While digging more on the controversies, Meiyang revealed: ‘I have heard that this season’s singers are very trained. These singers are very powerful.

It all started with Amit Kumar’s statement with ETimes. He said, “I did what I was told. I was told sabko praise karna hai. I was told jo jaisa bhi gaaye usko uplift karna hai because it’s a tribute to Kishore da. I thought it will be a homage to my father. But once there, I just followed what I was asked to do. I had told them to give me portions of the script in advance, but nothing of that sort happened.”

Amit Kumar had further said that at one point he even wanted to stop the Indian Idol 12 Kishore Kumar Special episode. He said that the next time the reality show wants to pay a tribute to his father, ‘they shouldn’t do it this way.’
