Single Sawant spreads hope

Statesman News Service
Siliguri, July 24. — This should spell good news for millions of
girls who have lost sleep over 'Indian Idol' Abhijit Sawant!
The heartthrob of many, Abhijit says he has no girlfriend. "I have
innumerable girl fans but not a girlfriend," says the Indian Idol.
Revealing his "secrets" in an exclusive interview with this
correspondent at a Siliguri hotel on Saturday afternoon, the pin-up
boy also makes it clear that marriage is not in his mind at least for
the next two years.
As Abhijit answered the questions one after another, he was neither
nervous nor too casual, rather he was quite professional.
Here are a few excerpts from the interview:

n How do you find Siliguri?
lAbhijit:"Actually I have not visited any of the haunts here. I
haven't gone out of my hotel suite since I stepped in this morning."

n But does this mean you don't find this region exciting
enough?
lAbhijit :"It is not that. I did not get much sleep yesterday night
as I was performing and I since I'm performing this evening too I
thought it wise to take a nap."
The night before that is, on Friday, he had a show in Mumbai and just
after the show he
boarded the flight for Kolkata and then for Bagdogra.

n With a hectic schedule as this how does you manage time for
practice?
lAbhijit : "It is true that these days I don't get enough time for
practicing. But at the same time when you are performing it also
compensates for practicing as in both cases you are basically
making 'use' of your voice."

n That means professional singers don't need to spend time on
rehearsals?
(The Indian Idol suddenly correcting himself clarified his stand)
l Abhijit: When I am out of practice for many days at a stretch, I do
feel like I am 'lagging behind.'

n Siliguri and its adjoining areas have proved ucky for Bollywood
stars. In fact portions of the recent two big hits from the cine
industry 'Main Hoon Na' and 'Parineeta' were shot in this region. So,
how about shooting your next album here?
lAbhijit: "Well I would love to shoot in this region as I have heard
of the beautiful landscape here. (Pausing a little) But the problem
is that when you choose a location like this for shooting an album
should have a huge budget and that's why producers try to avoid
outstation spots."
But giving some hope Abhijit promised that he would try to fix a
shooting of his album in this region very soon. Which is something
great to look forward to.

Amit Sana has just released Chal Diye Many said he was sure to win the Indian Idol title (even celebrities vocally endorsed him) but Amit Sana came in second. Success however hasn't eluded him. The singer has just released his first solo album Chal Diye (which will be out in stores on July 26) and he seems as confident as ever. He says, "Once I got to the last stage, I knew there was no going back from there. At that point I knew I would be successful." Sana's firsts The first album you ever bought with your own money Sonu Nigam's Yaad Your first celebrity crush Neetu Singh The first song you remember your parents singing to you My father used to sing Chand Sa Roshan Chehra and I used to put my ear to his chest and listen to the vibrations The first prize you won for singing I was in the third standard and I sang in front of 3000- 4000 people. I was so small that they had to make me sit on a table so people could see me. I had I forgotten my antra, but I managed to get back on track on my own. I sang a bhajan Your first celebrity encounter I met Anup Jalota when I was in the seventh standard. He was a judge at a competition Favourite songs Jab Koi Baat… My brother, sister and I sang this for our parents 25th wedding anniversary. They were so happy they started crying Tera Chehra Itna Suhana Lagta Hai… This is one of my favourite songs. I sang it in front of all my classmates for my school crush. All my friends were watching her expressions and her reactions Mere Sapnon Ki Rani… This song is close to my heart. It is one of the first songs I remember singing. I think I was four years old when I started singing it A Telugu song called Oore Pichi Sanna Si… I remember it because it was the first time someone recorded me singing. I used to sing it a lot when I was a kid so my mama recorded it
