Sweet memories of bygone days : Debojit Saha

Voice of India Debojit Saha recalls the days when he had to prove himself on the national stage
I must admit that I have been a wee bit selfish of late in speaking only about myself. But that is because of the simple fact that I am very engrossed in the musical reality show Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar and have hardly had any time for other work. Except, of course, shooting for a second musical reality show for Zee Bangla.

But believe me, I am having a sense of déjà vu, with the show Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar moving towards its final stages. Only three episodes remain — the first on Thursday, then on July 3 and the mega final on July 12 — and six of us remain in the fray. The competition has been real tough till now but I believe that the measure of a true human being is living up to challenges. We know that we are the best ones out there and we will do our best to win the title.

It’s been long since I have had any time to relax. Now as I sit down to write, my mind is deviating towards those days two years ago when I was singing — and fighting — for the crown of the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa music contest.

I was a newcomer at the national stage at that time and I had to prove my worth the hard way. But of the things I remember, what I hold very dear to my heart is the love and support I got from my fans and wellwishers. Those were tumultuous days for me and I was swept away by the wave of support from the people of the state and the Northeast.

I remember people congratulating me for bridging the so-called barrier between the Brahmaputra and Barak Valley districts and bringing the people of the two sides together. Though I never believed that there existed a barrier at all, but it is true that music can really unite people.

Being totally immersed in rehearsals and shooting for the show, I hardly have had any time to look beyond music in the past few weeks. However, I am leaving no stone unturned to ensure that your love and affection is not wasted. I am trying hard to live up to your expectations and triumph. Source: telegraph india

Stage set for global talent hunt : Singer Debojit Saha

Singer prepares to host Zee Bangla’s revamped music reality show
IDOL CHAT
Voice of India Debojit Saha is excited about hosting a music reality show in its new avatar and performing on another television show...

The past few days have been very hectic for me, mainly because of my commitments to two different TV shows.

First one first. The highly popular Bengali music reality show on Zee Bangla is returning after a brief gap, albeit on a much larger scale.

As the host, I am really excited about the revamped show which will be beamed as Biswa Shera (the world’s best) and has contestants from all over the world.
So far, the show had contestants from different corners of the country and this in itself was a big experience from me.

I always enjoyed the job of hosting the show, which brought in some really good talents.
I feel my job will only get tougher now with contestants coming in from all over the world.
Some of the young NRIs are more attached to their roots than us, which makes them better ambassadors of our culture.

I remember watching a young US-based girl, Mouli, who had rocked another musical reality show. A real talent, she came as a surprise in the show.

I am sure the revamped Zee Bangla show will be a real challenge, both for me and the (presumably) talented youngsters who will be vying for glory.

I am told the show will have contestants from Bangladesh, South Africa, Canada, Singapore and Kuwait, among others.

The shooting for the show will start from June 20 and the first episode will be aired on June 30.
Such shows require a lot of preparation and I am totally engrossed in it at the moment. I am quite excited about the new show and I hope you all will like it too.

Besides, I am also concentrating on my own performance in the Star Plus reality show Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar, which is now moving towards a crescendo.

With your support, I have found a place among the last eight and the real challenge lies ahead.
The other seven contestants are all very good singers and extremely talented.
I will give my best to make the Northeast proud again. Source: Telegraph India
