Charit, the Rajasthan lad, is the tenth Indian Idol
Everyone was holding their breaths when the decision was made between Charit and Kritika on the sets of Indian Idol season 6. After finalizing the top 9 participants in Indian Idol, it was turn to cross swords for Charit and Kritika on the sets of Indian Idol.

Both participants had heavy votes and liking from fans and were put under the scanner as one of them was to be eliminated. Charit hails from Rajasthan and is a student of Pharmacy.

When both were about to be put under grindstone, Charit spoke, “I have done my course in Pharmacy. So if I get eliminated, I will go back and join a Pharmaceutical company as a scientist and of course singing will always be there with me.”

This time Indian Idol has taken a different turn when it comes to deciding the fate of contestants as half of the decision would depend on judges’ votes.

The final 9 contestants are Devendra Pal Singh, Poorvi Koutish, Vipul Mehta, Ritika Raj, Sohini Mishra, Amitabh Narayan, Kaushik Deshpande, Deeksha Piyush and Amit Kumar.

Breaths are still high and hearts are beating fast. We are yet to see the 6th Indian Idol of this season.
