Rahul Vaidya Says Bigg Boss Happened By Chance: 'Chose To Do It Because Of Covid'
Last Updated:
Rahul Vaidya is known for his tracks like 'Chaap Tilak,' 'Madhanya,' 'Baaton Ko Teri,' and 'Meri Zindagi'.
Singer Rahul Vaidya, who rose to fame as a contestant on the popular singing reality show 'Indian Idol," opened up about his early hesitation toward participating in reality shows. Reflecting on his journey, Rahul shared how, despite starting his career on such a platform, he never initially planned to be part of more reality television, revealing a thoughtful side to his path in the entertainment industry.
Speaking to IANS, the singer shared, 'I have never planned my life; I actually never do. I just take it as it comes, and I never thought of doing a reality show, even though my career started with a reality show, Indian Idol. Bigg Boss happened just by chance and also because it was Covid, because of which I chose to do it. So, everything just followed."
Vaidya acknowledged that participating in a show like 'Laughter Chefs" offers a welcome change from the usual singing reality shows. 'When I used to go to a show before Laughter Chefs, people used to tell me they still haven't forgotten your participation in Indian Idol. Now people have somehow stopped talking about it because I think they like Laughter Chefs more. They really praise me a lot and praise me for my song."
The 'Baaton Ko Teri' hitmaker went on to add, 'I have learned how to be a multitasker. I never was, but yes, I do manage a lot of things by myself." 'I think it's God's blessings and my family's support that I am able to do so many things. But at times I also feel that I overwork, but then I can do nothing about it also because these are the things that give me so much happiness," Rahul signed off.
Rahul Vaidya, known for his tracks like 'Chaap Tilak,' 'Madhanya,' 'Baaton Ko Teri,' and 'Meri Zindagi,' to name some, became a popular household name with his stint on the reality show Bigg Boss 14 and was crowned as the 1st runner-up. He also took part in 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 11," where he reached the finals.

The quirks and perks of girl dads and boy dads
There's no handbook for fatherhood — just heart, chaos, and the unique joys of raising boys and girls. Girl dads braid hair and wear glitter. Boy dads learn football tricks and negotiate over toys. While the world expects stoicism, these dads embrace softness and emotion. Whether through cuddles, puzzles, or bedtime stories, they're not just raising kids – they're raising humans — kind, curious, and full of heart. Pic: Anindya Saha Soham, Ayaansh & Adhyansh Sohom Chakraborty said: 'My boys only ask for my time. Don and Dontu have their rituals — bhaanrer chaa, football tricks, and their nightly 9pm calls when I'm away for work. All I ask of them is to be kind, hardworking, and grounded. They're emotional kids, and I love that.' Pic: Rahul and Sohoj Rahul & Shohoj Rahul Banerjee says Shohoj and him bond over everything from Satyajit Ray to Harry said: 'Our relationship is a two-way street—we give and take knowledge equally.' A few years ago, Shohoj had asked him, 'Baba, my friends are scared of their dads, but I'm not scared of you! Eta ki thik hocche?' To this, Rahul said, 'I've never told my son to 'man up'.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Arjun & Avantika Arjun Chakrabarty says: 'My princess looks forward to me being home—because to her, Baba means cuddles, laughter and a partner in all things naughty. We bond over word searches, sudoku, and puzzles—just like I used to as a kid.' He explains, 'I never imagined I'd enjoy tying her hair or painting her nails, but here I am. I'm a possessive father, and it's bittersweet watching her grow up, so fast.' When asked about the hardest part: 'When I'm out of town and she asks on video call, 'Baba, when will you come? Why have you gone away for so many days?' Pic: Anindya Saha Ranadeb & Aameya Pic: Anindya Saha Talking about his daughter, Ranadeb Bose said: 'I often find myself covered in glitter, stickers, or wearing neon eyeshadow—definitely not by choice, but because my daughter isn't allowed to wear makeup yet, and apparently, I'm the closest available canvas. Aameya looks at me with eyes full of joy, curiosity, and a kind of wild creativity that I never want to dim.' He says she is growing up into a fine young lady. 'I just get the honour of watching her become her own person,' he adds. Quotes: I love colouring, drawing and playing with Baba. We also love cycling and swimming. I miss him a lot when he's away– Avantika My dad is the best. He spends all his free time with me, we play games together which is my favourite part of playtime. I'm his princess and I love that– Aameya Baba always makes sure I am happy.

My baba is the best – Adhyansh (Dontu) Baba is very supportive of me. He's the one I go to for creative advice, ideas and feedback. We have a very strong bond and nothing could ever change that– Shohoj Honest, fun and protective – that's what defines my relationship with my son Shohoj–Rahul Banerjee All I want is for my daughter to grow up to be strong-willed & independent – she already has a mind of her own – Ranadeb Bose Staying away from my little princess, while on shoot, will never get easier, no matter how old she gets – Arjun Chakrabarty I tell my boys to be kids for as long as they can – they will grow up when they have to – Soham Chakraborty
