Lovely Tullika Ganguly is out of Indian Idol 4

Tullika Ganguly, the spunky girl (like Ankita in the last season of Indian Idol) was expected to go far was sadly eliminated on Saturday night. She had the talent, the looks and the pizzazz to make it to the top but that was not to be. She took the elimination in her stride but backstage the tears filled up. Unfortunately her last performance left a lot to be desired and perhaps resulted in a lack of votes. "I don't think that one performance could have done that. There are so many male contestants who are not consistent in their performances yet they are still there," she pointed out Tulika with a lump in her throat.

The judges are still upset with the loss of a star performer like Ananya Mishra last week. Now with yet another performer like Tullika's exit, they are afraid that Indian Idol is losing its female contestants week after week. Tullika's ardent plea to the viewers is, "Please vote for the talented ones on the show. According to me they are Prasenjit, Rajdeep and Torsha."

Indian Idol 4 contestants during Children's Day

On the occasion of Children’s Day, contestants of Indian Idol met the BECC street kids, and what followed was great fun and leg pulling!!

The gang of Indian idol 4 - Torsha, Ananya, Remo, Sourabhee, Bhanu, Prosenjit, Tullika, Shini and Rajdeep brought in Children’s Day celebrating music at BECC. The kids wanted to celebrate Children’s Day in a unique manner and what better way than to spend it in the company of adorable children… and to do that they headed to BECC, Bandra.

The contestants were greeted with a warm welcome from all the children who cheered and clapped at their entry. The kids instantly recognized a few of the Indian Idol contestants and said they regularly watched the show. So our smart contestants decided to throw a googly just to check their Indian Idol quotient - Bhanu Pratap asked the kids his name, and they all screamed in unison… Ishant Sharmaaaaa. Well if Bhanu became Ishant Sharma, then Remo was no less… became ‘chota chattri’. The kids sure made a few changes in all their nicknames but everyone seemed to have enjoyed all the fun and leg pulling!

The contestants were surprised to see the young kids groove, sing songs and mimic a few bollywood stars without any inhibitions; we heard them discuss that the next Indian Idol audition should be definitely held here to pick this talent. All the contestants enjoyed the experience of brightening someone else’s life and it was truly a Happy Children’s Day for them…

Three Cheers to all!

Indian Idol 4 contestants in Teach India initiative

After winning accolades in the Indian television industry with its successful run of three seasons, Indian Idol, the hugely popular adaptation of the blockbuster ‘Pop Idol’ format and the iconic singing reality show, took a leap this year in the fourth season by participating in the TEACH INDIA initiative. Teach India is a social initiative that brings together children in need of education and people who can contribute in teaching them.

While the show continues to enthrall the viewers across the country, it also addresses the aspirations of "Young India" this season. It is all about friendship , desire to stand out , spontaneity , personality , confidence , giving back to the society and more importantly ‘a need to belong’ these are captured in the tag line ‘ Yeh Style , Yeh Music
, Yeh World Humara Hai’ . Keeping their word of giving back to the society, the Indian Idol contestants visited Vatsalya, an NGO associated with the Teach India to share the knowledge and understating of music with the kids. The contestants – Mohit Lalwani, Kapil Thapa, Prasenjit Kosembi, Kuldeep Singh, Bhavya Pandit, Priyanka Negi along with their music teacher Mr. Vaidyanathan and the charming host Chang discussed music and entertained the kids with their singing and dancing. The kids at Vatsalya were familiar with the names of the contestants and followed the show regularly on Sony. They infact promised the contestants to learn music and take it up ahead as a career someday. Over all it was an overwhelming experience for the Indian Idol contestants to see their fan following and they promised to continue to visit the place and continue to be part of the initiative of spreading the knowledge of music. Teach India has brought together tens of thousands of volunteers with children in the effort to support their education. It is now the largest programme of its kind anywhere in the world.

A wise man once said "No one person has to do it all but if each one of us follow our heart and our own inclinations we will find the small things that we can do to make a difference and a create a healthy
environment." Indian Idol and Sony Entertainment Television strongly believes and supports this thought! & is therefore happy to participate in the Teach India initiative to help underprivileged kids.

Indian Idol 4 Contestants at Siddhivinayak

This news snippet is taken from screenindia.com . Please visit the site for more such juicy news.

Bouncing back after the break, the Indian Idol contestants, all 14 of them, started their week, last Monday, in a special manner. They began by visiting the Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai. The group then headed towards a nearby mall. After some window-shopping and trying their hand at some games the enthusiastic group were rearing to go to the Gateway of India and a boat-ride. Once in the middle of the Arabian Sea the youngsters simply let their hair down and did what they do best — singing. Kuldeep and Mohit picked up their guitars and the rest joined in for a long session of singing and dancing on the high seas! Mumbai and recognition has worked wonders on all of them. Even the shy Kapil was shaking a leg with gusto, Prasenjit has learnt a few sexy moves, Bhanupratap danced like there was no tomorrow and Mohit tried his hand at some pole-dancing! Torsha, the shyest of the lot, was the most upset when the music stopped at the end of a long eventful day.
