नेपाली मूलकी छोरी प्रकृति गिरीलाई हिजो शनिवार को कार्यक्रममा जुरीले निकै तल्लो दर्जामा राखेर मार्किङ गरे, उनलाई मध्यम दिइयो । मध्यम भनेको फेल हो, उनीहरुको भाषामा । टप थ्रीको लेवलमा पुग्ने प्रकृतिको गायन कला नभएकै हो त ? पक्कै होइन । उनलाई जुरीले राम्रो नम्वर नदिनुको एउटै कारण छ, उनी नेपाली मूलकी छोरी हुन । बारम्बार व्यापक भोटले लिडिङ गरिराखेकी प्रकृतिसंग जुरीहरु डराएर उनलाई प्रतियोगिताबाट बाहिर निकाल्न बहुत प्रयासहरु पहिले पनि नभएका होइनन, हिजो त उनीहरुको यो सौतेलोपनले पराकाष्ठा नै नाघ्यो ।  कुनाल गाजावालको गुरु आदेश शिवास्तव जो कार्यक्रममा अतिथि थिए उनले प्रृकतिलाई सरताज सवोत्तम दिनु र कार्यक्रमका जुरी कुनाल गाजावालाले मध्यम दिनु भनेको कस्तो जजमेन्ट हो ? हिजोको कार्यक्रम हेरेपछि सवै नेपालीहरु तथा प्रकृतिका फयानहरु निकै रुष्ट छन् । भूपालका हजारौं दर्शकहरुले प्रकृति लाई वान्स मोर भनेर व्यापक सपोट र उनको गायकलाई उत्कृष्ट मान्दामान्दै पनि जुरीलाई प्रकृतिको परफरमेन्स (मध्यम) फेल देखिनु भनेको के हो ? के कुनाल गाजावालालाई नियन्त्रण गर्ने मान्छे नभएकै हो त ? हिजो प्रकृतिलाई एउटै कार्यक्रम...

Comments collected on the elimination of Prakriti Giri:  Prakriti Got Eliminated : * Yesterday, they declared the result in Jaipur and Prakriti got eliminated. She did not cry. We all agree that she sings average, but we were seeking advice how to make the judges feel that they cannot humiliate by saying whatever they feel like. Many people were suggesting Prakriti to quit from the show. Yesterday after the result was declared her aunty told judges that after watching Saturday's episode people were suggesting her to quit, but she did not quit because GHORKHALIS never run away from the battlefield, rather prefer to die while fighting in the battlefield. CHOTE USTAAD was like battlefield for Prakriti, and she was a daughter of GHORKHALI she fought till the end. She told judges that while commenting on child try to understand the phycology of child also. They said sorry to prakriti personally. Any ways, prakriti is always a CHOTE USTAAD for us. Don't miss to watch Friday...
