She's had enough!
Alka Yagnik quits Voice of India. She can't bear the unpleasantness and the 'chillum-chilli' that comes with being judge on a music reality show
Alka Yagnik has decided to quit Voice of India to avoid the unpleasantness that comes with being a judge on a reality singing contest. She co-judged the show along with four other judges, Abhijit, Jatin Pandit, Lalit Pandit and Adesh Shrivastav.A source says, "Aadesh, Jatin and Lalit were of the opinion that singers today do not have the range of yesteryear's maestros. This also mars music directors' creativity. Alka and Abhijeet however were of the opinion that the music directors today do not have the talent that the people in the golden era had. This led to an unpleasant debate. Alka felt that the music directors were being unfair."
An exasperated Alka says, "Unfortunate as it may be, I have decided to quit. There is too much heat there, the arguments and the noise only gets uglier. Everybody forever is trying to prove their point."
"I don't want to name any particular name but I have really had it. Healthy arguments are welcome but I feel people should not have crossed the line. People have started disrespecting each other. The friendships I have maintained over years are more important than a TV show and some money. Koi majburi nahin hai. I was excited about grooming new talent but this is too distasteful. I'd rather save my relationship with people rather than witnessing so much chillum-chilli," Alka adds.
How have the makers of the show taken to her decision to quit? She says, "I am quitting gracefully without any hard feelings. The makers are upset about it and have been requesting me not to do it but I must quit. In real life, I have been a fighter but this is something I can't handle."
The show will definitely miss Alka as she is the most popular judge on the show. "It's unfortunate as we had some talented contestants, but I cannot judge participants at the cost of my dignity," Alka says.
