It was a honor to be the only person from USA to be selected in Saregamapa auditions when Bappida came calling. My family decided to travel with me to India and my parents are staying with me in Mumbai to encourage me. Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is a very popular show in US and I knew that it will give me a great platform to perform in front of so many people . I just hoped that I will be able to do well in the show and fulfill the expectations of my family.
When I boarded on the plane to India in US to participate in Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa , never in my wildest dreams did I think that I will garner so much attention .After I sang the "Mayya Mayya" " song from the movie Guru in the first episode , it is heartening to see so many people appreciating me after seeing the programme in the website and in the blog. Ever since my first performance in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007, there have been a lot of expectations from me and I am striving hard to match those expectations from all of you. It becomes rather hard once the expectations rise as there is a lot of pressure on you emotionally . I have been trying my best to give a similar performance but I am not perfect as so many of my fans think . Bappida is helping me to polish my skills and I am still learning from Bappida and other mentors.
Bappi Da as everyone fondly calls him is one of the nicest human beings I have ever met in my life. I am working very hard for the upcoming episodes and Bappi Da is making sure that he is helping me in every possible way. I was really touched when he invited me over to his house for dinner and made me perform in front of huge personalities like Jeetendra Ji, Rakesh Roshan Ji, Rishi Kapoor Ji and Neetu Ji. It was a honor to perform in front of so many great personalities. It was a great experience to be introduced to so many well known people from the industry and along with these expectations are also rising. My ultimate dream is to sing for the A R Rahman one day.
I just want to maintain the support of my fans and I would definitely do well with their support and appreciation. The audience is my pillar of strength and without them I am incomplete. I check my blogs and messages regularly and I may not be able to reply to each and every comment but I would like to tell everyone that it is heartening to go through your comments and appreciation mails in the blog.
A big thanks and that I love all of you!!
