Hemachandra out

Debojit receives 40 lakh SMSes from the eastern region

Subhash K Jha

Hyderbadi hero Hemachandra has been ousted from Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge. The race is now on between Debojit and Vinit.

The audience poll on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa hits an all-time high. The show's producer-director Gajendra Singh claims the show received 1 crore 25 lakh SMSes in the audience poll section. In this Thursday's episode, Tabu will be seen as the star guest. "She reacts to the lyrics and poetry like a true artiste. Her rapport with fellow-hyderabadi Hemachandra was instant," says Singh.

Once again Debojit has topped the audience poll this week, with nearly 40 lakh SMS from the Eastern region(Assam, Bengal, Bihar) alone. Regionalism is a serious problem ," says Aadesh Shrivastava, one of the judges of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. "The motto behind Sa Re Ga Ma Pa was supposed to be 'Aapki Choice India Ki Voice.' But how can it be the nation's voice when one sector corners all the votes for one candidate? I'm worried."

However, Gajendra Singh doesn't mind the regional tilt of votes. "As long as it's public opinion, we needn't question it," he says. "Debojit is a fine singer. Both Debojit and Vinit are equally worthy of winning the final round." On Friday, we'll see Subhash Ghai back on the show for the third time in a row, this time with his Shaadi Se Pehle leading man Akshaye Khanna who not only participates with the participants but also sings Nahin saamne tu from Ghai's Taal.


AND THE SPOTLIGHT IS ON…

DEBOJIT

How does it feel to be in the
final round?
It's unbelievable. I feel music has no boundaries. I don't think my support comes only from my home state.

How did you feel when your colleagues walked out protesting against support from your home state?
I felt hurt because the reason for their protest was my getting maximum votes.

Public support has been immense for you…
Have they supported me only for my singing? I think they also recognise your worth as a human being and support you accordingly. The talks about my links with a militant group in Assam was hurtful.

What if Vinit wins the finals?
I'll be very happy. If I win, fine. Otherwise whatever I've achieved through Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is more than enough.


VINIT

Now you're in the final round.
It's amazing! I still remember the auditions where I was one among lakhs. I never knew I'd get here so soon. I can't believe I'm in the final round of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.

Are you nervous about the finals?
Not at all.

You threatened to walk out because of Debojit.
Yes, but I regret it. I didn't mean to hurt Debu bhaiyya. I've apologised. I realise now that it was pointless.

Any special preparation for the grand finale on Feb 24?
There will be special rounds where the two of us will have to sing along with Sunidhi Chuahan, Kunal Ganjawala, Shaan and Shreya Ghosal. We'll have to sing their songs with them. Let's see how it goes.

thanks for sharing!!! -ohh i really feel bad for hemachandra-he indeed was a good singer but hard luck-

Thanks for the article. I am still trying to digest this news.

So it is true that Hemachandra is out. Thats sad, but he has his voice with him and all the exposure he got from SRGMP. He will go a long way.
I heard Akshaye Khanna sing that song from Taal live on stage here in USA. He was pretty good. Will look forward to that.
