There is not a single Indian Idol winner or runners up who has made a mark in Bollywood or audio visual industry. Why? 😕


I found this photo from facebook. Two Bangladeshi went to visit India and they met with Abhijeet Sawant in Mumbai. 😊

I loved Abhijeet Sawant a lot . I rooted him during Indian Idol . And He was ACTUALLY very very Famous at that time . His Music Album got soo Popular . He Sang in some 1-2 Songs in Bolly movies But Sill Don't know Why he couldn't make it Big in Bollywood like Arijit .

Yeah, I find it strange, too.
I always thought Rahul Vaidya (2nd runner up) would make it big as his voice is a like Sonu Nigam's.

Actually Monali Thakur has sung quite a few Bollywood songs and recently acted in the movie Lakshmi as a lead as well!

Monali Thakur has done well for herself. She wasn't in the top 3 though.

crazy voting don't show cast career and talent, but only the current popularity at that stage.

Poor Sandeep Acharya,winner of Indian Idol 2, who passed away because of jaundice. I recall rooting for Karunya - but liking Sandeep's personality nonetheless.
