
about
Band
Of
Boys?
Band
Of
Boys
has
decided
to
work
with
Nexus.
We
will
do
some
shows
together.
We
are
doing
fusion
experiment.
Are
you
interested
in
films?
There
is
a
film
titles
68
Panne.
We
are
committed
for
the
sound
track
of
this
movie.
Is
Mona
Singh
working
for
your
album?
Yes,
she
is
featuring
in
it.
How
long
to
get
married?
It
has
been
waiting
for
long.
I
am
not
feeling
comfortable
answering
this
question.
