Aditya bides his time for a Bollywood debut

MUMBAI: Aditya Narayan, who made his debut as a television host on 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge' last year on Zee TV says he is biding his time to make a Bollywood debut.

Aditya, son of noted playback singer Udit Narayan, as a child had featured in films like 'Rangeela', 'Pardes', and 'Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai' said here that at present he was exploring the offers he was getting and was not in a hurry.

Speaking about how life has been a rollercoaster ride for him since he made an impact as a television host, Aditya said 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge' and 'Little Champs' took up most of his time through the last year.

"Then I accompanied my father on a world tour," he said.

Looking back, the host-cum-singer said hosting the first season was a good experience for him and he has kept in touch with all participants.

He said he was presently shooting for the second season of "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge". "There are 40 participants and the mentors will be Himesh Reshamiya, Pritam, Aadesh Srivastav and Shankar Mahadevan," he added.

Each 'gharana' will have four Indians, one Pakistani and one participant from outside Asia, he said.

The second season goes on air on Zee TV from July 4.
