Shreya Ghoshal

We had earlier reported that Seema Jha, Geet Sagar and Sajda Sisters were the top three contestants who will battle it out in the grand finale. And now our soap sleuths bring some more news from the sets of Sony's <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/nirmitee-group-eliminated-x-factor>X Factor</a>. If rumour mills are to be believed then Geet Sagar from <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/shreya-ghoshal-judge-x-factor>Shreya Ghoshal's</a> team has won the show.

The latest news on the on going music reality show <A href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/amit-jadhav-eliminated-x-factor>X Factor</a> is that this week 63-year-old <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/x-factor-contestant-backs-out>Kartar Singh Yadav</a> from Agra is eliminated. The singer who had been a favourite with the judges and the audiences will take a bow this week.

This week in Sony’s <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/silver-moment-x-factor-contestants-and-elimination>X Factor</a> Sajda Sisters from <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/interviews/bad-behaviour-tv-nauseating-sanjay-leela-bhansali>Sanjay Leela Bhansali</a>’s team and Amit Jadhav from <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/shreya-ghoshal-judge-x-factor>Shreya Ghoshal</a>’s team were up for eliminations. However, the lucky sisters got saved once again.

Speculations were rife about who the third judge would be, apart from Sanjay Leela Bhansali and <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/snippets/sonu-nigam-postpones-his-flight-media>Sonu Nigam</a>, of Sony’s musical reality show <em><a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/sunny-sanju-sonu-shreya-rahman-x-factor-makers-wooing-everyone>X-Factor</a></em>. However, now it has been confirmed it is <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/its-tie-between-shreyas-superstars-and-shaans-strikers>Shreya Ghoshal</a>.

Trust Rahul Vaidya to play the ladies’ man. Remembering him trying to please female judges and celebrity guests with red roses and shayaris!

TellyChakkar had written about Himesh Reshammiya, Shankar Mahadevan, Shaan, Mika, Mohit Chauhan and Shreya Ghosal being the six mentors finalised for <em>Music ka Maha Muqabla</em>. At a recently held press-conference of the show, Ghoshal, the only female mentor was conspicuous by her absence. And if that was not enough, her team of singers – Aabhas Joshi, Aneek Dhar and Ujjaini Mukherjee -- were asked to leave the conference. Reason? No mentor, no team. So what happened?
