Pritam Ko Gussa Kyu Aaya?

eality shows, super sensationalized AV's on participants, dramatic overkills and walkouts all go hand in hand. It gets very hard to say when an incident is scripted and when not! The shoot for this week's episode saw a shocking incident on the sets of SVOI which made one of the judges - Pritam Chakraborty, stage a walk out in protest. Telly Buzz decided to catch up with Pritam to get to know all about the incident..

When we inquired as to what exactly had happened, Pritam explained, "What happened was very bad. Suddenly this girl from the audience comes down and kisses Emraan Hashmi. The worst part was that, Emraan was my guest. He had come for the promotion of my album. Even he was bit shaken with the incident and that's very natural too."

But how could the girl breach the security, reach Emraan and indulge in such a bold act is the biggest question Pritam wants to ask the Production house. And on asking if the whole fiasco was scripted he firmly states, "I don't want to get into that, but if this whole act was scripted, then it was a far worse situation and totally disgusting. I cannot fathom why such dramas would be required to promote a talent hunt show." He was quite vocal about his displeasure on the whole fiasco. "This is a show for kids and such things should not have been allowed to happen. When Mika Singh goes and kisses Raakhi, I am least bothered. But when there are kids around, some basic aesthetics and decorum needs to be maintained," is what the Music Director and Judge of the show had to convey to all.

He justified his walkout saying, "Yes I made a walk out because I was very annoyed. That girl after all this goes and sits down as if nothing had happened. I told the show producers to throw her out and only after that, I joined again". But with all this, he is also quite miffed with the production house for promoting this incident. "The whole incident is finally a disgrace to the show. Why advertise such a thing? It's more disgusting this way," says an annoyed Pritam.

Yes, indeed it is sad that a kid's show had to witness such a shocking incident. Whether all this was staged or was an impulsive act by a crazy fan, only the show producer and his crew can tell.

Abhaas is also amazed at the response for the concert. “I was shocked seeing the craze for bollywood music there and was glad I could make a mark for my self. It was hard for it to sink in that I am internationally known as well. It's going to be one experience I can never forget. It was truly a touching moment for me", adds the young talent.

When quizzed about his future ventures he said, “Other than hosting Chhote Ustaad, I am coming out with an album with my elder brother, for Polio infected kids, called - Bawara Fakir. Whatever funds we get for the album, we'll donate it to the kids. It's a composition of various Bhajans. We've done this for a good cause and hope it works out”.

Chhote ustaad seeks baa's blessings

Sudha Shivpuri, popularly known as Baa of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was injured on the sets a month back. Thankfully the ever popular grandmother escaped with some minor bruises and a hairline fracture.

The Amul Star Voice of India Contestants paid a casual visit to Baa on Wednesday and prayed for her well-being and health. The kids told Baa how they are staying away from their home for more than three months now and meeting her is like meeting their own Nani. Some of them told her how their mothers cry and weep when they watch Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.

The kids told Baa about their schedules and their riyaaz and busy routine in Mumbai compared to their lives when they are in their city. Baa was chocked to hear the tiny tots' strenuous routine away from their homes. But also she was delighted that the kids from Gajendra's show visited her like this.

While leaving, the kids invited Baa to their Chhote Ustaad sets. Baa expressed her gratitude over the invitation and said she will definitely make a trip to their set in the coming weeks.
