Abhijeet Sawant opens up on his descending fame and meeting SRK

Abhijeet Sawant once enthralled the hearts of millions with his melodious voice as the winner of the first season of Indian Idol. Later he went on to sing for many Bollywood films. However, over time, his prominence in the industry began to fade. In a recent conversation on the on a Podcast Abhijeet opened up on the highs of his career, the moment he met Shah Rukh Khan and the eventual decline of his stardom.

At that time, it had reached a point where big stars would come up to meet him saying, ‘Hey Abhijeet… big fan.’ Once, Shah Rukh Khan himself met him and was very kind. He invited him to perform on a show… personally announced his name… and said he had watched many of his songs at home.
Abhijeet also revealed live performances are his biggest source of income. He spent most of his time on stage…it is his business’
But Abhijeet also candidly spoke about how fame is fleeting and how difficult it became to maintain his position as the industry evolved. That consistency isn’t there anymore. He isn’t getting those songs… or things just aren’t happening the way they used to, for him to remain at that same level… If he were to meet Khan sahab today, maybe he’d just say hello and walk away.
Abhijeet  further reflected on how many people rely on their initial impression or moment of fame to carry them through, but emphasised that this is not sustainable. He noted that one must consistently put in the work, not only to reach a position of success but also to maintain it over time, with hard work and perseverance.
