Playback singer Sonu Nigam, who returns as a judge for music reality show after a gap of six years, was initially apprehensive about his upcoming show X-Factor, as he does not believe in manipulating reactions and situations to garner TRPs.
"I was apprehensive about the show because I don't trust music shows. They came to me three months back and I had said no. I feel they all go through the TRP route where they manipulatereactions and situations. Music is too pure for me and I don't want to dilute it," Nigam said in an interview.
"Initially I thought X-Factor would be like that too. But I realised that the team of Sony channel is into making this a biggest extravaganza on television. My consent is proof enough of my faith in the format," Nigam said.
The 37-year-old singer was the judge for two seasons of Indian Idol. Recently, he also judged children's singing reality shows - Little Champs and Chhote Ustaad.
"I did not do any adult music shows because I thought there was lot of manipulation. I don't see myself fitting into all this. I have had offers but I refused," Nigam said.
