I wish to work with Jiah : Aditya
Monday, May 07, 2007
Up close and personal with Aditya Narayan after he has signed as the anchor of Zee's 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007-Sangeet ka Pratham Vishwa-Yudh'.
Q:
How
is
it
feeling
hosting
Zee
'Sa
Re
Ga
Ma
Pa
Challenge
2007-Sangeet
ka
Pratham
Vishwa-Yudh'?
A:
It
is
feeling
nice
that
I
have
got
the
opportunity
of
hosting
such
a
good
show.
It
is
not
a
new
show;
it
has
been
on
television
since
the
past
thirteen
years
now
and
has
done
very
well.
So
when
I
was
approached
by
the
channel,
initially
I
thought
about
it
but
I
guess
there
was
no
need
of
thinking.
I
accepted
the
show
even
though
I
was
not
planning
to
begin
my
career
before
my
studies.
Also
it
is
a
musical
based
show,
and
I'm
passionate
about
music.
Q:
So
that
must
be
adding
a
greater
responsibility
on
your
shoulders
as
an
anchor?
A:
Yes
it
does
add
a
sense
of
responsibility.
Earlier
too
the
anchors
were
Sonu
bhaiya
and
Shaan
bhaiya
who
did
a
very
good
job
here
on
the
show.
Actually
it
is
a
show
which
does
not
have
any
usual
anchors.
I'm
not
pointing
my
fingers
at
other
anchors,
but
here
the
anchors
here
have
been
related
to
music
so
as
an
anchor
too
one
can
comment
on
the
performance
of
the
participants.
But
I
will
try
to
do
my
best.
Q:
Do
you
have
any
prior
experience
of
anchoring?
A:
No
I
do
not
have
any
prior
experience.
Q:
So
are
you
undergoing
any
kind
of
homework
or
training?
A:
I
have
been
watching
the
show
for
a
long
time
now
and
so
have
a
bit
of
cue.
Also
I
have
been
with
the
team
of
Zee
where
I
had
been
briefed
about
how
to
go
about
it.
I
do
have
an
experience
of
acting
but
it
is
different
from
anchoring.
So
I
do
not
have
to
worry
when
professionals
are
guiding
me.
Also
I
will
learn
as
time
passes
by.
Q:
Tell
us
a
bit
about
your
academic
background?
A:
I
was
doing
my
graduation
here
but
in
between
I
left
for
London
where
I
did
a
Diploma
in
English
Contemporary
Music.
Now
I'm
in
Mumbai
for
the
past
three
month
and
willing
to
complete
my
graduation.
I
have
also
learnt
Indian
classical
music
from
Satyanarayan
Mishra
and
also
took
training
under
Kalyanji
Anandji.
Q:
Why
Diploma
in
English
Contemporary
Music?
Was
it
your
choice?
A:
See
I
want
to
know
music
to
the
fullest.
Not
just
Indian
or
classical,
I
want
to
learn
international
music
and
in
truly
international
way.
It
was
purely
my
choice;
Uditji
did
not
want
me
to
go
abroad,
but
I
forced
my
decision
on
him.
Q:
So
what
are
your
future
plans?
A:
I
have
a
lot
planned
for
future.
I
want
to
do
good
work
where
I
can
utilize
my
capabilities
to
the
fullest.
I
want
to
do
good
work
and
put
in
my
best
efforts
in
whatever
I
would
do.
Q:
Does
it
include
films
too?
A:
Yes
why
not.
I
have
acted
before
and
will
do
films
if
I
get
good
work
which
I
can
identify
with.
But
my
first
preference
would
always
be
music.
But
I
tell
you
it
will
not
only
be
in
films
but
also
in
other
aspects.
I
want
to
spread
my
wings.
