'Ek Main Aur Ek Tu' gives Rajiv another chance
By Subhash K. Jha, Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, April 7 (IANS) The pairs on Zee's "Hero Honda Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Ek Main Aur Ek Tu" are not uniformly likeable. But Rajiv Kumar from the Chamba valley is back with a bang.

He got eliminated from the "Hero Honda Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2005" when there were eight contestants left and this time in the duet format he teams up with another "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa" singer Sanchali.
According to "Ek Main Aur Ek Tu" producer Gajendra Singh: "Rajiv's sudden fall and then rise has been phenomenal. It just goes to prove that audience polls cannot be relied on because Rajiv got eliminated from 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' when there were eight contestants left. Now on 'Ek Main Aur Ek Tu' he's immensely popular."
But will "Ek Main Aur Ek Tu" generate the kind of interest that the "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge" did?
"Why not? Just because the contestants in 'Ek Main Aur Ek Tu' were eliminated from 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge' it doesn't necessary follow that the contestants would be inferior," said Singh.
"Ameya Date, who went all the way to the final four on Sony's 'Indian Idol 2', was a 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' contestant several times over. And Rajiv's popularity among audiences proves there's always a second chance on television music contests."
