Debojit Saha arrives in Guwahati
GUWAHATI: There was a sea of humanity along the route from the airport here to the city heart on Thursday to have a glimpse of the country's latest singing sensation from the North-East, Debojit Saha, one of the two finalists of the Zee TV's much-watched Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge, 2005.
It took volunteers from the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) over three hours of torrid time to travel the mere 22 km stretch escorting Debojit from the airport to the city heart. He was stopped and felicitated by people and his admirers at least at ten points along the route. The AASU has been instrumental in launching a region-wide campaign seeking vote for Debojit from the people of the region.
It happens to be the first home coming for the young singer for Silchar in Assam after he had left for Mumbai in July, 2002 to test his musical talent in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge quitting a stable job of an assistant engineer in Assam PWD.
"The support I have been receiving from the people of the North-East particularly from Assam during my journey through Sa Re Ga Ma Pa episodes in Zee TV has been overwhelming. I am groping for the right word to express my feeling on seeing the massive turn out waiting for me on the street here," Debojit said while talking to the media at the AASU office here.
"For me the people of the region has turned out to be a super power that has shaken up Mumbai," he said. "People of the region hardly knew me when I had left for Mumbai in the year 2002 to earn a place for myself in the big league of music in the country. Today because of affection showered on me by the people of the country especially those from the Northeast I am being loved so much.," said Debojit.
The boy from Silchar aspires to become a top-bracket play back singer in the country to fulfill the dream of his mother who is unfortunately no more. He has come closer to fulfill his dream given that noted music director Ismail Darbar, his guru in the Zee TV programme, has promised to utilise him as a play back singer in his next film. Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali of Devdas and Black fame too has shown interests in Debojit. About his competitor in the grand finale, Debojit said: "Vineet is like younger brother to me. Winning is not the only objective for which I am in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. I am there to help myself do well ."
Welcoming Debojit and hailing his feat, the AASU adviser Dr S Bhattacharyya said, " Debojit is a glaring example of the power of the music to unite people. He said showed the country that there is a part of the country beyond Kolkata in the east."
