Talking with media persons, Sumoyo Chakrobarty said, “My biggest turning point came when my mother left her musical career and dream so that she can give me time and one day can see me as a big singer of this country. My first Guru was my mother.”
He further said, “Indian Idol is an opportunity for me to prove myself and fulfill my family’s dreams.” Renu Nagar is a trained singer of Kirana Gharana and left studies for making it big in music industry. “My singing passion grew when I was a child and because my parents are also into music I always dreamt of becoming a singer.” She further added, “My father was the disciple of Pandit Bhimsen Joshi and he trained me in music. The best is that he treats me like a ‘son’. This really gives me inspiration and encouragement.” Renu was in top five of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa reality show as well. Adriz who is just 19 years old aspires to become famous like Arijit Singh. “Arijit Singh is my idol. We share many similarities like we belong from same city, we shared the same Guru and also have similar dreams. Indian Idol will surely provide me a platform to fulfill my dreams.” This season 10 the judges will be renowned singer and music composer Vishal Dadlani, popular singer and youth icon Neha Kakkar and the veteran singer and music director Anu Malik while the most loved Maniesh Paul helms the show as the charming host.
