| Within minutes of winning the title, Sandeep has given interviews to nearly "200 media persons", has secured himself a manager, gelled his hair, is donning a new look courtesy the channel's makeover artistes who are giving him a new wardrobe, and yes, by the time you read this article, he will be in Sony's recording studio preparing for his album that will be ready to hit the market by next month. |
| "I won't change even if my life has undergone a drastic change," promises Sandeep rather philosophically, as we start our interview finally, at 11 pm — after he's tirelessly gone for interviews, photo sessions, recording contracts and meeting celebrities. |
| He is still waiting to go home to meet his father who heads a construction business, the other 21 members of his joint family "who live together in the same house", little cousins who say they want to "show off" their big brother, and his friends, who are eagerly waiting for their "Mr Popular" in Bikaner. |
| "Ya, I don't know when I'll get the time to go back home, but I'm not complaining," he gushes. "It was a weird moment," he says, remembering the time when he was declared the new Indian Idol. "I instantly felt bad for Karunya," he admits. |
| Is he saying that Karunya deserved to win? "Well, it was a close contest, but I guess I was lucky to have had tremendous mass appeal," he feels. Sandeep could be right. |
