Indian Idol 12 contestant Sawai Bhatt, recently expressed his wish to quit the show and go back to his mother who is not keeping well for the last few months. The judges somehow convinced him to stay back and focus on the show. In a video, shared by the makers, Sawai can be seen telling the judges that he wants to quit the show as his mother needs him. Himesh Reshammiya, in an exclusive interview with BT, shared how he managed to convince him to stay back. “I had to convince Sawai to stay back. The channel has assured him that his parents can come to Mumbai and stay with him. This way, he can be with them as well as continue with his singing journey in the show.”
Reshammiya added, “Sawai has been singing consistently well on the show. He has the potential to be the next Indian Idol. With his raw talent and right songs, he can achieve a lot in his career. Sawai belongs to a small town of Rajasthan and that itself is a great inspiration for talents like him in small towns and villages to come forward and participate in music reality shows.”
Himesh who also plans to record a song with Sawai soon, said, “I will be recording a song with him soon. I have already recorded with Pawan Nihal and Mohammed Danish. I plan to launch them and give them a platform. I have done that in the past and will continue to do that in the future, too.”
