Abhijeet Sawant (TOI Photo) More Pics

When Abhijeet Sawant became the first Indian Idol in the year 2005, it was a time when reality shows were on the rise.

In 2008, when reality shows are a dime a dozen on each and every channel, Abhijeet is again part of the reality show Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar . Doesn€™t he find it boring to be a part of a reality show again?

€œThe Indian tendency is €" jo cheez chal jaati hai, usko dus baar chalaate hain ,€ says Abhijeet, €œBut the USP of this show is that all singers in this show are the winners and runners-up from other reality shows, so that€™s where the freshness of the concept lies.€

The singer is happy with his journey so far. €œI didn€™t think I would get a good start like this so early in my career. This platform came really early and I€™m really grateful to God for it,€ he says. The one thing Abhijeet€™s glad about is that he has managed to stay away from controversies. €œAlthough some or the other thing happens once in a while,€ he smiles and adds, €œBut more or less, I stay away from them. I lead a simple life and I€™m happily married, so I guess that helps.€

Fresh from the success of his second album Junoon , the singer is hoping to find success in acting too. His debut film Lottery is a romantic thriller and Abhijeet is quite excited about it.

€œThe character I play is an underdog, he€™s an accountant working in a fashion magazine. Some strange things happen in his life which he finds himself trapped,€ he explains. But Abhijeet is clear that more than acting, it€™s playback singing he€™s concentrating on. €œTalks are on for anchoring shows on television but nothing has been finalised as yet,€ he says.
