Indian
Idol
12
has
been
in
the
news
for
all
the
wrong
reasons.
Recently,
the
show
grabbed
headlines
after
Amit
Kumar,
son
of
legendary
singer
Kishore
Kumar,
had
alleged
that
he
was
asked
to
praise
the
contestants.
Several
celebrities
had
expressed
their
views
on
the
same
and
now,
popular
90s
singer
Abhijeet
Bhattacharya,
who
had
appeared
on
the
show
along
with
Udit
Narayan
shortly
after
a
controversy
erupted,
had
commented
on
it.
In
an
interview
with
PeepingMoon,
Abhijeet
preferred
to
give
Amit
the
benefit
of
doubt
and
implied
that
his
comments
were
misrepresented.
The
singer
said
that
the
controversy
was
blown
out
of
proportion
unnecessarily.
Abhijeet
was
quoted
by
the
entertainment
portal
as
saying,
"There
is
no
controversy.
I
spoke
to
Amit
Kumar
ji
after
the
incident.
Firstly,
he
didn't
say
the
statement
on
camera.
It
was
neither
a
video
nor
audio.
People
trusted
what
print
media
told
them.
It
was
blown
out
of
proportion
unnecessarily."
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
Amit,
in
an
interview
with
a
leading
daily
had
said
that
he
was
told
to
praise
everyone
and
to
uplift
everyone,
no
matter
how
they
sang,
as
it
was
a
tribute
to
Kishore
da.
His
statement
had
conflicted
reactions
from
the
industry.
Indian
Idol
host
Aditya
Narayan,
and
other
singers
like
Udit
Narayan,
Abhijeet
Sawant,
Sonu
Nigam,
Manoj
Muntashir,
Sunidhi
Chauhan
and
Kumar
Sanu
had
reacted
to
Amit's
comments.
While
some
felt
it
was
unfair
for
Amit
to
make
such
statements,
a
few
of
them
like
Sonu
took
Amit's
side.
Sonu
had
expressed
his
views
through
a
video
and
had
share
it
on
his
Instagram
account.
Abhijeet
had
commented,
"Well
said
Sonu.
I'm
coming
for
the
1st
time
on
@indian.idol2021
this
week
..
found
Super
talented
singers
there,
no
idea
what
Amit
ji
commented,
but
let
me
reveal
that
I
learned
a
lot
watching
his
performances,
he
is
one
of
the
greatest
showman..
love
and
respect
for
Amit
Dada."
