27 Aug 2021

Updated: Aug 27, 2021 - 10:22 AM IST Indian Idols popular host singer Aditya Narayan always dreamt of winning a Grammy for India. Thats what he will work on now. Says Aditya, I am quitting hosting music reality shows. Since 2015 I have been hosting non-stop. Also by the grace of God, one season that I am a part of is equivalent to 2-3 seasons if someone else were to host. Since 2015 Ive hosted 4 seasons of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, thats 170 episodes. 2 seasons of Indian Idol amounting to 120 episodes, 1 season of Khatra Khatra Khatra a total of 110 episodes. Thats a grand total of 400 episodes. Other shows that Ive hosted are Khatron Ke Khiladi, Rising Star, Entertainment Ki Raat, Kitchen Champion, Zee Comedy Show. Coming up with me as host are another season of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, another season of Indian Idol ,and another kids singing show.Says Aditya, Now Im done with hosting shows. Its time to move on to something much bigger in my life. I wish to produce content now.Music albums as well as content for OTT & TV. Its the right time. My heart is sure that this is what I want to do. Its also time to work on my childhood dream of winning a Grammy for India. All eyes are on India. Its our time to shine globally. We just need to put our heads down and put in the hard work.Aditya senses the decline in popular musical standards in India and wants to rectify the imbalance. Just because a wave is going a particular way and its is working for a few people doesnt mean we all follow suit. There are followers and then there are visionaries Id like to think of myself as the latter.

Maintaining a cool demeanour Aditya says, Our producers Sony, Fremantle & TCT along with the entire team are thrilled with the love and success of the current season. This is the most watched reality show in the entire past decade. We want to focus on that. We would rather not think about the negativity.Aditya also points out that the current season of Indian Idol is about to end. We are in the last four weeks of the show. We want to wrap up the season with love and positivity. Aditya assures there is no pressure on judges to say good things about the contestants, Everyone who is giving quotes on being persuaded to be positive about Indian Idol contestants are colleagues and friends. Let me assure them, as long as I am hosting Indian Idol, no one here needs to praise anyone for the heck of it. Be yourself, say what you want and just come visit our show and bless us. I speak only for myself. I cant speak on behalf of other seasons as the team / production was entirely different.What plans for the Grand Finale of Indian Idol? Well, as of now we are just glad to be back in Mumbai. Of course it comes with its own set of limitations and restrictions but we are planning a huge finale befitting the level of talent seen and heard this season. Having all the judges back for the finale will be great along with esteemed members of the music and film fraternity.

Speaking cheerfully Aditya says, We are both doing great. Shweta has also tested negative last week. Our staff members who had also tested positive have all tested negative. Our household is clear of Covid, touchwood.Aditya however warns not to get complacent even if you have tested positive for Covid and conquered it. It can come back any time. We will continue to exercise all precautions. Adityas dad singer Udit Narayan and mother Deepa are so far Covid free.In the first week of April, Aditya was hospitalized for a few days. He had said, Parts of my body were in unbearable pain and I was in tears the first night. Thought I had messed up at gym. I didnt suspect Covid as only the right lower-half was in pain at first, which was already not in good shape because of my calf tear last month. I had skipped a week of shooting for Indian Idol too.He further admitted that he felt it coming for a while now. Its pretty complicated. But apparently the Covid virus has been in my system for a while. It took some time to show up in the tests. I am told sometimes the virus takes time to show up in the tests. The only certainty about this virus is that theres no certainty.

I still got the virus. So basically, one cant be too careful.Aditya is still in quarantine, still to get himself tested to ascertain if he is COVID-19 negative. Its now 18 days since I was detected COVID-19 positive. So Ill be tested on Monday when it would be 3 weeks.When told he was much missed on Indian Idol, Aditya replies, Thats good to hear. I also miss being part of the show and cant wait to return.In his absence, Rekha came visiting to Indian Idol. Says Aditya, Rekhaji is epic. She is a memorable experience.In the meanwhile, Aditya is still trying to convince his father Udit Narayan to take the vaccine. We are on a family video call trying to convince dad. I dont want to l imagine my grandmother and my parents going through what I have specially during the first 5-6 days after getting the virus.
