Sony
TV's
singing
reality
show,
Indian
Idol
12
has
been
infamous
for
its
alleged
fake
love
stories
between
the
contestants,
portrayal
of
their
financial
conditions
and
controversies
related
to
its
content.
Talking
about
the
love
stories,
the
show
has
been
getting
a
lot
of
TRPs
for
the
love
angles
between
contestants
Pawandeep
Rajan-Arunita
Kanjilal
and
Sayli
Kamble-Nihal
Tauro.
However,
several
reports
suggest
that
all
the
love
stories
are
fake
and
created
just
for
the
sake
of
viewership.
Well,
netizens
often
criticise
the
makers
of
Indian
Idol
12
for
using
such
content
to
make
numbers.
Recently,
a
source
close
to
the
channel
informed
Bollywood
Life
that
the
love
angles
are
going
a
little
overboard
as
they
are
not
in
a
real
romantic
relationship.
While
revealing
the
truth
behind
the
love
angles
between
Pawandeep
Rajan-Arunita
Kanjilal
and
Sayli
Kamble-Nihal
Tauro,
the
insider
from
the
sets
of
Indian
Idol
12
said,
"I
guess
the
programme
content
is
determined
by
the
kind
of
bond
they
see
off-sets
between
the
contestants.
Also,
some
fans
have
made
jodis
of
these
singers.
That
has
kind
of
prompted
these
ideas
from
the
content
team.
Also,
due
to
the
lockdown,
there
are
too
many
curbs
due
to
which
people
are
unable
to
experiment
with
new
ideas.
Seeing
that
such
content
is
working,
we
guess
that
it
is
being
encouraged.
However,
there
are
many
who
feel
that
the
programming
team
needs
to
answer
some
questions."
The
source
further
stated
that
the
content
team
is
considering
the
bond
between
the
contestants
to
make
a
show
more
watch-worthy.
He
added
that
everything
is
now
looking
too
over
the
top
on
TV,
but
everything
is
fair
in
the
game
of
TRPs.
Earlier,
Indian
Idol
12
was
slammed
by
netizens
for
evicting
talented
contestants
like
Sawai
Bhatt
and
Anjali
Gaikwad.
They
also
called
out
the
makers
for
favouring
Pawandeep
Rajan,
Shanmukhapriya
and
Mohd
Danish
in
the
show.
