A
crazy
fan
can
do
the
most
amazing
things
that
others
would
find
rather
surprising.
That
is
what
yet
another
Kishore
Kumar
fan
did
recently
to
pay
his
heartfelt
tribute
to
the
legendary
singer.
We
are
talking
about
none
other
than
Amit
Paul,
the
finalist
of
Indian
Idol
3,
who
had
a
humble
request
-
that
he
should
be
given
an
opportunity
to
enter
as
a
challenger
on
the
popular
show
'K
for
Kishore'
on
Sony
Entertainment
Television.
For
Amit,
this
is
the
best
way
he
can
contribute
in
memory
of
his
"God
Kishore
Kumar".
Amit
Paul,
who
has
had
the
entire
nation
backing
him
and
has
seen
the
mass
frenzy
created
by
loyal
fans,
strongly
felt
the
need
to
be
a
part
of
the
show.
He
defied
everyone
who
tried
to
talk
him
out
of
the
competition
and
took
part
as
a
challenger
(entry
thro'
any
one
gateway
-
Tata
Indicom,
Radio
Mirchi
or
IBN
7)
in
Sony
Entertainment
Television's
unique
concept
and
popular
show
'K
for
Kishore'.
At
the
concert
in
Indore
he
joined
the
other
two
challengers
and
sang
to
a
crowd
of
over
2000
people
who
cheered
him
all
through
the
performance.
What
came,
as
a
surprise
to
the
judges
was
that
Amit
Paul's
passionate
singing
of
Kishoreda's
songs
and
the
tremendous
courage
he
showed
by
entering
as
one
of
the
challengers.
His
flawless
singing
of
Kishoreda's
songs
got
him
the
'Music
Company
Sa
Re
Ga
Ma'
trophy
for
'Mach
Gaya
Shor',
'Har
Taraf
Kishore'
award
at
Indore.
Chetan
Rana,
one
of
the
participants
on
the
show,
shared
the
award
with
him.
It
is
interesting
to
note
that
the
entry
of
the
challengers
is
only
making
the
competition
tougher
and
reaffirming
the
increasing
Kishore
Kumar
fan
following
and
their
keenness
to
be
a
part
of
'K
for
Kishore'.
The
other
two
challengers
in
Indore
were
K
Shailendra
from
Jhansi,
a
die-hard
Kishoreda
fan
and
a
professional
singer
himself;
and
Naveen
Srivastava,
an
exporter
from
Motihari
in
Bihar,
whose
knowledge
in
music
comes
from
his
parents
who
sing
folk
songs.
However,
for
Shailendra
and
Naveen
singing
became
a
passion
and
they
soon
followed
their
hearts
putting
their
personal
desires
on
hold.
Shailendra
left
his
MBA
half
way
to
pursue
singing.
Incidentally,
both
started
their
careers
in
singing
with
Kishore
Kumar
songs
and
till
date
they
remain
faithful
to
the
legend.
'K
for
Kishore' has
recreated
the
magic
of
the
legend
Kishore
Kumar.
Kishore
Kumar
is
irreplaceable
and
continues
to
inspire
generations
of
singers,
performers
and
music
lovers.
The
concerts
in
memory
of
the
legendary
singer-'Machh
Gaya
Shor',
'Har
Taraf
Kishore',
(entry
with
passes
only)
held
in
Kolkata
and
Indore
on
two
consecutive
weekends
received
overwhelming
response
with
over
2000
Kishoreda
fans
attending
the
concerts.
With
eminent
judges
like
popular
music
director
and
singer
Bappi
Lahiri,
who
knew
Kishoreda
as
a
friend
and
musician,
singer
Sudesh
Bhonsale,
who
completed
all
Kishoreda's
incomplete
film
songs
after
his
death,
and
his
son
Amit
Kumar
and
hosts
Babul
Supriyo,
a
die-hard
Kishore
Kumar
fan,
and
Rageshwari
Sachdev,
this
show
has
become
a
rage
among
music
lovers
across
the
country
in
a
short
span
of
its
launch.
