The participants of L’il Champs knocked down not by competition but by chicken pox. The shooting with the 12 participants who have made it to the finals was about to take place from 11 June but unfortunately five of them are down with the disease. Abhigyaan, Yashodhan, Hemant, Debolina and Shreyasi are severely ill and are not in a condition to practice or shoot. They are advised complete bed rest and not to stress themselves. And as the disease is contagious, more are expected to fall prey to it. The team is in a grave dilemma because the channel has to re–schedule everything from scratch now. And as per the rules and regulations, the kids cannot be asked to shoot until and unless they are up and about on their feet. Ouch that’s a bad mark for a new show.
