Judges always first encourage with good points and then point out mistakes, but this has been a long drag, sometimes they let it go, like you said kids have to improve, what they are presenting now is more of a natural talent. Some kids have spend more time singing and some have less, same goes with training.

Some kids need more encouragement and help than others, it is not based on who deserves more praise, as they are trying to build a team. This is my view. Regards.

Amey, wasting one acad year is not a correct description Arya won a scholarship – a coveted one. And after all , while entering a contest it is the decision that parents make for kids in view of their future/ career- so I am sure they have done things thoughfully with full regard to her career.

Once again people – Maharashtrians, support talent not reginalism) – I call upon the real puneris and fellow maharashtrians to ignore lopsided campaigns and trust their hearts – pt Bhimsen Joshi himself admits he got more fame in Maharashtra than he did in his homeland. Thats the way we are and that’s the way to be.

In my opinion, Shankar Mahadevan was the best judge- he gave the performance awards to all 5! This decision should be upheld and I am sure all voters want it that way. No amount of campaign for a single candidate is likely to work .

Best of luck Arya.

Look at the excerpt from your own post – you have stopped at nothing while suspecting that her fans are spending money!! someone is hacking the voting system and have suggested that Zee should “find this out” and so on… these are pretty serious allegations, looks like a skewed thought process of yours- if your favorite cannot get votes, no one else can possibly get genuine votes, wake up

you have said ( copy pasted from your post) :

“That’s amazing but my suspicious mind does not stop me from thinking. Mugdha is definitely good and for her age, she is giving everyone much older than her a tough fight. I heard she is not as young as she looks. So how is she managing to get so many votes?

There is a good possibility that she has some admirers who are spending lot of money. She seems to be coming from typical middle class Marathi family like you and me. So her family may not be doing all this. They all are good people. But the other possibility is that someone know how to hack the online voting system and is sending votes to Mugdha free of cost. Does Zee Marathi has will or wherewithal to find this out? “

Support Arya for what she is ! and not because she is “so called” Punekar.

U will appreciate that Only Punekar;s can not make her win.. its our votes also that matters. Dont create a regional rift …

I did not understand this comment above by Hemant – - ‘judges getting paid to promote kartiki sounds wierd’- and definitely unfounded unless some supporting evidence is provided elsewhere.

I think- from the comments of the judges yesterday- we will not have any single champ as a winner. Just as they modified rules to send all 5, we are likely to see some interesting decisions and that would be nice- I keep my fingers crossed for ALL 5 and NOT JUST ARYA. I sorely miss Shalamali though…

Puneri lokani talent jithe asel tithe acknowledge kele pahije, feverish and hyper campaign karu naka.Tyacha ulta parinam vhayachi shakyata jasta ahe.

You have a sly way of mud slinging at Mugdha by sounding as though you are patronizing her as- “too tired, too little” – she is quite a bundle of spirit and energy AND a match for everyone- Arya included! Also your criticisms of kartiki only go on to show you have some personal bias against rural folks making it big on such platforms- (Alandi is pretty much ‘affiliated’ to Pune if that matters so much:-))

less important and on a a lighter note: hemant please do not conclude that ‘fanfare’ is a woman/ girl. (” One of the readers, fanfare, is claiming that she is pure blue blooded Punekar and she is appealing all to vote for merit.”) There is nothing in my comments so far that indicates so.
