After months of trial and tribulation, Debojit emerged victorious in the keenly contested Sa Re Ga Ma Pa leaving the other contestant Vinit stunned. Vinit who hails from Lucknow didn't know what hit him.
"I'm very happy for Debu bhaiyya. He has worked hard to get where he has. But I don't understand what happened. Of course I wanted to win and I was pretty sure I would," adds Vinit, in tears at the outcome.
In fact, Debojit's victory came as a surprise to the entire team. Another contestant Himani is equally baffled. "I always felt Vinit would win. He had the confidence and the edge too. Everyone liked Vinit. So what went wrong?" she says.
Vinit, although dejected, is confident about the future. "There are so many contestants from Indian Idol and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa who didn't quite make it to the top," he justifies. "But today they're doing just fine and are on their way to success. By God's grace I'm already recording songs with my mentor Himeshji. Sa Re Ga Ma Pa gave me a headstart. Now let's see where I go from here."
Like Vinit, many of the runners-up and finalists from Sa Re Ga Ma Pa are in two minds about going into its follow-up Ek Main Aur Ek Tu. "It's a programme of leftovers," sneers an undisclosed runner-up.
