“...Well I am not a big star, first to start of with.. But yes, it feels good when somebody recognizes
you by your face, by your voice.. That's the ultimate dream of an artist ki usko pehechan mile,
log use pehechane, use pyar kare, so it feels good.. I mean you can't express the feeling..
Aur INDIAN IDOL is the kind of platform jisse ki singer ko bhi as a star, as a celebretty
present kia..Usse pehele singer ko pyar mila but sirf aawaz se mila, but humein face value
bhi dia INDIAN IDOL ne .. So that's I think the best thing that INDIAN IDOL had given us..”
“...Difficult, I mean aise platforms jab aate hai to thoda bridge bahot kam ho jata hai
recognization ke liye, after that it depends on your talent and your hard work ki aap kis tarah
se approach kar rahe hai aapne kaam ke liye.. Aap kya mehenat le rahe hai, ya aap kitne talented
hai.. Ek jo bridge hai ki, hum jaa ke agar kisiko bole ki Sir I am a singer and I was in INDIAN IDOL, to aapko
thoda importance zyada mil jata hai ki okk, you are in that competition, that means sing well, at least..
But uske baad to it depends on your talent ki aap baki aage kyase badate ho,but that way is of course and
specially financially it helps.. Hum logoka grand finale tha 5th ko aur 6th ko mera aur Rahul ka, mera zindegi
ka 1st show tha Ghuwahati mei, aur mujhe kuch aandaza nahi tha ki log kya sochte hai humare baare mei aur
itna zyada dekha gaya hai ,to jab hum log show ke liye gaye aur jis tarah ka response, jis tarah ka aplore humko
mila, I mean thrilling tha wo.. Ekdum romte khade hone wala, matlab ki socha nah itha ki itna pyar milega,
itna recognization milega.. So jab hum out huye, jab hum bahar ke logo se mile, jis tarah ka response
hume pata chala tab, mere samajh mei aaya that's very big now.. B’coz jab hum auditions de rahe the tab
aisa nahi socha tha, han ek TV pe show aata hai, aisa kuch hoga, kuch nahi pata tha ki kya hoga, to bahot
hi kamal tha wo experience..”
“...Muzik, aamm.. Main yeh samajhti hu ki jise bhi muzik samajhne ke bhi samajh hoti hai se or
she is blessed, because music is the ultimate thing for us.. Aur aapka kabhi bhi mood kharab hoga aur
ek muzician ke naate aap kabhi bhi upset nahi rahoge, I mean you will be busy every time.. Aap baithhe
huye bhi kuchh sochte hote ho gaane ke baare mei yaa kuchh achchha sun lo, to you feel so happy,
ki I can understand, I least thoda sa, ki mujhe muzik thoda samajh mei aata hai, to bahot khushi hoti
hai, aur koyi bhi insaan is dharti pe muzik ke siwa aapni life imagine nahi kar sakta hai.. There is music
in every thing, hawa chalti hai, yeh jo pakshi bol rahe hai, everything is musical it's just........”
“...Maine bilkul bhi zyada gaane nahi gaye hain.. I am dreaming of sing lots of lots of songs,
uske liye pata hai mujhe bahot saare mehenat karni padegi.. I am not in a hurry at all, ki baapre itna
ho gaya, aisa main bilkul nahi hu.. Main aaraam se achchhe se sikh ke, mujhe pata hai meri kamiya,
mujhe aur abhi overcome karni hain.. So I know, I will achieve it, so I am in okk mood.. Aise jaldi jaldi har
barabar nahi karna hai mujhe.. Aur, gaane to mai kuch teen char panch chhey aise hi kuch gaaye, regional
maine thoda gaye hai kaafi but bollywood ki baat kare to 2 3 hi gaane maine gaaye hain, wo bhi I mean
kisiko pata nahi hi aise type ke gaane hai, to it's okk.. I mean achchha lagta hain ki main sikh rahi to
mujhe bahot khushi hoti hai kyon ki abhi tak sikhne ka mujhe mauka nahi mila.. IDOL mein bhi jab main
thi,to guru nahi thi mere paas bahcpan se, aapne maan se jitna main taiyaar kar sakti thi, gaane taiyaar karke
mai gaati thi,to abhi mujhe yaha aake sikhne ko mil raha hai to mujhe bahot khushi ho rahi hain..”
“.....Industry mein koyi kisiko force nahi karta hai kuchh bhi karne ke liye, Aap, aap banke rahenge
to log bhi aapse usi tarah behave karenge.. Agar aap taiyaar hain unki tarah dhhalne mein, to it's your
fault, to agar main aapni values aur aapni cheezein le kar chalungi to koyi bhi tension nahi hai, ya koyi
bhi problem nahi hai.. Main jaisi hun wasi hi rahungi matlab, accept kariye ke jaise aap hai aur usiko
follow kariye to koyi problem nahi hoga..”
(She ends up this conversation with the song)
"...Janaa zindegi se na jaana
Pyar ka yeh khazana
Lut na jaaye kahin
Janaa hum rahenge tumhare
Hain jabtak sitaare
Hain jabtak zameen..."
*Quotes by Abhijeet Sawant on Prajakta ..
"... I was becoming aware of the good singers in my group...... Among them
Rahul Mukherjee, Mukesh Pancholi and Prajakta Shukre were fancied. I'd given Prajakta
top marks for her voice, presentation and personality. I had no doubt that she was the perfect idol.
I still remembered her melodious rendition of
INHI LOGON NE from an earlier round.When 'REALITY BITES' "
had asked my opinion I had promptly named her... "
(Again Abhijeet said)..
"... I'd always thought of Prajukta as the perfect idol. Her artistry, presentation, personality
were just perfect for the task. But what did my opinion matter? It is the public that
has the final say. They shocked
us all by voting her out, and with her also went the much-touted
'female factor'!... "
