MUMBAI: Amit Kumar's criticism of the contestants and the judges
Amit Kumar appeared on the reality show for Kishore Kumar special episode. While he did not say much on it, he later rubbished the contestants and judges. He said, "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 would 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. I didn't enjoy the episode at all." Amit also revealed his reasons for going to the show. "Look, everyone needs money. My father was also particular about money. They gave me the price I demanded and I went, why would I have left it?"
