"When my name was announced for the auditions, the musicians whispered to each other that they have to play carefully as the boy is from Punjab and his notes will be different," says Harpreet Deol, the only contestant from Punjab in Zee TV's "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge-2007". He was interacting with mediapersons at a city hotel today. Harpreet, who hails from Ludhiana, is among the 12 finalists in the contest. He says the audience always does not return the right candidate and regional voting also affects the future of participants. "But voting should be based on quality and knowledge of singing. Songs are given to us on different themes. The look of the singer is then decided accordingly by the dress designer, hairstylist, etc. Though he has not yet acclimatised with Mumbai's climate and food, he strives for excellence in every round. "For me every round is important, as failure may well lead to elimination." As famous singers like Sonu Nigam, and Shriya Ghosal and others have been a product of Sa Rega Ma Pa show, the show remains prestigious for him. This season features Himesh Reshammiya, Ismail Darbar, Vishal and Shekhar, and Bappi Lahiri on the show. After having searched for talent, the four have short-listed 12 participants who are being housed in Mumbai and trained by their respective mentors. He says the show to be aired on Saturday has been shot with Salman Khan.
Harpreet urges Punjabis, especially Ludhianvis, to vote for him all along.
