Vote Banks
As Sa Re Ga Ma Pa heads into a new season, there's lingering criticism of the voting-judging process that launched an sms war between supporters of Debojit in Assam and Vinit in Lucknow. ''This time the judging process will be a 60-40 spilt: 60 per cent based on public votes, 40 per cent from the judges,'' says the shows producer Gajendra Singh. ''The voting system was introduced to make it interactive and give the viewer the power to decide,'' adds Kaul, ''It's upto viewers. We won't change the rules of our business because some (contestants) don't feel good about it,'' states Zee's Kaul.
Says Star head Deepak Sehgal: ''These are early days for reality TV. Let things settle down and people realize the importance of each vote. Three years from now, I'm sure we'll have better things to say about reality talent hunts.''
