Mentors at war
Ila Arun and Anand Raaj Anand had an argument while on the sets of Junoon and are not seeing eye to eye since then. While Ila was sharing her thoughts about music presented on the show with the audience, she expressed that Sufi is a form of music through which you can connect to God. She also added that Folk is a form of music through which one can connect to their roots. Anand Raaj Anand (who is the mentor of the Bollywood genre) was listening to her silently. He interrupted and told her, "Ila you are forgetting that whatever you are today is because of Bollywood. If you are successful and popular, it is because of film music and Bollywood!". Ila was furious at the personal remark and told him, "I disagree with you! I was a folk singer even before I started singing film music. I was already renowned for the same and that's how I was offered to sing for films." She added that, "You are getting very personal. We are all here to present some good music. I would not like to get into these arguments with you. It's best if we concentrate on the show and not get into verbal fights like this! If this goes on, I would not like to be a part of the show!"
