What shd i be feeling guilty abt-Shaan

What should I be feeling guilty about?

Shaan, former host of 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' (Zee), has no qualms about doing a music show for another channel

Your name was synonymous with 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' (Zee). What made you move on to 'Voice of India-Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' (Star Plus)?
I had a great time hosting 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa'. But I had to be with Gajendra Singh (former creative director of the Zee show, now producer of 'Voice of India' on Star Plus) when he needed me. He was the one who got me into anchoring.

I thought it would be wrong not to support him when he was doing an independent project. I believe it's more important to be loyal to people than organisations. I didn't know the channel representatives until recently. It was natural for me to move on with Gajendra.

Were you aware that Zee was planning a second season to 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge'?
I wasn't surprised. Knowing its huge popularity in the first season, I knew that eventually they would come up with a second one.

How did the channel react to your quitting?
They understood my stand. Although neither the channel nor Gajendra ever spoke to me about what transpired between them, I could sense that all was not well. It can't be true that someone who has been working with the channel for a long time would quit for progress. There has to be something more than that.

'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' had endeared you to the audiences. Do you feel guilty about moving on?
What should I be feeling guilty about? I don't owe anything to the channel; neither do they owe me anything. Honestly, I was not hired by the channel; I was hired by the director (Gajendra).

Have you seen 'Challenge 2007'? Do you miss being on the show?
I liked it but I am not missing it.

How are you gearing up to host 'Voice Of India'?
I am not trying too hard to change my style. I shall retain what people like about my hosting.

The response to 'Voice Of India' has not been encouraging so far.
Yes, I agree that the response for the auditions has not been great. But it is because the venue was out of the way. Plus, it is a brand new show. It may take time to for the show to reach people.

Thanks for the article. Seems like Zee has already scored over Star in terms of singers.

Zee will miss Shaan, but Shaan is right in being loyal to Gajji.

of course the first season of Saregamapa may not be good with that statement.... but who knows what quality singers they were looking for and the statement is with reference to what quality of singers 😉

thanx for the artcle.....but Shaan is the best

I am definitely looking forward for voice of india in star to see Shaan again as an anchor, he has done the right thing being so loyal to the director.

Really liked the honesty of Shaan in the article.. His statement that you should be loyal to people and not organizations is so very correct.. We get bonded to organizantions because of the people we work with there.. we never leave organizations, we usually leave our managers (people)....

He has made a very pragmatic statement that the show is new a dn may take time to pick up.. but if they are able to search for quality singers, which Zee and Sony both have failed to, I think the show will become a big success... I hope that we do get to listen to some quality singers in that show

Wow Shaan, i agree with what he says and he is very honest as well.... true loyalty to Gajji, and when we think abt it, why should he be feeling guilty? We all miss him yes, but am looking forward to seeing him on Star and am sure he will be just great for that !! 😃

Can't wait to see him there, and hopefully the auditions will go better and they'll also get very good singers....

Thanks for the article Shruti 😃
