    ANEEK hey Little Champ, Oops! You won the wrong title.

    ANEEK you are very YOUNG. All of your life still to GO and your carrier just started with a FAKE, False, manipulated and biased. They fooled you at your early life.

    Moving Forward “ PLEASE REJECT THIS CROWN for your well being“
    Mere bhai tere future ke liye pls REJECT the TILTE.
    BE a brave BOY who starts with Truth.

    AS this was setup and you are a NOT a TRUE winner.

    IT was someone else’s and GIVEN to YOU because you are HINDU.

    ITS not a talent Show but money making Show.

    THEY MADE FUN OF YOU. Sorry Bengali fan. This is TRUE what I am saying.

    Jai Himesh. No one left to beat u MAN. Aneek is real poor singer as to be your competitor. SO, HR smart and Indian music MARKET remains yours. If raja were there; might make your life HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLlllllllllll.

    Hi koolkolkata,
    Hi bro, its nice to read your post. are you into music? well to be winner you don’t require others’ smile. I guess its hard work and destiny that pays. I don’t know your age, but at least i can know you are not a music lover for sure. Find out yourself what you are?
    Best of Luck!!

    hi,

    I am form kolkata to. Dada,I never seen that you smile for Aneek. you said mouli is an Indian Sakira. very frank She is a stupid singer. Idont what you have get in her.I know little bit of Music.your 2 contitent are really hogwash, good for nothing . Comparativly Sumedha is good.

    And we know that last 15-20yrs you did not give one good song for us , so your GARANA , what they can give us , we know.

    best thing you can do you open a juwalier shop in kolkata or mumbai. DOnt mins, but truth is alwys truth but hard to accept. We are Helpless.

    hi bappi da,
    ur Gharana is my fav and u r doing a great job, but one thing disspointed me a lot, when Harpreet was crying no one said a single word for him and no one consoled him except Junaid, Adi and Aanad sir, I could expect it frm u bcz Harpreet was frm ur gharana but u didnt went to console him that was really sad but now I expect that he will come back in brahamsashtra round and u will support him, he is really a good singer
