We are friends and we will be friends: Prashant, Amit

Till the last few minutes before Prashant Tamang was declared the third Indian Idol, Amit Paul and him, the best of friends, kept holding hands. And when Prashant won the title, the happiness and joy was noticeable on Amit’s face too. I am really happy that my best friend has won the title, so what if I did not win, it has gone to the same house as he is my family, Amit told. To me both of us are winners and I would have been happy even if Amit would have won it, he has been with me since the beginning, added Prashant. Now, the doors are open, the birds are flying and the world is colourful for both of them after this dream-come-true event. While Prashant got a one-year contract with contest organisers Sony, Amit is confident that he will also get a number of opportunities. Now there is no looking back, I want to win the hearts of millions of people with the help of my talent and I hope this will happen, Amit maintained. But for Prashant there is a matter of concern: he has to take permission from his Kolkota police employers to make his passion a profession. I will go back to Kolkota and take the permission of my seniors to go on singing, he said. Prashant, a 24-year-old Kolkata constable of Nepali origin, hails from Darjeeling, while Amit, also 24, is from Shillong.The two singers have different expectations from Indian Idol-4 next year. One says it’s the best as it is and the other feels changes are required. I don’t think any change is required. Indian Idol is best as it is, said Amit. Prashant felt the contest should go to small towns too as there is a lot of talent there. Till the time they explore this they won’t find the true talent. Prashant attributed the bulk of his 70 million SMSs to his friends in the Kolkota police and to Mayor TB Rai of Mirik town in West Bengal. I am really thankful to my Kolkota police friends who encouraged me to participate in the show, he said.

hello guys i m from pakistan, i have been watching indian idol 3 for several months. i liked the contestants but not the elimination criteria which was based on votes, it should be upon judges 's opinion. i m not happy with the final result, because amit paul deserved the title and not prashant. title went to him only bcoz of votes. it is not fair. for last several weeks all the judges were agreed that amit is the best candidate for indian idol but the decision system was not correct.

ujala said...

hi
i m totly agree with Kaniz-abas yes u r right judges are only wasting there time

eman said...

hi,

i m agree with kaniz-abbas and ujala both are right.voting system should be divide in 2 parts 4 one 4 public and 1 part for judges bcz public is not professional in sense of music but judges are professional and their statement is more valid then public.

rabina said...

well well guys....lets not talk about shud be.....it was the criteria of indian idol that the 1 who gets more vote is the winner and Prashant is the 1 to get more vote so he's the winner...wats the doubt in it?thats why he is titled the Indian Idol...if you (ujala) dont wanna hear the fact then u shud get some treatment i guess.... and if u think amit is more talented theres a long way for him as well, Prashant is no 1 to scratch his talent from him..life hasnt ended...he can get success in his life through talent n of course prashant can as well...prashant won b'coz of vote of foolish ppl according to u n amit lost bcoz of not voting from u lazy ppl.
but if we talk about the contest according to its criteria….PRASHANT is the winner and its his greatness that he hugged his nearest cotestent even after he won ,as he think frenship is more important...than any other contests.
