India, Oct. 19 -- Years after emerging as the first runner-up of singing reality show, Indian Idol's debut season, singer Amit Sana is back on television with its new season, Legends Return. But his career graph, since the high, has been patchy, mostly marked by financial losses, limited industry support and career uncertainty. "I invested a lot of money into my second album (Yaadein, 2013). People loved it, but somehow, I lost a lot of money on it," Sana recalls. With inadequate royalties and publicity that never materialised, he found himself hesitant to release new music. He shares, "As an artiste, you get scared. How do you come out with another new song when you aren't financially well off?." He says the industry offered little support during this phase. "No one from the industry ever chose to help; no one reached out. The truth is, somewhere, we were all struggling," adds Sana, pointing to the uncertain future reality show contestants face after their seasons end. "Offers don't instantly start pouring in once you become a part of one or gain fame through it. There have been a lot of seasons of Indian Idol, but very few people have actually managed to make it big in the industry." The uncertainty took a toll on him after the show ended. "As soon as the season ended, I was very depressed because I didn't know what I was going to do," he says. While others looked forward to shows and earnings, he worried about making ends meet: "I remember thinking, what am I going to do? How will I sustain myself in this city?" Now, as he returns to the spotlight, Sana also reflects on how music has changed. He believes today's music often lacks the emotional connection that defined songs from his generation. "People are not very happy with the kind of music that is being created these days. It is too daring; it overpowers your senses. So it doesn't make you remember a particular song," he says. "Music which used to heal you, which used to make you connect back with yourself and feel like your emotions are being sung in the song, that is something I'm missing," he ends....
