enjoying the adulation
Debojit:
Lots to look forward to!

coming his way since he has won the Sa
Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge crown on 24 February
2006. But the house in Mumbai that was promised
to the winner from the stage during the
finale hasn't yet materialised.
The singer who has been a struggler in
the metropolis, with his devoted wife also
moving base with him for four years, is
still waiting patiently to move into the
new house.
"I have seen a two BHK flat in Lokhandwala
(in Andheri, suburban Mumbai) but it's taking
a lot of time for them (Saregama-HMV and
channel Zee) to finalise. The music company
has got their broker to show me a few houses
and we have liked one, but the process and
internal discussion seems to be taking time."
Debojit denies that it's his recording
or shooting schedules that are causing the
delay in choosing the right house and moving
in. "I am still staying in my Malad
house and if I have to travel, I call for
a car to go for the recordings. I hope to
get the house soon," sighs the 29 year
old Debojit, who is getting busier by the
day with his forthcoming stage shows,cameo
appearances(in Kasamh Se) and recordings.
His wife Bandana wishes to shift into a
new house in April itself as it happens
to be an auspicious month for Bengalis.
On the other hand, Zee's marketing head
Tarun Mehra offers, " We let Debojit
choose a house for himself and he has liked
a house. He should be in the process of
shifting very soon and everything should
be decided in a few days from now. He was
away for his video recording so it took
time. When it is ready, we will call poeple
for a house warming party."
Debojit recorded a song recently for a film
called Kajree; besides he has sung
the the title track for the new season of
television show Office Office ( composed
by Jolly Mukherjee). Debojit is getting
offers from Himesh Reshamiya and Pritam
Singh too.
He is also ready to release his new album
Teri Dua Se by mid April and has
already shot the video for a song titled
Jeena, which happens to be his personal
favourite and has been shot in Darjeeling
and Kolkata. The songs have been composed
by Sameer and Biddu and the video also features
Zee Cinestar Ki Khoj runner up Shraddha.
Talking about the recently shot album, Debojit
excitedly adds "I play a guy next door
in the Jeena song which is a romantic
number and I had a nice experience shooting
with the local people. I got a lot of appreciation
from everyone already," says the soft
spoken Debo, who is soon going for stage
shows in all over India (mainly the north
east) and abroad (Bangladesh, US, UK and
Canada) for two months at a stretch.
Here's hoping the house warming party happens
soon enough.
