Indian Idol 12 Contestants Appreciation Thread #5 - Page 16

I saw paras Roriyal’s iG live he posted. Looks like him, Tushar, Sahil, Pawan and Aru went to Santa Cruz. The 3 boys are on the beach and PD and Aru went further he said. I think there might be couple other people from the gang with them too.I hope Pawan didn’t drive! I saw he was driving in Dallas! He might have international driving license but still not worth the risk.

Some of the others including Suraj sir went to San Francisco. Wonder why PD and gang didn’t go to SFO instead of Santa Cruz. That might go to SFO tomorrow I guess.

I don’t know how to post a pic here but I saw this on Suraj sir’s Insta story:

Not sure what is IWDA but SMP got this Lata Mangeshkar National award 👏👏👏

Maybe Pawandeep is more comfortable with his older friends than with Danish and Sayli - which would not be surprising, considering they would have been together through their struggling days (it is as not as if they have made it in life, but I mean the days of even more struggle). Plus there is no danger of stealthy recordings for vlogs, because the trust is bound to be high.

For Arunita, I remember her mother said in an interview that she (mother) was really happy that Arunita made a lot of friends of her age after coming to Indian Idol. It appears to me from the various videos we have seen so far, that she (and Darshini, for that matter) have made really good friendships with this gang - Sahil, Tushar, Paras. She may therefore have felt that a trip with this gang would be more enjoyable than with Danish, Sayli, Suraj Rosario. The second point mentioned above (about stealth) definitely applies to her too, probably more so.

Yes, it was posted on the SMP thread that she was going to receive that award.

Congratulations to her!

I have been thinking about what next for Arunita, Pawandeep and Nihal in case their playback careers don't really take off big time.

I have a feeling that we will see a band consisting of Pawandeep, Paras, Tushar, Sahil, Nihal and Arunita. 6 is usually 2 people too many in a band, with 4 being the ideal size and 5 at a stretch. But taking just these 6 people into account, this could be a well balanced band. Paras, Tushar and Sahil have set roles, anyway. Arunita can be the much needed female voice - and a rare versatile female voice. Nihal and PD can alternate as the male voice, with both of them also alternating on instruments while the other is singing. PD can provide the percussions, acoustic / rhythm guitar and keyboard, while Nihal can provide the acoustic / rhythm guitar and keyboard.

This feeling is based on the fact that these people are all comfortable in each other's company and seem to share a good on-stage understanding as well.

I really don't want Arunita to be a part of any band.

And that band is not suitable for Arunita special melodies.

I understand your point, and I agree that a lot can be changed to make it more amenable to her kind of singing.

I was just speculating about the possibilities, not about whether that is the right thing for her or not.

Personally, I believe that she is blessed just the way Shreya Ghoshal is, and is the only one who can truly take over from Shreya Ghoshal, and that is where I would want to see her.

Have to admit fan pages are very vigilant.

Arunita has posted an IG story today and used a Pahadi (probably Kumaoni) song as background.

Turns out Pawandeep was singing this same song in a video posted by his friend Jyotiprakash Bagwari (owner of the BMW) yesterday or day before. The video is old (located in Uttarakhand) but was posted yesterday or day before.

This fan page has posted both clips together.

And I am still waiting for a Arunita-Nihal duet. I was hoping to get one in UK concert but it didn’t happen!
I had really liked Aru’s duet with Nachiket. They both seemed carefree and enacted pretty well. I think their voices matched well too. I didn’t like her duet with Danish or even Ashish.
