/> If you think music-show maverick Gajendra Singh is going to be daunted by the frontal attack by his former channel Zee's bosses, you're in for a shock.

Singh continues to move ahead with his second show, a talent-scouting contest for Star One and also a brand new hush-hush show for Samir Nair on NDTV's new entertainment channel.

But the hurt shines through when he talks. "Zee has called me ungrateful. I gave them fourteen years of my life and career. Why I should be considered ungrateful for moving on ? I've given them every ounce of creative energy for fourteen years.

Is it my fault that their attempts to sustain their music shows haven't been successful after I left? They accuse me of copying the Zee shows. Music is my only passion. When I left Zee I obviously would take my passion for music with me."

Zee's declarations that the channel would do their best to stop Gajendra Singh have left him shaken. "Is this how they want to treat me just because I've moved on? I'm not scared. In fact I'm more determined than ever to build my life again.

My shows will continue to be different from what I did Zee, and I'll continue to fight their charges of duplication. And I'll continue to do my shows. In my new talent-scouting contest music composers Jatin Pandit and Aadesh Shrivastava will be training all the contestants before they come on air.

I want my contest to be fully transparent. And I want to prove I can grow beyond what I did at Zee. I repeat, I don't have to copy shows that I gave birth to.

Now Zee is telecasting repeats of my shows with my name deleted from the credits and putting someone else's name. Someone who joined Zee in 2005, after those repeated episodes had been made...But I don't want to fight the company that nurtured my talent. Injustice can never triumph."

Gajendra has also been accused of carrying all the technicians from Zee to his news shows on Star. "Completely untrue," protests Singh. 'I left Zee all alone..And I plan to make a success of what I'm doing wherever I go."

After his two shows on Star One, Gajendra is planning a musical show for NDTV Imagine. "It's going to be a musical like none other," he promises.
