Zee Kannada's Sa Re Ga Ma Pa singing reality show in Kannada has been one of the favourites of people as it was considered as the most impartial show. But now after the result of the grand finale, people have expressed disappointment over the results and said the talent had been pushed aside and the winners were announced on the basis of TRP and sympathy.

The grand finale of the reality show was held on Sunday, and the competition was between Dhanush, Sunil, Sriharsha, Deeksha, Mehaboob Saab, Sree Harsha and Aravind. Sunil was declared the winner and second place was secured by Mehboob Sab and Sree Harsha was in the third place.

However, people have been commenting that Sree Harsha was a better choice in terms of singing. But Sunil got the sympathy votes as he is from an economically poor background and Mehboob Saab is visually impaired.

However, people also agree that both Sunil and Mehboob Saab are good singers but may have expressed that Sree Harsha was better than Sunil and Mehboob.

Here is what people have to say about the grand finale` results.

@ZeeKannada Your Saregamapa award looks to have been fixed. Where is Sunil or Mehaboob and where is Harsha. Shame on politics of judges
