Shashi gets the boot in Indian Idol

The only way the remaining talented singers on Indian Idol 5 can save themselves is by singing badly in the gala rounds because if one goes by Shashi Suman’s eviction this week, looks like viewers have scant respect for pure talent! Shashi is a former Sa Re Ga Ma Pa contestant and was equally stunned to hear the results like all the three judges. A source from the show says, "Shashi was in the bottom two along with Shivam Pathak and due to less public votes Shashi was eliminated. It was a surprising elimination for the judges. Meanwhile Sonam Kapoor and Imran Khan were present on the sets to promote their movie in the Monday episode while on Tuesday, the team of Lamha, starring Bipasha Basu, Sanjay Dutt, Kunal Kapoor and the director of the film came to cheer the contestants." Shashi was member of Aadesh Srivastav's gharana in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. Since he is a good singer, there is speculation of him returning to the show in the wild card entry. There are only seven singers left in the show and it is said that everyone was expecting Tia to go out due to her inconsistent performances.
