Singer Abhijeet Sawant, winner of the first 바카라Indian Idol바카라, in a recent interview said that his career didn바카라t exactly turn out as he expected because he was always burdened with the tag of being a reality show winner.
Sawant won the first season of the reality show, defeating Amit Sena. He said that music directors would assume he had several offers and in turn never consider him for projects.Â
Sawant mentioned that this is like a curse which all the reality show contestants are stuck with, especially the winners. He then also talked about why other show winners like Shreya Ghoshal and Sunidhi Chauhan have had a successful career but not him.Â
He told Bollywood Hungama, 바카라The playback industry offers a lot of opportunities, but at the same time, you need guidance and a godfather. You have to understand, in this industry, singers don바카라t have much power. We don바카라t have any control. I remember a story, I was struggling after Indian Idol, and I went for a meeting at a studio. A large crowd gathered outside, and the music director had to come and see what all the commotion was about. It바카라s a strange situation to be in; on the one hand you바카라ve come asking for work, but on the other, people are desperate to catch a glimpse of you.바카라
On numerous occasions, music directors assumed that Sawant wasn바카라t facing any problems. Sawant said, 바카라This is the main issue. People are a little hesitant to accept reality show contestants, especially winners.바카라
Talking about careers of others like Ghoshal and Chauhan, Sawant said, 바카라They came in the batch before Indian Idol. Even Kunal Ganjawala. Reality shows were very different back then. And their shows never became as big as Indian Idol바카라Š This is the baggage and pressure that I, especially, have had to go through.바카라
Sawant has sung for films like 바카라Aashiq Banaya Apne바카라, 바카라Tees Maar Khan바카라 and 바카라Dishoom바카라. His latest single was with Shahzeb Tejani titled 바카라Tera Rishta바카라.Â
