Many hearts were broken when the Indian Idol results were declared and Amit Paul lost to Prashant Tamang. Children ran up to the stage, crying, when he lost.
But Amit has no tears. He says he already feels like a winner because of the support he received.
He talks to Patcy N about the grand finale in Delhi, and his future plans.
It was a very big day for Prashant and me. I am happy that he won Indian Idol. I did feel sad; I won't lie. The time, effort and pressure we faced, and then to lose in the end... is sad.
But I don't think I'm a loser. I feel like a winner. I have got so much love and affection from so many people in India and the world. I would like to thank all of them. It is because of them that I don't feel like a loser. They are the ones who have brought me to this stage. Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine this would happen to me.
