The first Indian idol Abhijeet Sawant will have a biography written on him. It will be titled as Aaap ka Abhijeet. Reacting to this Abhijeet said, "I feel like I am living in a dream world. I had never imagined that one-day I would have a book to my name. I consider this a big achievement, because itni kam umar mein itna kuch karna� People have been generous to me."Publisher Harsha Bhatkal of Popular Prakashan said, "Abhijeet's success is prominent. He symbolizes modern india..
where talent, determination and luck can make you successful."

"I knew Shilpa Edvankar for quite some time. We used to stay at Mahim. She was also staying in the same society and we were good friends. When I proposed the first time, she rejected me," Abhijeet said.

However, when he signed up for Indian Idol, Shilpa started showing special interest in him.

"She would always be there to boost my morale and sit for long hours during the rehearsals and practice. It was during that time we got closer. After winning Indian Idol, I proposed to her again. She gracefully agreed and we married within a year."

The 27-year-old became a rage amongst youngsters after winning the first Indian Idol title in 2005. Abhijeet's fan following has not changed after his marriage.

"Truly speaking, I was a little worried before marriage, but after more than five months I am satisfied that everything is all right. I still get calls from quite a number of people and even girls. They still love me."

Talking about changes in life after marriage, he said: "It hasn't changed so much. The only difference is that now she is staying with my parents and me. Otherwise, we are still more like friends than husband and wife. Our parents are also happy."

Abhijeet is set to debut as an actor in Lottery, which is a musical thriller. He is playing an accountant in the film.

Talking about his acting, he said: "A singing career is not time-bound but acting is; therefore I accepted the offer. I thought I should make use of the opportunity."
