Indian Idol 12 winner Pawandeep Rajan pays tribute to Lord Shiva

Indian Idol 12 winner’s latest project is the Mahashivratri offering, Jai ho Bhole

It has been an unconventional year for Indian Idol 12 winner Pawandeep Rajan. Despite taking home the winning trophy of the country’s most coveted singing reality show last year, Rajan found himself   unable to cash in on all the opportunities that are afforded to a winner, owing to the havoc caused by the pandemic. While he had “few shows after the gala on international [turf], and also sung a few songs there”, he is hoping to resume working on the projects that are in his kitty, as the industry limps back to normalcy. 

In the meanwhile, Rajan’s latest offering is a tribute to lord Shiva. “I was told to give a shot at the song. I really loved the track, and to sing it for a big label was a big opportunity,” says the singer, adding that he’s happy to now rub shoulders with and record for composers whose works he has grown up consuming.

“In Idol, and otherwise, we’ve usually worked on cover versions of songs. So, singing an original composition posed its own set of challenges. It was a learning experience,” he says of the track titled Jai ho Bhole.
