Sony Entertainment Television’s popular reality show Indian Idol 16: Yaadon Ki Playlist is back with a nostalgic theme celebrating the golden melodies of the 1990s. Among the talented contestants, Amritha Rajan’s emotional and inspiring story has caught everyone’s attention. Her deep love for music and admiration for legendary composer A.R. Rahman has shaped her journey from a dreamer to a shining performer on national television.
Amritha Rajan Shares How A.R. Rahman Inspired Her
Amritha Rajan grew up listening to A.R. Rahman’s timeless tunes and dreamt of meeting him one day. Interestingly, no one in her family had any musical background, yet she felt a strong connection with Rahman’s music since childhood. She shared that she used to imagine performing in front of him, hoping that one day her music would reach him. Her determination and love for Rahman’s art kept her motivated even when she had no guidance or support around her.
In a touching moment on the show, Amritha Rajan revealed how one of A.R. Rahman’s lines completely changed her life. Rahman once said, “Don’t make music to reach me; make music for yourself.” These words transformed her approach to music. She stopped chasing fame and recognition and instead began creating songs that reflected her heart and soul. That mindset helped her find peace and purpose in her musical journey.
Her strong belief in herself and dedication to music eventually brought her to the stage of Indian Idol 16. Performing in front of judges Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal Dadlani, and Badshah, Amritha impressed everyone with her soulful voice and pure passion. Her journey shows how dreams can turn into reality when they are powered by self-belief and hard work.
Indian Idol 16 continues to celebrate such stories of hope and inspiration. Amritha Rajan’s story reminds us that when you stop seeking validation and start following your heart, true success finds you. The new season airs every Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 PM on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV, promising more unforgettable performances and emotional musical journeys.
