This yound lad from Cannore district made his mark in the judge's minds in the auditions itself.

But it seemed that he was too conscious and as a result had lost his nerve in the first round. Roshan was lucky to survive...But some harsh comments from the judges seemed to have shaken him out of that stupor.

Roshan who has quit his studies for his love of singing made a mark this time around and surprised the judges with his performance. So much to say that the hard to impress judge - Annu Malek was quick to name him "Roshan ki roshani"!

Here's hoping that Roshan's singing lights up the hearts of millions of viewers and they vote for him too. Many of the South Indian contestants have suffered for the lack of votes in the past... We hope that it does not happen with this talented young boy...

Don't miss to watch Indian Idol this Friday October 31, 2008 at 9.00 p.m. and watch out for the power packed performances of boys only on Sony Entertainment Television.
