In
the
past
few
months,
many
reality
shows
were
trolled
for
allegedly
showing
fake
content
to
the
viewers.
Indian
Idol
12
was
criticized
for
showing
fake
love
angles
between
the
contestants,
elimination
of
deserving
participants,
fake
praises
and
portrayal
of
contestants'
poor
financial
condition.
A
few
months
ago,
legendary
singer
Kishore
Kumar's
son
Amit
Kumar
had
criticized
Indian
Idol
12
makers,
and
claimed
that
they
asked
him
to
praise
contestants
irrespective
of
his
views.
His
comment
about
the
show
indeed
wreaked
havoc
on
social
media.
And
now,
Indian
Idol's
former
judge
and
singer
Sonu
Nigam
was
asked
about
the
same.
In
an
interview
with
ETimes
TV,
the
'Dil
Deewana'
singer
said
that
unnecessary
praises
are
not
always
good
for
the
contestants.
He
said,
"As
a
judge,
we
are
here
to
teach
something
to
the
contestants.
We
should
give
honest
feedback
to
the
participants.
Always
praising
them
won't
do
any
good.
Humesha
wah
wah
karoge
toh
kaise
hoga
(how
will
it
work,
if
you
always
praise
them)?
We
aren't
here
to
spoil
these
kids.
Even
the
contestants
won't
understand
when
they
have
performed
well
and
when
they
haven't
if
we
keep
praising
them."
Sonu
Nigam
also
feels
that
making
mistakes
on
stage
is
natural
and
if
judges
are
letting
them
know
about
such
mistakes,
they
should
take
it
sportingly
and
work
on
the
same.
He
believes
that
some
contestants
are
born
talented
and
some
work
hard
and
learn.
Without
naming
any
show,
Sonu
Nigam
further
stated
that
he
would
not
be
seen
in
every
reality
show
and
it
is
his
conscious
decision
to
stay
away
from
a
few.
The
singer
will
be
judging
the
Bengali
singing-reality
show,
Super
Singer
Season
3.
He
said,
"You
won't
see
me
in
every
other
show.
There
are
reasons
for
which
I
say
yes
to
only
a
few
shows."
Talking
about
Sonu
Nigam's
career,
the
singer
has
sung
several
popular
songs
like
'Kal
Ho
Naa
Ho',
'Abhi
Saans
Lene
Ki
Fursat
Nahin
Hai',
'Sandese
Aate
Hai',
'Humein
Jab
Se
Mohabbat',
'Satrangi
Re',
'Mujhe
Raat
Din',
'Banke
Tera
Jogi',
'Tanhayee',
'Rehnaa
Hai
Tere
Dil
Mein'
and
so
on.
