Aneek, 18, is the winner of the Bangla SaReGaMaPa contest. He and the winner of the Marathi version made a direct entry when the organisers introduced a Brahmastra in one of the episodes.

Aneek started singing at the age of three. He learnt music from his uncle and now is also learning classical music from his guruji, Jayanth Sarkar. He also participated in many musical competitions and won prizes during his schools days.

Though he has taken admission at St Xavier's college, Kolkata, for a course in mass communication, Aneek has yet to attend the classes. "I have not attended a single class as I am busy with the competition," he adds.

After coming to Mumbai, Aneek learnt what professionalism was. "I learnt a lot from the great singers, composers and participants," he says adding that mentors play an important role in singing as well as guidance. Incidently, fellow contestant Amanath is his best friend.

"Life is different after the show. Now people recognise me and that feels good," he says. "When I went to my hometown everybody was happy for me. My parents told me to work hard in this competition."

As for his future plans, Aneek says he has sung for Bappida's Love.com, Balaganesha with Amanath Ali, and for Little Krishna.
