'I never watch Fame X on television'
Says Palash Sen, who finds his role as the Dean of Fame X Academy very fulfiling

He is unaware of the drama the show Fame X on SAB is generating. "I never watch the episodes on television as I want it to be as real as possible. Since I am the dean, I have to guide and groom some of the nicest kids. This has been the happiest thing that has happened to me since the formation of my band," says Palash, visibly very attached to his students. He adds, "Two teachers, Brother D'souza and Pokhriyal Sir, really shaped my life for the better. Like them, I too, in my own small way, want to guide my students." Though Palash thinks the world of his 'talented' students, judges Daler Mehndi and Ganesh Hedge constantly belt out scathing criticism. In fact, Daler very dramatically had challenged his kids to perform better. Does this bother him? "Not at all! It's their job to criticise and find flaws, and mine to encourage and motivate—this maintains a healthy balance. Also, personally I like taking up challenges," answers the lead singer of Euphoria. He does confess that initially the students took the harsh words to heart. "Yes, earlier they did get disturbed by criticism, but anybody who has made a mark in life has braved through opposition and challenges. I still face criticism for my kind of music which the purists don't believe in. Ultimately, if you have belief in yourself, others will start believing in you As a teacher, I want to make my students not just better singers but also emotionally stronger," shares Palash who has been successfully juggling his medical practice with his musical career. His New Year resolution is to make the kids stronger and even better at what they are doing. "I want to inculcate a fighting spirit in them. And personally, I would like to become a calmer person." Does he see himself being in touch with his students five years down the line? "This is not just for the show—it's real. The students who have been evicted are still in touch with me on a daily basis. I am a great fan of all of them! And my next Euphoria album will feature all of them!" he declares. No wonder all his students echo — 'To Sir, with love'. To watch the bond between Palash Sen and his students, tune in to Fame X on SAB, Monday to Thursday, 9 pm and at 10 pm on Friday.
