Aditya Narayan has tried his hand at several trades like singing and acting but ultimately it was anchoring which got his the fame and fortune. Being the son of legendary playback singer Udit Narayan, there was an inclination in Aditya to become a full fledged singer but even after giving some good bangers, he didn't get much job as a singer.

He said, “I also got to sing a song (Tattad Tattad), which became a hit. Ranveer Singh also became a star with the film, and I thought life would be easy. But even then I didn’t get any offers and thus rather than sitting at home, I decided to pursue television again and started working on my independent music. After hearing covers on my channel, AR Rahman offered me a song in Dil Bechara, and even Vishal-Shekhar made me sing.”

Then he became the host of the singing reality show Indian Idol which changed his career trajectory. Aditya says, "I thought it was a music show, I am a singer, so it’s a natural choice, so let’s give it a try. Cut to now, I became super famous and girls were coming and kissing me. I soon started getting more TV offers and even films but no songs, that’s when I said hold on. I decided to take up Shaapit because Vikram agreed to make me sing all the songs. I became an actor so that I could sing. The film didn’t work as per expectations, and it was also the first time I faced failure. No one would pick my calls, there were no live shows. I had to start from scratch."

However, Aditya is parting ways with Indian Idol now as he wishes to pursue dreams of being a singer once again.
