"It just wasn't my day!"


It's tough to be part of a reality show, tougher still to taste success and leave it midway! No one knows it better than Panna Gill. This Indian Idol contestant was voted out of the show, despite being touted as being the complete package to be the agla Idol.

"I was very sad last night, but today, after interacting with my fans, I feel that all's not over yet! I am feeling much better right now. I was just plain unlucky on that day," says a surprisingly calm Panna, who has plans to keep doing riyaaz till he gets his break.
When asked what he misses most about Indian Idol, he says, "I miss my friends! I miss Sandeep (Acharya) who was my room mate. We used to chat a lot. I was really shocked when I was eliminated and after seeing the way Farha Khan and the others reacted, I thought I had sung well! It just wasn't my day!"
So who does he think is best suited to be the next Idol, we ask, and he hesitates, before saying, "I think Antara is a complete package. She's got the looks and she can sing well too!"
Talking about competition and rivalry amongst the participants, Panna points out, "When we go on stage, we sing for ourselves, not to win or lose! I was sad when Jolly went out, but that's how it is. I cannot question the format, but now I want o concentrate on my singing and see that I don't lose out on the start that Sony and Indian Idol has given me."http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k6/feb/15feb/news_panna.ph p

Idol threat: Panna's shocking exit
By: A hitList Correspondent
In yet another shocking elimination round, 'Ideal Indian Idol' Panna Gill was voted out of the Sony reality show last night. And he was the first finalist to go away smiling.
Like Monali Thakur, Panna did not get the chance to improvise on his performances and singing and was directly voted out of the race. He had never before been in the Bottom Three of the sweepstakes, and was a clear favourite.
The backlash
Anchor Mini Mathur was devastated, and instead of asking for the judge's reaction, said, "Panna Gill's vote out is a huge loss for Indian Idol; he was a complete package with a great heart!" While judge Farah Khan said, "I had immense faith in him. This kind of judgement is not shocking but tragic; we are losing the best talents." Anu Malik was also very upset with the result. He said, "I am shocked to see Panna out today. I don't understand what it is that the viewer's voting for."
Never say die

A true professional, Panna was practicing his last song on stage in an undertone while his pre-recorded tape was being shown on screen! "I am not going away for good… and I will not let Indian viewers forget me.
Indian Idol has given me so much that I could have never dream of."
The Bottom Three as usual shocked everyone, when, even after outstanding performances by Karunya, Sandeep and Panna, they were last in the heap. The judges though were not entirely shocked, as they had expected viewers to go against the good singers!
