Talking about the same, the singer called Amit 'naive'. Abhijeet further added that it's not like only he and Amit were talented, but there were other people in the competition as well, who were equally capable of winning the show. Elaborating more about it, he said:

"He is very naive. I have been to many competitions. There are several reasons why you lose a competition. It is not just one thing. He should not forget that he was the runner-up. It wasn't like we both were the only talented boys in the show, there were several other talented people in that competition."

Further, in the same interview, Abhijeet mentioned that an international team monitored Indian Idol 1, and it is not possible that he got the votes in the finale and Amid didn't. The singer added that Amit's fans and close ones must have conveyed to him such allegations, which can be their opinions as well. In his words:

"I feel, his people have conveyed such allegations to him and it can be sentimental also. It can be their own opinion also. The entire India was voting for us. How is it possible that one of us was getting votes and the other one wasn’t? Indian Idol 1 was also being monitored by the international team. I remember they used to be there on sets all the time."

Abhijeet says discussing Amit's claims after two decades makes 'no sense'

In the same conversation, Abhijeet added that such claims against the makers being unfair or partial keep happening. He recalled the time when a magazine published his picture and called Indian Idol 'rigged'. Abhijeet further added that one should focus on the future and not on what went wrong in the past. Adding that he finds it unfair to discuss such claims after decades, Abhijeet said:

"Such things keep happening. I remember there was a magazine which published my photo and wrote, ‘The show is rigged’. People are there to talk but as somebody who participated in the show, we should look at what we got from such shows and how we can take it forward rather than regretting about what was wrong. I find it unfair to discuss such matters now."
