A Letter from Padmhasini

This is Padmhasini addressing you….

Dear readers,

I have been planning to write this post for quite sometime now.

Television Channels have multiplied in huge numbers lately and to cope with the rat race of maximum viewership for their shows is no small task for the producers of shows and channels in turn.

Reality shows have their own format and presentation. The producers directors take enormous pains to present each show. Viewers pass comments, good bad and sweeping ones sometimes. Organisation and co-ordination requires lot of efforts. Sometimes everything falls in place, sometimes it proves otherwise

If an anchor is missing for one or two episodes, the world does not come to an end. The show does not break apart. Chinmayi has already said nobody is indispensable except the show itself.

Similarly, if a contestant is eliminated, the world does not come to end either...for her or him. If they had good visibility by the time of elimination, the purpose is served. As said before, its the sheer destiny of a contestant which is going to decide their future and career.

Chinmayi has anchored only one show, that is super singer in the previous two seasons and now once again.It has given her an opportunity to explore a newer possibility in her and you (the viewers) have supported her in an incredible manner. Both Chinmayi and myself as her mother express our heartfelt gratitude for the same.

Tomorrow, there may be yet another anchor who may figure in the same show. Who knows?:) But the show goes on. Not only this, all the shows, irrespective of everything. That is the reality.

Previously the show was designed for four to five months at a maximum. Now it is for a longer....much longer duration. And Chinmayi whose basics are elsewhere, will find it difficult to cope with a long duration assignment where the dates need coordination with many others, considering her other compulsions and assignments.

People from all walks of life have expressed their critical views about the costumes she wore, concern about her singing voice whenever they felt she was shouting or straining her voice. We thank all of you with immense gratitude and it is this image we have always tried to hold and will do so for ever.

Our gratitude goes to super singer show itself which enabled Chinmayi to be a household name and wherever we went, people have touched us with their affection. Thanks once again.

We owe tremendous gratitude to the Channel Star Vijay which has enhanced her status given by Shri.A.R.Rahman among the music loving people. And Super Singer Show and Star Vijay are like Chinmayi’s home ground as far as her television sojourn is concerned.

Under the concert commitments of 2009, Chinmayi will be finding it difficult to continue with the show. The episodes following the Pongal week, i.e. 19th, 20th and 21st of January will be her last week on Airtel Super Singer.
Airtel Super Singer will always be close to our hearts.

And the show will go on. :)
