Darbar back to Sa Re Ga Ma Pa: Is it a publicity stunt?
Ismail Darbar walks out of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in a huff. A couple of days later, he returns to the show. Both instances grab audience and reader attention. Aadesh Srivastava stages a walk-out, again from Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, after an on-camera spat with a fellow judge. Judges Ila Arun and Javed Akhtar of Fame Gurukul display a show of temper. Are these real fights or simply reality show sound bytes? Are viewers being taken for a ride as reality shows continue to make headlines, and so up their TRPs, through well-publicised jhagdas? We let our readers decide…

In a swift reversal of decision, Ismail Darbar has agreed to return to Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge. Only a couple of days ago he had stormed out of the sets of the show, on-camera, when his favourite candidate Nihira Joshi was eliminated from the final rounds.
Darbar claims he felt suffocated by the goings-on in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge. “My heart is broken. I left Mumbai and came home to Surat," he says. "However, for the sake of the show, I’ve decided to return.”
Speaking from Surat, he adds, “I’m very upset by the public’s decision to oust Nihira. Everyone knows how well she sings. I feel there’s a conspiracy afoot to eliminate my other candidate Debojit Saha too. The other judges have deliberately given him less marks on this week’s episode. Can’t people recognise quality when they hear it? Just because Nihira can’t wear revealing clothes or dance, should she be eliminated? Is that how we have ever judged our greatest singers, like Lataji?”
Darbar claims that he doesn’t favouring only his own disciples on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge. “Himani and Vinit aren’t my students. But I’ve always praised them whole-heartedly,” he argues. “Vinit sang a difficult line from ‘Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya’ to perfection, and I said so.”
Meanwhile producer-director Gajendra Singh is happy to have Darbar back. “When Ismailji walked out, I thought the show would collapse,” he says.

I think it is a publicity stunt. Judges on most game shows create scenes only to attract public attention. If they really believe in something strongly, then it does make sense to stand up for it. But as far as the recent Challenge controversy, I think Ismail Darbar should be chucked out of the show.

I feel that there is some truth to these walk-ins and walk-outs. Artistes are known to be highly emotional, making small things affect them immensely. Instead of reacting violently, they simply choose to walk out as we see in these shows.

It is a complete publicity gimmick. Celebrity judges create controversies on the show only to promote themselves and their shows. What they do not realise is that such scenes only tarnish their image and that of the show too.
Sulbha sawant
Darbar suffers from a phenomenon called ‘attention crisis’. This is not the first time he has raised a hue and cry in the show. I think such incidents create an unconducive and bad creative atmosphere.Sa Re Ga Ma should get rid of him.
Nina Parab
It is very shameful on part of the celebrity judges to throw tantrums. By doing so, they demoralise the contestants, who look upto them as role models.
