TellyChakkar got in touch with the singer and host and asked him how the experience was working with his dad and the challenges he faces on being a host.
As a host, what are the challenges you face in handling tough situations, especially when the judges don’t give a good comment and a contestant feels de- motivated?
I mean, honestly, I keep my heart filled with love and that takes care of everything as they need that little bit of encouragement. The thing is that it feels good that they feel I am a part of their family. So when they meet me, it’s not like meeting a celebrity. They feel like they know me as I live in their television box. So I don’t have to do anything to establish that bond.
I just have to continue the heartfelt love and I do that naturally, as we are spending so much time together. They are putting their best foot forward and giving their hundred percent. From me, they need encouragement and that’s what I do. It comes naturally to me.
What would you say about the other judges on the show, Anu Malik, Himesh Reshammiya and Neeti Mohan?
Anu Malik is a huge public figure. He is a very good guy and very encouraging to young talent.
Himesh is in the storm and he has his own label. He keeps giving people opportunities so that’s kind of an advantage you have if he is the judge of the show. He gives people something to look forward to. If he likes a voice, he doesn’t care about anything. He asks them to come for recording the next day, which I love about him.
Neeti is the sweetest person I have met. She is fully sorted in her head and is a huge name. That’s how people look up to her. Since she has also entered motherhood, we bond on those things. She is like an elder sister for contestants.
How was it to collaborate with your father after so many years in the song Main Nikla Gaddi Leke from Gadar 2?
It was really special and the song is a chartbuster. The film made Rs. 500 crores, but that all is secondary. Just think about it - I was in the eight standard when Gadar 1 released. I had seen both Lagaan and Gadar and loved it. Plus, my father sang almost all the songs in both the movies. I wanted to become a singer and musician, but not in my dreams did I imagine that my father and I would sing a song together, that too for Gadar 2! I would like to thank Mithoon and the director as it was their idea that they wanted the real father and son duo to sing for the reel father and son duo. It's surreal and I feel blessed and grateful.
Well, there is no doubt that Aditya is loved as a singer, actor and host and he is extremely versatile in whatever he does.
