Reality shows give a much-needed platform to all the contestants. Indian Idol is such a show which is known for providing a push for aspiring singers. It has helped in framing the career of many singers such as Abhijeet Sawant, Monali Thakur and Rahul Vaidya.
Today, we’ll be taking a look at the top contestants of Indian Idol season 1 and their current whereabouts.
Abhijeet brought home the trophy for the first season of Indian Idol. The singer’s voice was loved by the judges and audience, and to date, he has a loyal fan following. After winning the show, Abhijeet dropped many albums and sang a few popular Bollywood songs. Recently, the singer’s name popped into the Indian Idol 12 controversy. He said that the makers of the show concentrate more on the contestant’s backstory rather than their singing skills and talent. On the work front, Abhijeet isn’t much active now.
Amit Sana, the boy with a golden voice, was the first runner-up of the show. After the show, he dropped some music albums such as Yaadien and Chal Diye. In 2010, he tried composing songs. However, he took a break from it and tried to understand his audience’s preference. Currently, he is trying to focus on singing and concentrating on becoming a better playback singer.
Rahul Vaidya was the second runner-up in the first season of Indian Idol. After the show, Rahul dropped a few songs. However, he gained popularity recently after he won the 13th season of Bigg Boss. He is also part of Khatron Ke Khiladi 11, which will premiere this month. He shot for KKK in Cape Town. In other news, the singer is all set to get married this week to Disha Parmar. He is the most active among all Indian Idol 1 contestants.
Prajakta Shukre was the third runner-up of the show. Her first single post-Indian Idol, Dhakka, was a huge hit. Nowadays, she is quite active on YouTube, where she teaches music lessons on her channel. Her last Bollywood song was Dankila song from Manikarnika.
