Singer Armaan Malik has managed to carve a niche for himself in the music industry with some really powerful tracks. He has delivered some huge hit numbers in Bollywood as well as in the South film industry.
However, not many know, the singer started out as a participant in a very famous reality show. Well, we are talking about Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs. Armaan who is now 24-years-old was just 9 when he did the show. The singer was eliminated from the show for a bizarre reason though.
In an interview with Zoom Digital, Armaan revealed, the reason behind his elimination from Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L’il Champs. He has been quoted as saying, "At the age of 9, I participated in the show called Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs. I was eliminated from the show because I belonged to a musical family and they said 'mujhe chance mil jayega aage jake'."
He further said, "Honestly, people might think it must be an advantage for me to belong to a musical or a big family, but it is not. I submitted my name as Armaan for the show not as Armaan Malik. I wanted people to know me as a singer and not as someone who belongs to a musical family. I don't think anyone from the musical family or a well-recognized family would ever go on a show like that. I think nobody has done that."
He went on to state that he was not selected because he belonged to the Malik Household. Because he was Daboo Malik’s son and Anu Malik’s nephew. He also said, "When they auditioned child singers, they found me to be one of the strongest singers. They did not select me because I was Daboo Malik's son or Anu Malik's nephew. I have music in my DNA. That's the only thing I have retained from them. When I was eliminated from the show, it wasn't because of a low-rank performance. It was because one of the judges actually told me, 'aapko aage jaake chance mil hi jaayega',"
Armaan went on to say that he wants to make his own identity and his own standing in the music industry. "I am Armaan Malik, I am born to Daboo Malik, my uncle is Anu Malik, I belong from the Malik family and I am proud of it. I know that my family is really amazing and they are respected in the industry. And they made their home in the industry. I am part of this legacy; however, I want to create my own legacy and my own identity. Honestly, I started my own roots."
