For Bandana it was a long but fruitful wait. As Silchar's Debojit bagged the most coveted title of being India's voice, his wife couldn't fight back tears as she related

Debojit,truly the voice of India

stories of their struggle to make it big!

"I am seeing my dream come true!" are the only words that come out of her mouth, as she hugs an equally emotional Debojit, who flushed with victory is generous with his vote of thanks.

"I can never forget what Ismailji has done for me. I am here because of him. It was my mother's dream, and I am happy that I made it happen," says the singer, who has not only won a contract with Sa Re Ga Ma, but also a house in Mumbai!

Truely, tonight all his struggles seem worth it!

While Debojit celebrates his victory, spare a thought for Vineet who has managed to get almost 2.72 cr as against Debojit's 2.77 cr. "I have my guru (Himmesh Reshammiya), what more could I want," says the young lad, stoic, even in loss.

"I am feeling out of the world. My husband has reached this level but now he has to maintain this high point in his life throughout which is not easy. Our dreams have come true,I would like to thank God,the viewers and all our well wishers. All my relatives have come down to Mumbai from Silchar and we plan celebrate besides I am dying to go home to meet Ma(in Silchar) whom I have not been able to meet for the past one and a half years as we have been in Mumbai with Debo rying to get a foothold in the music industry," says Bandana., who has been with him in the city for the past four and a half years and is a fashion designer with Roopam

"I was confident that Debo will win the challenge. He has made me proud and the whole country proud besides the song he has sung today was sung beautifully and will sound even better when we make it into a music album. He is an extra-ordinary singer and whether he is a winner or not he has it in him to reach the top. I composed the music in my style keeping Debo in mind and we recorded this song about three days back and I thought he was simply mind-blowing," Ismail Darbar, proud of his protege.

Gajendra Singh, a man of few words, looked a tad too exhausted and had simply one thing to say, " It feels great to have Dobojit as the winner."

We chatted up Vinit's father who looked perturbed yet hopeful for Vinit saying, "We will go back to our hometown and have no immediate plans of coming to the city. He has not won which is quite negative for him at the moment however we are hoping he will get good offers from the industry as he is the second best."

Second best or not, the duo have an amazing future ahead of them -- and here's hoping that they don't lose their simplicity and grace, even when they reach the pinnacle of success!
