Indian Idol 12 is facing the heat for allowing contestants to remain in the reality show despite their dismal performances. Over the weekend, a section of netizens demanded the ouster of Shanmukhapriya,  who “only shouts and has no melody. She is making a mockery of songs,” wrote a social media user.

For the unversed, Shanmukhapriya and Ashish Kulkarni sang 'Humko Sirf Tumse Pyaar Hai' during Nadeem-Shravan special episode. Giving a glimpse of the performance, the makers posted a short clip on social media, only to receive negative comments mostly.
