Aditya Narayan has been a familiar face in the entertainment industry since childhood. Son of legendary singer Udit Narayan, Aditya began his career as a child artiste before stepping into the world of music. As part of the famous Little Wonders troupe, he performed across the globe and, remarkably, became a taxpayer at the age of just seven.
In a recent chat with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa on their YouTube channel Bharti TV, Aditya opened up about his early income and career milestones. He revealed that his big break as a host came with Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007. “I had to go through three rounds of auditions before being selected as host. They offered me Rs 7,500 per episode. Since we shot two episodes at once, I earned Rs 15,000 a day. I went crazy! I was living with my father, had no expenses, and suddenly I was spending Rs 75,000 every month. We did about 5–6 episodes per month,” he recalled.
