Indian Idol 12 Host Aditya Reacts To Amit Kumar’s Claims; Says If He Wasn’t Happy, He Could’ve Told Them During Shoot

After netizens trolled Indian Idol 12’s tribute episode to Kishore Kumar and claimed that judges Himesh Reshammiya and Neha Kakkar ‘ruined’ his songs by singing them, the legend’s son Amit Kumar shared that he also did not enjoy the episode. The singer was the chief guest for the episode but in a recent interview he revealed that he was asked to give uplifting comments to the contestants. Amit ji also stated that he wanted to stop the episode mid way. Well, host Aditya Narayan has now reacted to the same and asked why the singer did not tell them all this while they were shooting.

In a chat with Spotboye, Aditya was quoted saying, “With all due respect to Amitji, it is never easy to honour the legacy of a legend in an hour or two. But we always try our level best to put on a great show especially given the circumstances. Due to the pandemic we were shooting in Daman with a limited team and crew, limited rehearsals, different set etc. Still week after week we are putting out fresh episodes where most other channels are playing re-runs of their content.”

Aditya went on to share that Amit ji has graced the show many times before and, like always, was lavish in his praise during this visit as well. He was also kind enough to share personal stories about the late legend, which were cherished by all. Aditya concluded, “If he wasn’t happy with certain aspects of the show he could have just told us during shoot and we would have been more than happy to try and accommodate his inputs.”
