Saregamapa Little Champs Contestant Rohit Shyam’s Interview

Saregamapa show contestants surely get a lot of fame and become a household name.. He is young, energetic, fresh and full of life. Rohit Shyam Raut, one of the participants of Sa Ra Ga Ma Pa Lâ€™il Champ, a reality show aiming to find the new singing talent. The programme is aired on Zee TV every Friday and Saturday at 10 pm.Â

Q: When did you begin singing and did you receive any formal training?
Rohit: I began my singing at the age of three and got the privilege of learning under able guidance of my guru Pandit Vitthalrao Jagtap. From an early age, I was inclined towards singing and used to sing songs as a hobby, but looking at my talent, my father inspired me and now this hobby has turned into a passion.

Q: How do you manage singing and studies both at the same time?
A: For this competition, my concentration is solely on singing and for the time being studies are on the backfoot.

Q: Where do you think you stand among your competitors and who is your toughest competitor?
A: I have a fair chance among others. I know my strong and weak points. Sagar, Aamir, Anamika, Vasundhara, and Smita are capable of giving me a close fight.

Q: What are the negative and positive aspects of your singing?
A: First let me start with the negative one. I easily come under pressure, if a contestant performs well and receives wide applause, the pressure increases on me to perform better or at least at par with him. The positive aspects are numerous. I am basically a classical singer and if one can learn classical, one can master anything. My high pitch notes are my strongest point.

Q: Being born and brought up in Nagpur, what do you like most about the city?
A: I am visiting Nagpur after a gap of two years and I find the city much cleaner and greener as well. And I love the thing for what our Nagpur is famous for - oranges and â€˜orange burfiâ€™.

Q: Do you think reality shows are a good platform to make you a known singer?
A: Of course. Earlier we used to sing in our colony or at school and the audiences were limited. Now, with so much exposure through this programme, I have become a known face throughout the country.

Q: How do you prepare for a particular song in a competition?
A: We get little time to prepare for a song. We have Mukesh Parmar and Sanjay Vidyarthi, who are working relentlessly on our sur and tal. First I learn and remember the lyrics, then I work on getting the pitch and notes right. As â€˜practice makes a man perfectâ€™, I practice throughout the day till I receive perfection.

Q: Apart from singing what are your other hobbies?
A: I like drawing and I have received an award earlier. I also like composing music.

Q: Who is your inspiration? And with whom would you like to share the mike?
A: Some day I would like to compose music with Ismail Darbar. Suresh Wadkar and Sonu Nigam are my idols and it is my dream to share the stage with them and also with Alka Yagnik and Shreya Ghoshal.

Q: Are you satisfied with the voting system? How would you woo the audience?
A: See, today people are smart enough to make a correct judgment and my talent will do the talking and as for the voting system, it is fair enough. Apart from singing, we are groomed to be made presentable under the guidance of Charuvyas Naik and you would see the change in me in the coming episodes.Â And you certainly need to have the X-factor in you to charm everyone and I think I have that in me.

I’m very impressed by ur answers Rohit..
All the best to you Rohit…
I’m sure you’ll be one of the top three…
Just work on ur negative points and overcome them and you’ll be the top..

I really want to appreciate the work of Mukesh Parmer and Sanjay Vidyarthi.
Its really tough to teach the kids as compared to elders. May God bless them too for their wonderful work..
Hats off to all the creative team of saregamapa and ofcourse the legends Sonuji and Sureshji..

And thankyou saregamapa for choosing the best judges ever..Everything is going harmoniously now…

Lastly,
I wish “Best of Luck” to all the cute lil champs.
May God bless you all…
