How much does Rahul Vaidya earn now?

Friends, Any idea How much our Previous participants of SRGMP are earning??? how much Zee Network giving them??

go thru the what SONY channel is providing to some of its contestants 😊😊

Reality television promised riches and fame to contestants. Has it delivered?

Here is a look at how a few reality show contestants -- who didn't win but were in the top five -- are doing. In their own words.

Rahul Vaidya, 18, Indian Idol contestant

I was in higher secondary when I participated in Indian Idol. I was also learning singing at the Suresh Wadekar Institute. I did not complete my studies after Indian Idol because I was too tied up.

After the show, my life changed.

The Sony BMG contract was for stage shows and albums and Sony Television gives us money every three months.

I am 18 and I am earning more then Rs 10 lakh (Rs 1 million) per month.

Aditi Paul, 26, Indian Idol contestant

After the reality show, I started doing stage shows with Sony BMG. I have a two-year contract. I have finished my first year. After this, my actual struggle will start. I have started calling up music directors. I have still not sung for any movies, though I have sung for serials.

I charge Rs 100,000 for a show. I do at least four shows a month.

Rex D'souza, 24, Fame Gurukul contestant

I was doing stage shows with Johnny Lever and working at a call centre before I participated in Fame Gurukul. Now I am doing stage shows. Next month I am going to the US, UK and Canada with (Fame Gurukul winner) Qazi Tauqeer.

Sony Television gives me Rs 300,000 every three months. I also earn from the stage shows that we are doing. I earn about Rs 300,000 to Rs 400,000 every month. I have bought a new house and am also renovating my old house.

Amey Date, 26, Indian Idol 2 contestant

I was a singer and was teaching vocals before I participated in Indian Idol 2. Now I am doing stage shows. I am also planning an album. I have sung bits in two movies, Colour Red and Divorce. After Indian Idol people know me so they call me with singing offers like jingles, album songs and stage shows. But I have still not got any big offers as such.

I am earning around Rs 100,000 per month. I have bought a car. But I still live in a rented house. All my loans -- that I took during Indian Idol 2 -- have been repaid.

Anuj Sharma, 31, Indian Idol 2 contestant
Before participating in Indian Idol 2, I was singing in regional albums -- I had about 20 audio albums and four video albums. (But) People started recognising me after Indian Idol 2 -- I started getting stage shows.

I earn approximately Rs 100,000 per month from stage shows. I am planning to buy a house in Mumbai.

No idea if Zee gives them anything.

I am surprised to see that Amey hasn't gotten any big offers yet despite being so talented.

I beg to differ.. Amey is Best 😊😊

I m sure SRGMP top five singers have earned much more than this........ 😃

Wow - these kids are really earning a lot a money.. Good for them 😊

But I read somewhere that stage-shows is where all the money.. When some of tehse singers sing for a movie, it seems they dont get more that 5K per song... But I am not sure how true that information was 😕

you are right Jaya, they earn most from stage shows..

I read Saif saying He bought his home from the money he earned from stage show.. 😊
