Participant's vulgar antics halt recording
Subhash K Jha
Reality television turned a crass corner at the recording for Ek Main Aur Ek Tu this week. Vishwanath, a participant from Ahmedabad brought the recording to a grinding halt when he made a crass and vulgar comment about his singing partner Raktima.
Talking about the incident during Monday's recording producer-director Gajendra Singh says, "Vishwanath's vulgar remark about his partner stumped us all. To the girl's credit she kept her peace on camera and blasted Vishwanath later. One of our judges Hariharan got up and rushed to hit the boy, and rightly so. We had to stop him. Our guest-judge Alka Yagnikji was left speechless."
Apparently Vishwanath's comment was a result of professional jealousy. "There's another contestant Biswas from Allahabad who does sher-o-shayari on every episode. To be one-up on Biswas, Vishwanath decided to pass this crude comment. He did not anticipate such dire repercussions. Ever since the event, Vishwanath has been crying and begging everyonefor forgiveness."
