Indian Idol
Amit Paul gained his fame in the third season of Indian Idol, but he had initially attempted to try out for Indian Idol Season 2, but he did not make it to the venue in time. To ensure his entry into Season 3, he was 12 hours early for his audition, but this was only thanks to a chance call from a friend who was already at the auditions in Mumbai. Amit Paul's auditions went well, and he was awarded with three yeses to progress to the next round. Amit Paul continued to progress through the rounds but was voted out early in the competition, only to be brought back as a wild card entry. He then progresses straight to the final, but was ultimately beaten by Prashant Tamang.

Famous quotes containing the words indian and/or idol:
“Having resumed our seats in the canoe, I felt the Indian wiping my back, which he had accidently spat upon. He said it was a sign that I was going to be married.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection. A beast gnawing at its prey can be happy too, but only human beings can feel affection for each other, and this is the highest achievement they can aspire to.”
—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
