9. Superstar Singer 3: Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Neha Kakkar Lock Horns in Heated Argument Over Singing at Weddings
Sparks flew on Superstar Singer 3 as veterans Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Neha Kakkar clashed over singing at weddings. Bhattacharya suggested it diminishes an artist’s stature, while Kakkar defended it as honest work. The disagreement, during contestant evaluations, saw Bhattacharya claiming self-respect prevents him from such gigs. Kakkar countered, emphasizing hard work deserves fair compensation.
Bhattacharya stated, “Koi bhi paisa diya or shaadi mey gaane lage, usme aukaat kum hojaati hai. Meri aukaat hai, mai bol deta hu, mai nahi gaunga. Duniya ki koi taakat tumhe khareed nahi sakti.” (“Anyone who sings at weddings for money loses their stature. I have my self-respect, I’m saying this, I won’t sing. No power in the world can buy me.”)
Kakkar, taken aback by Bhattacharya’s comment, quickly retorted, “Aap apni mehnat ka kamao or mehnat ka toh kaise bhi kamaya jaa sakta hai. Shaadi mey gaana buri baat nahi hai.” (“You earn through your hard work, and hard work can be monetized in any way possible. Singing at weddings is not a bad thing.”)
The argument, though mediated by judges, highlighted differing views on performance value within the industry. This social media frenzy has fans taking sides, igniting discussions on music industry hierarchy and respect among artists.
