Wadkar wants Amey, Ravi to better Vaidya

About Ravi and Ameya

Though Ravi stays in Wadkar's gurukul Ajivasan in Juhu (which has hostel facility), Wadkar is fair, "I love both Ameya and Ravi equally. It's just that Ravi is from Lucknow, so he stays in Ajivasan. Ameya is from Mumbai, and hence goes back home. But yes, both have been learning under me extensively."

The 29-year old Ravi has been learning from Wadkar since ten years. "He had joined MBBS in Lucknow, but uska man nahin laga. He came here to pursue singing as a career." On the other hand, the 26-year old Ameya has been under Wadkar's wings since he was nine years old.

Wadkar, whose wife Padma has also had a major hand in training Vaidya,January 17, 2006and Tripathi, cannot decide who will do better of the two in the gala rounds. He signs off by simply saying, "Both have an equal chance. Both are equally talented and passionate in their singing. Let the public decide."
