00:12The shot, the contest is the complete shot
00:16After the edited version of the people will be seen
00:19Every thing is low, low, low
00:21Today we are glamourised and we are also coming
00:24But we were all the pure and the right things that were also seen...
00:48Amidit, you don't know that if we talk about competition,
00:52We all know that in reality shows how judges nominate the judges or how the voting happens.
00:58So, how much of the crowd is in front of the crowd and the crowd is in front of the
01:07crowd?
01:07What is the gap between the crowd and the crowd?
01:08One thing I want to know is that the crowd is in front of the crowd,
01:18and the crowd is showing.
01:21We all know what is right and what is wrong.
01:24We all know what is right and what is wrong.
01:26Today, it has become glamourized and commercialized.
01:30Today, the crowd is coming.
01:32But when we were the people,
01:34the people were the same as pure and the same things were the same.
01:38And in the whole contest, there was no such thing that
01:42that the people were hiding,
01:44or the people were not right,
01:45or the people were showing the right way.
01:48The people were the same as the right thing.
01:49This has never happened.
01:50The competition was very pure.
01:52And the right things were always coming.
01:55What was the same in front of the crowd?
01:57The same in front of the crowd?
01:59Yes.
01:59The same in front of the crowd.
02:01The same in front of the crowd.
02:03Sometimes, we try to create something to know.
02:07Or we try to create emotions.
02:08Or we try to know something to know.
02:12This has never happened.
02:14Seriously,
02:15we would be able to feel like someone is crying.
02:18But,
02:20it has never happened.
02:22It has never happened.
02:24Now,
02:24with your colleagues,
02:27you have said that you are better.
02:29There are other singers who are good.
02:31So,
02:32what was the feeling of you?
02:34And you really believe that
02:36you have a chance to get your chance?
02:39I always believe that
02:42there are better singers in our competition.
02:46Rahul Vaidyao,
02:47Amit Sanaa,
02:48Rahul Saksana.
02:49There are many people who were highly talented.
02:53Obviously,
02:54I started my career.
02:55For three years,
02:56I was learning classical.
02:57They were learning many years.
02:59They were professionalism.
03:00They were professionalized in their work.
03:02I have a lot of people that were traveling around.
03:05But,
03:06I have to say,
03:06I am passionate about it.
03:08Because,
03:08I always try to do something different.
03:12I always try to do something new and choose from.
03:15There are many things.
03:20It was really good.
03:21How lucky are you, Abhijit, when you started, you had a chance to learn from the youth,
03:30who are the single people, who are inspired by you.
03:33So, how good is Abhijit and Abhijit?
03:36Can you see a difference from the first time?
03:42The difference is very big.
03:43There are many changes.
03:46What difference do you see?
03:48First of all, professionalism has increased.
03:52First of all, I was a normal girl.
03:54We were always struggling in the industry.
03:56We had to meet some directors in the industry.
03:59Today, it doesn't matter.
04:00Today, everyone knows.
04:01When we do phone calls, we behave with love.
04:05This is a great advantage,
04:08that people have responded to us.
04:11People have got a lot of love in this whole life.
04:15We have to do whatever the situation is.
04:17We have to do better.
04:18And we have to do better.
04:21It's important to do better.
04:24And it's important to do better.
04:28We have to do better.
04:38And hopefully, it will improve further.
04:40like before.
04:41Now we have to go to the picture, sometimes we will go to the picture.
04:46Now the Ajat has called the phone and asked,
04:48let's go to the daddu.
04:50So we will go to the picnic.
04:52So I don't go.
04:54But we are attached now.
04:57It's like a family.
04:58It's a family.
05:00There are problems and we want to share happy moments.
05:04We are feeling happy.
05:05Abhijit Khan, play back singing.
05:09What do you do?
05:11I started the play back.
05:14I was born with you.
05:16I was born with you.
05:17I was born with you.
05:19After that, I did a film.
05:21I did the film.
05:24I was born with you.
05:26I was born with you.
05:27I was born with you.
05:31I was born with you.
05:47That's nice, that's what I've done today.
05:51Who do you think of your idol in music?
05:55In music, I've always inspired a lot of people.
05:59I've also recognized my idol, Sonu Negam and Kishore Kumar.
06:04Do you like the song?
06:07I like the song of Sonu.
06:09I like the song of Sonu.
06:23It's a very touching song.
06:40Yes, I really like this song.
06:42And Kishore Dhaji?
06:43Kishore Dhaji is one of my favorite songs.
06:50We love it.
06:53I like the song of Sonu.
07:08It's a very special song.
07:12I like the song that I've done.
07:15I like the song that I've done.
07:15I like the song that I've done.
07:16Classically touched, or, you know,
07:19different from a different style.
07:21But if you have both songs,
07:23they are very simply by the style,
07:26but they are very meaningful.
07:28And the way these singers have
07:30these simple songs, they are very beautiful.
07:33I think that is the speciality of these songs.
07:37They are saying words in these days.
07:39If you are wrong,
07:40they don't have the meaning in life.
07:43So, I think that was the plus point,
07:46because I followed them more.
07:48What do you think about your parents today?
07:52What do you think about them today?
07:55My parents are still normal.
07:57They are a very middle class kind of.
07:58They are still in their mentality.
08:02If I am out of here,
08:03I would forget to call me at home.
08:06They are not that freedom.
08:08There are many problems.
08:11But this is a life.
08:12And the family,
08:13as much attached to you,
08:14and as much simple as you are,
08:16you have to be able to grow up.
08:19Now, there are a lot of female fans.
08:22Okay?
08:25You have to be a lot of fashion,
08:27and you have to be a lot of guidance.
08:29So, did you get any kind of incident
08:32when you have done live performances?
08:33or do you have done live performances?
08:38Or do you have done live performances?
09:03So, it was a different experience.
09:06It was a different experience.
09:08It was a different experience.
09:11It was a different experience.
09:12It was a different experience.
09:12But I always took it positive.
09:15It was the most embarrassing moment.
09:16when I had a lot of love letters.
09:20I had a lot of love letters.
09:21I had a lot of fan mails.
09:24One time, I had a great greeting card.
09:29And I had written a lot of things.
09:32And that was my mother.
09:34And I had heard it.
09:35And I had heard it.
09:36And I had heard it.
09:37You are my one.
09:38You are my one.
09:39So, it was a really embarrassing moment.
09:41My mother was reading all of this.
09:44But it was good when fans
09:46like this,
09:49and following us today.
09:50How much do you feel for Riyadh?
09:53I always try to give it at least one hour.
09:56It was that time when we were sitting
09:59and sitting and sitting.
10:02It was our time to sit on Riyadh.
10:06So, it wasn't that time.
10:07It wasn't that easy.
10:09It wasn't that easy.
10:11But at least one hour,
10:12I had to give it at least one day.
10:13What do you want to say?
10:14Do you have any message from Lehera?
10:18I want to say all of the Lehera.
10:21As you have supported me
10:23and as you have always loved me,
