Sunidhi Chauhan left Indian Idol as a judge because the makers asked her to praise contestants !

Singer Sunidhi Chauhan who was a part of the judges panel of the 5th and 6th season of Indian Idol, told TOI in an interview, "Not exactly this ki sabko karna hai (that praise all of them) but yes, we all were told (to praise). That was the basic thing. And so, I couldn't go on. I couldn't do what they wanted and I had to part ways. Hence, today, I am not judging any reality show"

When Sunidhi was asked why did the makers of Indian Idol make such demands, she said that it must be to seek attention and hold the audience. "I think it is done to seek attention. I think it is required to be done to hold your audience. Guess it works," she said.
