Eighteen-year-old Naushad Ali Kawa from Jaipur is the latest evictee of <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/dream-girl-and-big-surprise-idol-5>Indian Idol 5</a>. Sad, considering he was one of the very talented contestants and was even named as the singer of the week in last night’s gala episode. Looks like, the public is hard of hearing good, gifted singers. His elimination will happen tonight.

This week there will be a huge surprise for <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/shashi-gets-boot-indian-idol>Indian Idol 5</a> contestants. It is becoming a trend of sorts when the most deserving candidates end up with minimum votes. So after watching Sreeram and Shivam in the bottom two everyone felt once again either of them would probably have to pay the price for the <em>junta</em>'s decision.

The only way the remaining talented singers on <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/entertainment-3-replace-indian-idol-5>Indian Idol 5</a> can save themselves is by singing badly in the gala rounds because if one goes by Shashi Suman’s eviction this week, looks like viewers have scant respect for pure talent! Shashi is a former <em><a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/purab-fill-aditya-sa-re-ga-ma>Sa Re Ga Ma Pa</a></em> contestant and was equally stunned to hear the results like all the three judges.

It seems difficult for girls to make it to the top in the current season of <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/yashraj-out-indian-idol-5>Indian Idol</a>. Arpita Khan is the latest to be eliminated thus leaving behind only two girls in the competition.

<a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/entertainment-ke-liye-2-retain-its-judges-and-hosts>Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega</a> has already began its auditions across the country. The earlier two seasons of <em>Entertainment</em> did well and now the channel is once again gearing up for the third season in time to take on the rival show, <em>India’s Got Talent 2</em>.

It had to happen sooner than later. Manisha Karmakar is eliminated this week in <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/meghna-kumar-out-idol>Indian Idol</a>. Karmakar who has earlier done <em>Sa Re Ga Ma Bangla</em> was always confident of being in the top 5 but has been faring quite badly in the last couple of weeks.

Seventeen-year-old Meghna Kumar is the next one to be eliminated from <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/vishwas-first-get-indian-idol-5-boat>Indian Idol 5</a>. Visually challenged Meghna from Jhansi failed to impress judges with her performance last week and had to pay the price for it.

If sources are to be believed there is a strong possibility that Salman Khan’s <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/dus-ka-dum/last-episode-dus-ka-dum>Dus Ka Dum</a> will be pushed to next year with season four of <em><a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/aamir-khan-host-kbc-4>Kaun Banega Crorepati</a></em> taking its place in September.

A former Sa Re Ga Ma Pa contestant Vishwas Rai from Allahabad is the first one to be eliminated on <em><a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/hussain-replaces-prajakta-indian-idol>Indian Idol 5</a></em> this Monday. Music composer Pritam was guest judge for the two episodes.

<a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/sunidhi-and-salim-join-anu-malek-indian-idol>Anu Malik</a>, the only judge to have been part of all the seasons of <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/indian-idol-start-april-26>Indian Idol</a> is reportedly having differences over money with Sony. Malik informs that it is not money but creative differences which had forced him to re-think his decision to be or not to be part of the show this time.
