Before
Bigg
Boss
14
and
Khatron
Ke
Khiladi
11,
Rahul
Vaidya
had
participated
in
a
singing
reality
show
Indian
Idol
1,
which
gave
him
recognition
as
a
singer.
Recently,
Rahul
shared
his
views
on
the
recent
controversies
of
the
reality
show.
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
Amit
Kumar's
statement
and
few
romantic
angles
(especially
of
Pawandeep
Rajan
and
Arunita
Kanjilal's)
had
grabbed
headlines.
When
Rahul
was
asked
about
the
same,
he
asked
what
the
big
deal
in
it
is!
About
Amit's
statement,
Rahul
told
ETimes
TV,
"I
am
not
aware
about
what
the
controversies
have
been
regarding
Indian
Idol
12.
I
really
don't
know
what
really
happens
now
on
the
show.
I
had
read
somewhere
that
one
of
the
guests
had
commented
that
he
was
asked
to
praise
the
contestants.
I
feel
all
the
singers
on
the
show
are
good
singers.
There's
no
denying
their
talent.
Eventually,
what
happens
at
the
end
of
the
day
the
show
is
made
from
an
entertainment
point
of
view.
The
show
is
made
to
make
people
hear
the
singers
but
it
also
has
an
entertainment
quotient
attached
to
it.
If
any
guest
judge
was
asked
to
praise
a
contestant
and
not
criticise
what
is
the
big
deal
in
that.
I
don't
know
why
people
are
making
such
a
big
fuss
about
it."
About
the
love
angles,
he
said
it
is
done
just
for
entertainment,
which
everyone
knows!
Regarding
the
same,
Rahul
said,
"I
also
heard
there
was
some
romantic
angle
going
on
in
the
show,
it
was
done
for
fun.
He
was
not
told
to
marry
the
contestant
at
a
gun
point.
Why
such
a
big
deal,
the
show
has
been
running
for
the
last
6-7
months,
and
this
is
done
just
for
entertainment.
The
show
will
soon
come
to
an
end
and
the
next
season
will
begin
and
there
will
be
new
contestants
and
the
story
will
move
forward.
I
don't
think
it
should
be
taken
so
seriously."
However,
he
said
that
during
his
season,
the
show
was
very
pure
and
simple.
Also,
he
added
that
Neha
Kakkar,
who
is
judge
now,
was
a
contestant
on
the
second
season,
and
she
too
would
agree
with
him.
But
today,
he
states
that
the
show
is
about
packaging!
Rahul
said
that
Indian
Idol
is
very
special
for
him
as
it
gave
him
recognition
in
life
as
a
singer,
and
the
show
will
always
remain
special
for
him.
He
added
that
he
did
the
show
when
he
was
17-year-old
and
he
would
love
to
be
a
part
of
the
show.
Rahul
concluded
by
saying,
"In
fact,
I
was
recently
asked
by
the
media
if
I
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
show
as
a
judge,
I
said
why
not?
It
would
be
a
great
journey
from
a
contestant
to
be
a
judge
on
the
show."
