For the unversed, he has been facing the heat of some fans after the elimination of a contestant named Sridhar Sena. His fans are constantly blaming judges and channels over his eviction. One of the fans wrote,”#sridharsena I’m done with this show now. I’m not gonna watch your dramatic shows anymore. Thank you for the frustrations. #NoSridharSenaNosupersinger.” Another wrote, “Cheap @vijaytelevision uses the background stories of their contestants like Iyenar n Sirpi to gain TRP and views. This has been the trend ever since. For example Senthil, Mukutimurugan, Divakar etc. This is why they keep these contestants till the end. #SuperSinger8 #sridharsena.”
