“Amit Paul should win,” says Hussain Kuwajerwala
Amit Paul should win,”
says the impressively forthright Indian Idol 3 presenter Hussain
Kuwajerwala. It’s no wonder he’s one of the top presenters on television
today—he has got the look, the commanding voice and the personality that’s
appeals to both the classes and the masses.
His fans span countries and are an interesting mix of soap-devoted ladies, the
college-going clan, and even kids as young as three who call him Sumit uncle
(referring to his character in Kumkum). Whether a fan or not, one can’t
deny the energy, fun, and genuine warmth that Hussain brings to the show.
Excerpts from a chat with the busy actor-presenter.
This week will see
the new Indian Idol being declared. Who do you think deserves to win?
I think both the finalists are good, but if I had to pick one, it would
definitely be Amit. I’ve always maintained that from the start.
When were you offered Indian Idol 3?
That was around the time I had finished Nach Baliye. I’ve always liked
the show and was excited to take up the offer—more so because it revolved
around music.
You’ve hosted a myriad shows. Was there anything different about hosting
this one?
In Indian Idol, you see the complete journey of a performer, like in
the case of Amit Paul and Prashant Tamang. You see the step- by-step growth in
their performances and their personalities. Before the show actually begins,
you travel all over the country and see aspirants in small towns and big.
Every time they are selected for the next round of auditions, they heave a
sigh of relief and thank God.
It must be hard having to see the rejection of hundreds of hopefuls?
You do feel bad because you can see the dreams in their eyes. But at that
point of time, you don’t have any emotional bonding with them. There is more
emotional attachment to the 10-15 that are short listed because you see their
journey on a day-to-day basis. You feel more when one of them gets voted out.
If you could bring back one voted-out contestant, who would that be?
I think Emon. He was really good and deserved to be in the finals. He was the
heart of the show. His smile was contagious, even off-screen.
Of the four, which judge makes the most accurate observations?
I don’t have any favourites as such. I think Anu Maliik is very good at
judging music sense and Javed Akhtar is good with descriptions and pointing
out where the faults are. Uditji and Alisha are great at giving an
overall comment on the performance.
You’ve oscillated between acting and presenting. Where are you more
comfortable?
Acting, definitely. I enjoy it more.
What do your fans have to say about your hosting Indian Idol 3?
I don’t know, I would much rather concentrate on my work. My wife Tina, who’s
a fashion designer, keeps checking out fans’ reactions on the Internet and
updates me on the interesting things that are being said.
What’s on in your professional life; any new shows? Yes, actually. I’ll
be presenting a new reality show. I can’t divulge too many details about it
now, but you’ll know more in a few days.
Any filmi aspirations?
Yes, I think everybody wants to do films, but it’s all about finding the right
opportunity. Frankly, I’ve been offered some decent stuff off late, but I’ve
not been able to pick it up due to some time issues. But who knows, maybe in
the future.
