He was voted out initially but judges squabbled with each other and brought him back. However, the junta has shown the door again to Jaipur's Toshi Sabri and this time there will be no return. Toshi has been voted out from Star Voice of India.

He says, "I was leading the voting chart for three consecutive weeks and now this result has indeed shocked me. I respect our junta's verdict. My life has been full of struggle. So, this isn't a first setback for me. I'll continue to work hard."

More than Toshi, it was the judges who were completely taken aback by the result. Aadesh Srivastav described the junta's verdict as 'Saraswati maa se dhoka' (cheating with Godess Saraswati) while Jatin-Lalit called it as sangeet ke saath nainsaafi (injustice to music). A dejected Abhijeet stated that from hereon he wouldn't comment on any one's performance. All he would do is to merely sit and watch.

Like the judges, the celebrity guests, music director duo of Sajid-Wajid and Salim-Suleiman, too were stunned by the result. However, they offered Toshi a reason to smile by promising him that they will make him sing for their next composition.

Summarising his stay on VOI, Toshi says "I was never bothered about the result; all I ever wanted was to perform. When on stage, I don't think about the judges or the audience, but I like to be lost in my singing"

The lad from Jaipur says that being praised by the likes of Mahesh Bhatt and Jagit Singh was very heart warming. He says "I was overjoyed when Jagjit Singh said that I sang the song 'Teri Deewani' better than the original. I'll cherish this for the rest of my life."

Life is all about overcoming obstacles. Expect Toshi to emerge stronger from this setback.
