In a post by SVOI
- Anwesha Duttagupta, the contestant in Chhote Ustaad from Kolkata has won many hearts through her soulful singing. Even after coming in the scaryland repeatedly, this girl made sure to make it to the finals through her talent. She won the hearts of everyone on the show with her sweet smile and her melodious singing. A very down to earth girl she is sure to create waves in the music industry is what most music lovers feel.
- How has your journey been through Chhote Ustaad?
- It has been a great experience. I have learnt a lot apart from the competition. And I enjoyed a lot with all my friends. And most importantly, I got to learn a lot from two very important people Anand Sharma and Anuj Kapoor, who help us train and give us a lot of technical tips.
- How do you feel reaching the finals?
- I am quite excited about being in the finals. I am workinhg really hard and we will try and give our best so that the finale is a rocking show.
- Were you sure of coming this far?
- I wouldn’t say that I was over-confident of making it big here, at the same time I was sure that I had it in me to move on in the competition. My mother had always told me to take it one step at a time. And that’s what I did, I started out slowly by thinking that I just hope I reach the top 11 first. Doing so, I have finally reached the finals.
- How are you preparing for the finals?
- Preparation is going on pretty strong. We are concentrating a lot more on the performance and our singing. Along with the tension of being in the finals, there is also a lot of excitement. We are working very hard to make sure the finale is a good show.
- Among the three judges, who is ur favorite?
- All three of them are equally nice. They have all been very caring towards us throughout the competition. They have always made their decisions unanimously and their comments usually don’t vary. All three are the best in their own style and genre.
- In the usual format of such shows except for the finals, all the ronds are done in the studio. How do you feel going through this changed format? Which format do you feel is better?
- Well when it is a live performance, we have to practice a lot more than for a recorded performance. There is a lot of stress and tension associated with a live performance. In fact I was present for the grand finale of Star Voice of India and I saw that there were a lot of rehearsals held. I have never thought on the lines of which format is better. Both the formats are good in their own way.
- Who among you two have the best chance to win?
- Umm… what can I say about that? Both of us are working very hard and will give our best. Winning or losing is a part of any competition. All I can say is that after coming to this platform, we have received equal adulation and blessings and I don’t think winning or losing really matters, after reaching to this level.
- Any incident that touched you and you would be taking with you after the show gets over?
- Yeah I do have a special memory. When the Star Voice of India finale was going on, Lata Mangeshkar had come as the celebrity judge on the show and I was quite excited to meet her. I went up to her and received her blessings too.
- Future plans after this show?
- After Chhote Ustaad, I hope to become a successful playback singer. Hopefully as I grow I become a versatile singer, that’s all is what I wish for.
- Actresses you would love to do playback singing for?
- I would like to do playback singing for all the actresses.

Rakhi alleges she was cheated in reality show.
Crime Branch Deptt. Of the Mumbai Police will enquire into Rakhi Sawant’s and Abhishek’s complaint against Star Plus, the reality show owner of Nach Baliye-3.
- On 15th December, 2007, TV stars Sanjeeda and her Baliye Amir were declared winners of the third Nach Baliye reality dance show, Rakhi-Abhishek were declared the runners up (read related article on this in Bestdesi.com)
- Rakhi alleges that voting was tampered and SMSs in her support were blocked, thus indulging in software manipulation. She further alleges that even before the results were out, they had known that they were lost in the run. She adds that the channel was trying to promote its own shows by ensuring victory for those who act in them, she added. Both Sanjida and Amir act in different serials aired on Star Plus.
- The duo alleges that if the police do not enquire into the matter under “cyber crimeâ€, such frauds will never stop and Rakhi has pleaded the Mumbai Police to act as “Santa†and initiate action against the channel and the show organizers.
- Incidentally, Mumbai Police has made it clear that was a “non priority†matter and would be probed in a routine manner only as according to the Police there are far bigger issues of importance than this, so they will deploy their men as per the merits of the case.
- Rakhi also challenged other contestants saying, “I and Abhishek will be performing on 31st night, which will be a challenge for us and everybody else. People will come to know the real abilities of Rakhi and Abhishek.”
- We at BestDesi.com feels that all over again this is a media hype feat of Rakhi, she is not even an established actress and as us usual Rakhi is very superlative undertaking these form of gimmicks and it is absolute squander of time on her part to do these type of campaigns thus wasting the time and energy of Mumbai Police who have lots of other significant everyday jobs on their shoulders than intriguing care of melodramatic queen Rakhi’s tantrums. She just wants to create a controversy for the sake of it, she lost because of her DIRTY image rather than vote rigging.

Balaji Tele Films a.k.a Ekta Kapoor is getting accomplishment in Arab countries through her daily soaps.
“That’s because we’ve decided to make soaps for the Gulf countries. As it is, they watch pirated versions of our Indian soaps, so I decided, why not make serials separately for the Muslim world?” says the thrilled Ekta.Â
Creation of Ekta’s new brain-wave moderately was easy because of her super-popular Gujarati culture-specific soaps like “Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi” are easily adaptable into a Muslim vibes.
According to Ekta, “Whether it’s a Gujarati business family or a Muslim business family, the themes are interchangeable. But the characters and their names, clothes and environment are variableâ€. Â
“Think of how popular these Gulf-produced serials would be when my “Kyunkis” and “Kasautis” are so popular in Pakistan and the Gulf countries. “
“It’s a new and bold step for us. I love challenges. What’s life without them”? By making Muslim socials I’ll have the entire Indian, Pakistani and Middle East population watching my soaps. We hope to have 2-3 soaps on air in 2008 from our Gulf office,” said the overconfident Ekta.
