"I've lost my faith in public voting"
- Bhavin DhanakBhavin Dhanak was undoubtedly one of the most talented singers in Indian Idol. His exit from the show left everyone shocked. But the guy himself is quite unshaken.
After his vote out, we found him sitting in the green room. Dressed in a blue striped shirt and cream trousers, he looked relaxed and, surprisingly, upbeat. When we asked him about his shocking elimination, he said with a sad smile: "Public voting se bharosa uth gaya hain."
Does he know why it happened? He said it could have been because he did not have a lively personality like Emon or Chang. Everyone noticed him only in the Piano Round. Although his performances were flawless (and he got amazing support and appreciation from the judges), the audiences remained oblivious to his potential. But this was not the end, he said.
So, what were his plans—going back to Dubai? No, he said, he has decided to stay back and fight it out—the mark of a truly passionate singer. So who was his idol? He said he would die to work with A R Rahman. But at the moment his aim was to return as a 'Wild Card' entry. "Let's see if I make it. If I don't, I'll go and knock on the doors of all the music directors," said the 23-year-old.
Would he consider doing stage shows? Yes, he said, it is a good way to meet your daily expenses. After all, staying in Mumbai by yourself is tough. Did he have any regrets? Bhavin looked sure when he said he did not want to change a thing. He was satisfied with his performance, but the next time, he said he would make sure that even the janta sat up and cheered.
