Excerpts of Anu Malik's interview from Mumbaimirror.com
Coming to Indian Idol… how attached do you feel to the contest?
Very attached. People see a different side of Anu Malik. They see me reciting shayari. Sonu Nigam, Farah Khan and I make a terrific trio. As for the contestants, I don't know whether Karunya will win. But he's outstanding.
Is he better than the last Indian Idol Abhijeet Sawant?
Abhijeet was good. Karunya beats every singer from the past and present. But Sandeep might just as easily become the Indian Idol. Bhagya (fate) is greater than talent. People have to vote. And they seem to support Sandeep. We can't argue with the audiences' decision. But I hope Karunya wins. Even if Sandeep becomes the Indian Idol Karunya will go far.
