First Indian Idol winner advises his favourite contestant.

“Indian Idol 4” contestant Rajdeep Chatterjee (pictured left), better known for his killer smile, not only has a huge female fan following but also an Indian Idol as his supporter.

Well, it's none other than the “Indian Idol 1” winner Abhijeet Sawant.

Apparently, Abhijeet is so impressed with Rajdeep's singing and dedication that he invited him for a special New Year lunch.

While celebrations, music and fun were on the itinerary, Abhijeet didn't conclude the afternoon without giving some expert advice to his favourite. Abhijeet gave some handy tips on dealing with pressure, improving the singing style, stage performance etc.

Rajdeep was more than delighted with the time he spent with Abhijeet, he said, "This is the best day ever and I value all the tips which Abhijeet bhaiya gave me. It is going to be very handy for me."

Rajdeep Chatterjee's Sockrama

There is no smoke without fire. Just as there is no stink without smelly socks!

I’d always wondered at the sour smell in the corridors at the hotel in which the Indian Idol 4 Contestants live—particularly outside Rajdeep’s room. The mystery was recently solved when it came to light that a few pair of expensive socks had become the bane of everyone’s life.

It seems Rajdeep has only to wear socks for an hour and they smell like rotten fish with a sprinkling of putrid egg. In fact, people visit his rooms with clothes pegs on their noses. The only person who can take the stink is Remo Ghosh —the poor boy has been exposed to the smell for such a prolonged period that his olfactory system has gone on strike. Permanently.

Rajdeep has promised to visit a doc. But until medicine can fix his problem, the only recourse he has is to empty bottles of perfume on his feet. Isn’t that like casting pearls before swine?
