Who Got Eliminated From Indian Idol 16 Today?

In a major development, Amritha Rajan got evicted from Indian Idol season 16 on Sunday (March 29). The decision left the audience shocked as only Shreya Ghoshal was present when she was eliminated.

While her fans expected Amritha's elimination as she was not getting the required screen space, the viewers are in shock.

One user had commented on Amritha's video, "Indian Idol tried its best in yesterday's episode ti showcase Amritha Rajan in All possible ways but it didn't look real, it was so much scripted that the entire episode looked fake. A mention of Amritha's online popularity was also mentioned, the makers and the judges along with the fellow contestants tried to cover-up, but it really fell flat on their faces. It will not be surprising if Amritha Rajan gets eliminated in today's episode but it will surely leave a scar of shame for Indian Idol, although it truly doesn't matter for them. Firstly, why were both Vishal Dadlani and Badshah absent at this crucial moment of judging??? How can the elimination be done based on only one judge's score? Doesn't it raise questions on being biased and one-sided judgment? This will be most unethical if anyone is eliminated today based on just one judge's scores. And most importantly, if Amritha Rajan gets eliminated then it will prove the hidden agenda and strategy that the makers of Indian Idol, the judges and the fellow contestants have been trying to play for quite some time (sic)."

One user commented, "Your victories felt personal, and your elimination feels personal too. Yet, your zeal and vigor remain deeply inspiring. You truly are a free-spirited bird, fearless and full of passion. I returned to watching Indian Idol after Season 1 just for you, and now you have a cheerleader for life. Keep shining, keep believing. God bless you. You are destined to soar high. The sky is truly the limit for you, Amritha (sic)."

"Your elimination felt personal to all of us. Truly a biased decision, but remember - the public's love is the biggest award! Aapki voice mein jaadu hai aur hum hamesha aapke saath hain. Stay fearless, stay original! The sky is the limit (sic)," another wrote.
