Bollywood singer Rekha Bhardwaj who is known for songs like ‘Kabira’ and “Hamari Atariya” has recently shown disappointment over the concept of music reality shows.
The singer in a series of tweet expressed concerns over the talented kids who participate in music reality shows. She said that the kids are asked to compete and ask for votes, look glamorous instead of guiding these kids to treat music as Ibaadat/prayer. She even asked why there is so much drama in music reality shows?
Here are the tweets:
What disappoints me and saddens me is that rather than guiding these kids to treat music as Ibaadat/Prayer we are teaching them to compete /ask for votes/ learn to look glamorous … in the name of Guru Shishya Parampara we are using their age and spoiling their innocence !!
