Indian Idol 12 Latest Elimination: Ashish Kulkarni Eliminated, Angry Twitterati says its Unfair and Biased Elimination

Indian Idol has been winning hearts across the country and the world with immense talented performances of the idols. The latest episode had Asha Bhosle as the special guest. Asha ji unveiled the golden trophy of the winner. The makers of the show also confirmed the grand finale will be power packed and will be aired on Sony Entertainment Television on 15th August.

All the performances were outstanding but the hearts of the fans were racing to see who will get eliminated. Out of the bottom two, Shanmukhapriya and Ashish Kulkarni, Ashish got eliminated. This led the fans fierce and took the internet storm by their anger.

Many said, that this is a total unfair and biased elimination as Ashish is  one of the most versatile singer and is capable of singing all genres of songs whereas on the other hand, Shanmukha sings only one type of genre. Few also said that they have lost faith in the fair judgement of the show and seems even eliminations are scripted.

Ashish wrote a thankful note for everyone on Instagram – 

And to you, the one who’s reading this, you made a normal guy like me reach till the top 7 of #indianidol2020 . I’m forever grateful to you. Thankyou so much for bringing me a lot closer to my dreams. I promise I’ll never stop now. Goodbye for now. See you again soon.
