Contestant Accuses Judges of Unfair Treatment, Forced Exit from Pakistan Idol

Pakistan Idol Season 2 is facing fresh controversy as a top contestant, Ebraar Shahid, has made serious allegations against the show’s judges and production team after announcing his departure from the competition.

The Allegations

In a social media statement, Ebraar Shahid claimed he was not given a fair chance on the show. His key accusations include:

• Excessive Audio Manipulation: He stated his voice was autotuned to such an extent that it no longer sounded like his own, and his complaints were ignored.
• Pressure and Threats: He alleged receiving calls pressuring him to delete his posts and warning of legal action if he spoke publicly about the show’s matters.
• Pre-determined Elimination: Shahid claimed the judges never intended to keep him in the competition long-term and that he is being forced out for “speaking the truth,” alleging other talented contestants were also unfairly removed.

Public and Show’s Stance

While Ebraar framed his exit as a personal decision to leave, his statements strongly imply he felt compelled to quit. The show’s producers or judges have not yet issued an official response. Public reaction on social media is mixed, with some viewers supporting his courage and others pointing out potential legal ramifications for violating a participant agreement.
