Abhijeet Bhattacharya 

First of all let me say yesterdays argument between Raja Jassi and Abhijeet was not scripted at all.Offcourse it was edited by the channel since it was a long argument on the sets which continued almost for an hour.

We have never seen Raja Hasan in this mood ever before in last one year and we always know that Raja Hasan is a very cool person but this time around Raja and Jassi were very much hurt when it was shown on the AV where Abhijeet said that Raja and Jassi should be the first pair to be eliminated.

I already wrote about it a day before that Abhijeet is not giving Raja and Jaswir what they deserved.Raja and Jaswir has given so many mindblowing performances on the show but never got the praise and marks they deserved and this effects their career for sure.

Raja and Jassi are working hard for giving such mindblowing performances and mind it they are on national tv and if they get the deserved comments and marks their status would have been raised but Abhijeet openly supporting Kushal Sanchita and Aneek and Sayantani deprives Raja and Jaswir.

Finally Abhijeet accepted that Kushaal and Sanchita are his favourites. Come on Abhijeet da you are on a Judges chair and you cannot favour any particular contestant and go on praising him or her and give undeserved marks. In fact you are communally biased and you are not fit to judge a reality show and we hope that no channel invites you again to judge any show.

On the other hand Ahmed as a Judge has proved himself always right and he watches each and every performance minutely and is always up to the point in his marks and comments so I would congratulate him for being unbiased and perfect.

 Raja and Jaswir

After yesterdays argument with Abhijeet Bhattacharya it seems that all music lovers are standing in support of Raja and Jaswir Kaur.Discussion is going on on net in different forums. I present here  some comments made by music lovers all accross the net which explains how much support Raja and Jaswir has:

1) I am totally with Raja and jaasi! How many times did Sanchita get a 10 or 9 or 8?? Many times. yes she is ver very talented. And it’s wrong to compare a male singer with female but Is Raja that bad?? Even after a standing ovation or great great comment he ends up getting lower than others. Is he that bad??? That bad that Abhijeet gave him one point extra and it was still low??

it’s like this

 ” Sanchita this was not your best performance. You could’ve done this, could’ve done that. your mark is 7″

 ” Raja god gave you that voice! it’s gift! You sing with soul….etc etc! You get a 7″

I don’t think Raja was disrespectful at all. On the other hand Abhijeet was disrespectful.People who have no respect for others don’t deserve respect. He was down right insulting. He doesn’t want contestants to voice their opinion. He even asked who is he? Hello who do you think you are? Yes you are a good singer. Look around you the industry is filled with them.Your days are over! No wonder you are jobless. Atleast do this job as a judge right. I am pretty sure if there was a concert of Raja and Abhijeet going on Raja would have more of a audience. So YES he has fans abhijeet . I think even Ahmed finds him wrong but doesn’t want to say anything to show respect.

And wow Raja and Jassi got the highest score today. Big deal the judges didn’t do them any kind of favor. It was so clear they were better than the other 2 teams. They should’ve gotten a better score. It’s not that they did superb but they did 100 times better than the other 2 jodis.

Kushal had no dancing going on. Sanchita had no true singing going on.

Meenal did good, counting the appearance out which didn’t go with the song at all she did very good. The theme was bad. instead of fusion it looked liked they didn’t know what song goes with what move?

That brings it back to Raja and Jassi who weren’t superb but they had no major flaws like the other 2 couple! So either other jodis deserved lower mark or they deserved a little higher.

And kudos to Abhijeet. It must take lots of courage to be one of the most hated judge in india right now. You make Himesh look like a saint. Beat him in emotional drama and partialty.

I can’t wait to their mark on jassi’s 2nd dance. It was sooo graceful. I didn’t like the outfit but she was soo amazingly graceful. If she doesn’t get a high score I would be mad. I know if Sayantani did the same dance they would’ve given her a good mark.

No offense to anyone!

2) Abhijit doesn’t THINK before he says something and then he doesn’t even regret it later on when he KNOWS he is wrong! 

 I was shocked when he said to Raja that he’d regret what he said after saying his marks. Okay, if Raja did ARGUE than necessary, maybe, but did Abhijit have to CARRY ON? being an adult he could’ve nigotitated well, but he didn’t. And now I believe he does’t know HOW TO! (no offense to abihjit fans)

 He knows he favours Sanchita, but he just won’t say it! He said that he has a fav. every week… but that’s not what it seems like. Sanchita preformed bad but she has never recieved any bad marks. Bad comments, but high marks. It’s like a total diff. thing. Marks are great comments turn our bad or the other way round

 I’m glad there was no drama in the end when the marks were revealed though!

 3) I totally agree with you, what Abhijeet was WRONG. Being the “mature and wiser” guy he should have controlled himself and ended this arguement not continued it…I mean asking Raja who he thinks he is….wtfff man is it wrong to question the judges they aren’t God! Just b/c Raja spoke up doesn’t mean he’s wrong I also noticed how Abhijeet wasn’t fair to him…Raja would always (or usually) get good comments yet he’d always get like 7/8 points. and WTF is up with Abhijeet and Sanchita…damn she may be a good singer but she’s not hte best on the show even when she wasn’t all that great he’d give out 9’s and 10’s to her in like every episode I totally think that is unfair and I disagree with his judging skills. It’s so obvious he favors Sanchita and gives her points like giving out free candy on Halloween!!! Abhijeet doesn’t know what the heck he is doing, he doesn’t have the right to judge this show I am so sick of him…why didn’t he get fired earliar after what he did with Mussarat? This guy has no manners whatsoever!!!

 Enough Saiddd…

 4) I hope raja and kajri wins this competition. they proposedly thrown the contisntantly great singing and dancing pair aneek and naagin out so they can keep their favourites.i cant see abhisek minal or sanchita kushal have same usp as raja kajri. judge wise abhijit is disgusting. i think it is not abhijits fault it is zee tvs fault because they appoint a useless disgusting  judge, well done raja!!!

  5) I am so happy that my meenal is not a part of this show now…there is hardly any transparency in the show….everybody is confused….favourotism is ruling…performance is the last thing in consideration…hatts off to RAJA n JASSI whose comments who dared to open their mouth against injustice and favourtism….and so ridiculous and hurting to see that abhijeet himself accepting that he has been favouring sanchita…wat else remain to say…may god bless him

6)  Thumbs Down to Abhijeet, could he get any lower?  

I can go on and on bashing him…this man OMG I have no words…

How obvious can it get that he’s favoring Sanchita…

 I won’t even be surprised if Kushal & Sanchita win this…

 I mean Kushal is a damn good dancer but I’m getting sick of Sanchita’s AVERAGE singing!

 I wish Aneek & Sayantani were still on this show and in the finals…

 *Sigh*

Reesha and Rithisha`s mom

Rithisha gave a decent performance on the song Chal Chal from the movie Astitva.She introduced new improvisation in the song and Sukhwinder and other Judges and Guests loved it.

Here is the video for you:

Abhijeet Bhattacharya 

It seems Abhijeet Bhattacharya judges reality shows on the basis of region , caste and religion.He created a fiasco when Mussarat came on the show but finally backtracked from his stand.

He has continuously given very high marks to Sanchita even when she did not sang well. He always goes out of the way to praise Sanchita and Sanchita belongs to Kolkata.

Raja and Jaswir who are giving mindblowing performances one after another but they never get good comments and marks from Abhijeet.

In last weeks show Abhijeet even crossed his limits in supporting Sanchita and Aneek.In the clipping showed in the show he says that Raja Hasan and Jaswir are the weakest couple and should be eliminated first.

Here is the video of what Abhijeet said:

Come on Abhijeet  da the whole world is watching your judgement and how come you can say that Sanchita and Meenal are better singers then Raja Hasan.Jaswir is also a great dancer. It was too mean of you to comment like that. In fact Judge Ahmed was wise to refuse to comment on the matter. Raja Hasan has been recognised as a good singer by big music directors and Sanchita and Aneek has nothing to their credit.

Abhijeet Da aankhen kholo regional and religion bias se bahar niklo aur saari duniya aapko dekh rahi hai. Aap judge ki kursi pe ho wahan to beimaani mat karo.You are depriving Raja and Jaswir from what they should get and you are not doing justice to the chair on which you are sitting.

Zee’s Ek Se Badhkar Ek has reached its final stages and this week’s elimination will give the contest its final two jodis.

And giving us information on the elimination is our well-placed source who says, “This week will see the Wild-Card jodi of Abhishek Awasthi and Meenal Jain bowing out in spite of giving their best performance”.

The 3 jodis in addition to their solo performances had to deliver a duet performance too in this penultimate episode. According to our source, “Abhishek and Meenal performed really well in the Jodi round and got 28 points, while Jasveer-Raja led the table with 29 and Kushal-Sanchita trailing back with 25”. After this, were the solo performances wherein Abhishek and Kushal fared almost equally and performance-wise Meenal was better than Sanchita.

The twist in the tale this week was that there was no elimination as such, but the judges had to choose the top 2 Jodis out of the three left. “Ahmed Khan and Abhijeet Bhattacharya decided to go with Kushal-Sanchita and Jasveer-Raja, thus bringing the curtains down for the talented pair of Abhishek and Meenal”.

It will be Jasveer and Raja V/s Kushal and Sanchita in the Finale of Ek Se Badhkar Ek – Jalwe Sitaron Ke….
