Debojit and Vinit live in Delhi...

But the crowds don't seem to need any prompting. They go berserk for Vinit. Truck-loads of girls have arrived, many in school uniforms. They scream Vinit's name as though their life depended on it. Gifts are heaped on him from all sides. One young woman catches hold of Vinit and kisses him. Vinit looks shocked.
But the best it yet to come! A young woman comes forward with a parcel. "This is something I've bought for you with my first salary," she thrusts the offering to Vinit. The star of the evening looks confused. He smiles nervously.
Half-way through the performance, crowds break the barricade and head towards the stage. Debojit looks pleased. Vinit looks alarmed. The crowd heads towards Vinit and pushes him down. Vinit falls and quickly picks himself up.
"Imagine a 17-year old boy from a small town, suddenly faced with super-stardom. Imagine what it must be doing to his head. Vinit needs to remain grounded," Gajendra Singh whispers.
The show wraps up at 10 pm. Vinit seems stunned by the experience. "I never thought such attention is possible. It's enough to turn anyone's head. I'm going back with a bagful of gifts from people I never knew!"
He shows a maturity way beyond his years when he confides. "I'm worried about my voice. It hasn't yet changed with puberty. And it's being put under so much strain. I'm guarding it as best as I can. But yes, I feel the strains of puberty in my vocal chords."When you tell him that the attention he got in Kolkata was much larger than his competitor, Vinit smiles shyly. "I'll have to agree with you. Now let's see what happens in Delhi tomorrow."

The venue was the Ansal Plaza in Delhi. A crowd of about 20,000 fans thronged the venue chanting Vinit's name.The evening was meant to be a concert to spotlight the two Sa Re Ga Ma Pa finalists Debojit and Vinit. But, it turned out to be an impromptu platform for the ousted contestant Himani Kapoor to shine. Himani was suddenly brought on at the fag-end of the show at 9:45 pm, fifteen minutes before closing time. The crowds went berserk.
Apparently Himani got more appreciation for her 15-minute appearance than what the others received for the rest of the show. "I wouldn't like to say that," says Himani. "But it was all unexpected. I'm glad they decided to include me in the concert. I never thought it would turn out the way it did. I had time to perform only one number Sajna ve (from Chameli). I'd have preferred to sing something dreamier. But going by the concert's mood, I guess the tempo was timely. It caught on."
