does the title really matter?

does winning the title really matter? i mean it is good to add to your biodata and be in all newspapers for a day or two but what after that? if you are really good then runners up is still fine.

take for instance abhijeet sawant and rahul vaidya. latter was 3rd and in last 1 year i have seen more of rahul vaidya and prajakta on tv than any other indian idol contestant ofcourse amit tandon in a tv show. but sony is giving equal oppurtunity to abhijeet, rahul vaidya, prajakta and amit sana. all are cutting albums. all have sung for movies. all have equal fame.

similarly even though qazi-rooprekha won FG title. how long are they going to be in limelight? last i heard shamit-arijit-mona are going to cut an album for tips and tips is also going to use them as playback singers in their forthcoming movies.

so i think real talent doesn't need titles.

u're absolutely right
👏

The winner's album is released first...he is given more priority in many ways..i think title really matters for one reason for sure that they get a car and 1 crore wat else do they need.

Title has it's own charm.. You are right too in a way See Rahul Saxsena he has its own car and aload of projects.. but still he is not FIRST INDIAN IDOL.. which itself is a big reward..

they don't get 1 crore. 1 crore is given over the period of few years. yes!! they get car but so did amit sana & rahul vaidya. one got 50 lakhs contract and another got 25 lakhs contract. also the best ones are observed by many so they go on signing contracts so i don't think sony's 1 crore contract and maruti baleno car matters.

well, the title kinda matters, financially at least.. and well.. shamit arjit nd mona were the winner/runnurs up of dus ke dus le gaye dil.. plus rahul and prajakta were the close runner ups.. but the ones who get out in the begaining of show.. like sagar.. hez not gona get a chance to cut an album so easily is he? so well it kinda does matter

1 crore is given in 4 instalments throughout the whole yr.. which is fair enough.. and its 1 crore contract.. just like its a 50/25 lakh coontract

i agree to the highlighted part. it is a pity that only last 4 or 5 are going to be in limelight. contestants like sagar and panna are going to be forgotten. there was this guy amit jadhav in FG who was an all rounder whatever happened to him? similarly rahul saxena from II-1 was promised lots of things but i don't read about him anywhere.😔

Abhijit Sawant and his family have nowhere to turn to after BMC declares his building in Mahim unsafe

Abhijit Sawant with his father at his Mahim flat

The boy whom you made into a superstar is looking for a house. And it's urgent, for the one he is staying in with his ageing parents can collapse any day.
Indian Idol Abhijit Sawant's father, Shridhar Sawant, an employee of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's Establishment Department at Byculla, received a notice a couple of days back asking him to vacate his G-8, Sahu Nagar flat. The building needs urgent repairs, it said.
Though Abhijit made a name for himself when he won the Indian Idol contest in October last year, he chose to stay with hisr parents. "The notice has been a bit of a shock. I grew up here. All my friends are here. I don't want to leave this place," he told Mumbai Mirror on Tuesday.
Shridhar Sawant, however, said he would hold no grudge against the BMC. "If they are asking us to vacate, we will. But they must make alternative arrangements," he said. The notice does not say anything about alternative accommodation. Even if it did, it would sure be in distant suburbs.
Abhijit, whose first album 'Aapka Abhijit' has been a runaway success, has begun looking for a house, but he is not happy.
G-8, Sahu Nagar has been the Sawants' address for close to 12 years now. Leaving the place would mean foresaking friends and neighbours who have stood by them through thick and thin. "I do not want to desert the other residents of the building as they are the ones who helped me attain my current status. They were with me when I was just an aspiring singer. How can I leave them in the lurch?" said Abhijit.
Also, there is the question of where the money would come from for a new house. Abhijit won Rs 1 crore with the Idol crown. However, he said, he has not received any money yet.
Sahu Nagar comprises 20 building and is home to around 1200 Maharashtrians.
The singer's mother, Neelima, had tears in her eyes. "It's hard to believe we would have to leave like this," she said.
