Singer Sonu Nigam has reacted to the Indian Idol 12-Amit Kumar controversy, as the makers of the singing reality show are facing the heat. The show has been under the scanner ever since Anu Malik returned as a judge, and especially after the Kishore Kumar episode when netizens felt the contestants had “ruined” the legend’s numbers by singing “badly.” Kishore da`s son-singer Amit Kumar, who was the special guest on the show, had claimed in an interview a few weeks ago, that the makers of Indian Idol forced him to appreciate the performance of every participant, whereas he himself did not enjoy the episode.
Reacting to the row, Sonu Nigam, who has previously been part of the show as the judge, has shared a video and expressed his opinion on the same. Sonu shared that he has been following the controversy for quite some time but now he can`t bear it anymore. While he emphasised that no one can become Kishore Kumar and not everyone can do justice to his songs, he urged the makers and media to end the controversy and not take advantage of Amit Kumar`s silence.
