The cutest 'Indian Idol' voted out
By Rachna Kanwar
The show-stopper of 'Indian Idol' and one of the cutest guys on the show was voted out last night. Tears rolled down Sagar Sawarkar's cheeks as his mother sitting in the audience looked at her son in disbelief. It was the most unexpected result of the first gala round.
Out of the six contestants of the talent show, Sagar was the most popular not just with the judges but also with the rest of the participants. He was often referred to as the 'complete package'
The female contestants of the show cried openly and so did his friend Karunya. Even Anu Malik was seen wiping his eyes as the host of the show Mini Mathur announced the result. Sagar sang 'Dhadak Dhadak' for the last time in the show as friends crowded him, crying and hugging him.
Anu Malik had coined the nicknames 'Chhota Baba' and 'Sagar Baba' for the cute, short contestant. He had endlessly teased Sagar with a female contestant, Abha who was eliminated in the Piano round.
This morning a composed yet foxed Sagar wondered why he got voted out, "I seriously don't know how I got voted out. My performance was good; singing was good, even the judges liked it. Even my image in public was good, viewers liked me. I think its all about destiny."
It was Farah Khan who had felt that Sagar wasn't his usual smiling self in the first gala round. "I had given my best shot; I don't know what went wrong suddenly. In the piano round Farah ji said I was her favourite and this time I decided to concentrate on my singing. I don't know what the audience thought about it."
The first goal is to complete my graduation and then to concentrate on my singing. I have been learning for 10 years but I want to learn new things. I will concentrate on a combination of performance and singing both.
It was a shock for me and I'll take some time to come out of this. It was a habit for me to get up early in the morning and sleep late at night. Press conferences and videos etc. had become a part of my life. I can take it positively and I believe in the saying from Gita that 'whatever happens, happens for the best'."
The memories of Abha and him in the theatre round still bring a smile on his face and a happy note in his voice. "In the theatre round we had performed a duet together. It was 'Tauba Tauba' from the film 'Kaal'. I think we gelled well and had fun while performing. And therefore the chemistry happened and showed in our performance. The judges liked it and called it the best performance in that round. Those are the sweetest memories for me."
On being asked who the participants are that he will miss the most Sagar said without thinking twice, "Karunya and Monali".
