Popular singing reality show ‘Indian Idol’ is back with its 13th edition and it has been grabbing eyeballs owing to amazing talent. After several rounds of auditions in different cities, the show has got its top 15 contestants. However, fans and netizens are disappointed to see contestant named Rito Riba from Arunachal Pradesh was not selected by the judges- Neha Kakkar, Vishal Dadlani, and Himesh Reshammiya. Rito’s shocking eviction has made fans start a boycott trend against the show.
Many fans demanded to bring Rito Riba back on the show with the hashtag #standwithRitoRiba. Also, #boycottIndianIdol13 is trending on Twitter with users lashing out at the judges and makers calling Indian Idol a ‘scripted show.’ One netizen tweeted, “i was planning to watch an Indian idol this year, after i show one video on social media of creative artist #RitoRiba but very disappointed as he has been eliminated from the show. But it’s okay it will save my time. #Fake #scripted#sony #indianidol13 @VishalDadlani #boycott.”
Another wrote, “Public want to listen fresh and soulful voice of Rito Riba more. Please we want Rito Riba back.. #indianidol13 #RitoRiba.”
Really disappointed that #RitoRiba was not selected. I think @SonyTV Indian idol 13 judges @iAmNehaKakkar @HimeshOnline are bias
