Incidentally, all the while he was singing he had silent tears in his eyes. Aditya Narayan asked Sawai why he is crying after getting such good reviews from the judges. To this, the Indian Idol 12 contestant said that he wants to give the same pleasures that he is enjoying to his parents.

All the contestants are staying in a 5-star hotel which offers all the top-class amenities and facilities. For Sawai who has been sleeping on matt and wandering lane to lane to earn money, everything is so overwhelming. From putting the card to open the room door, eating with a knife and fork to using a jacuzzi, and sleeping on a soft bed, it was all so new and intriguing to Sawai.
And that is when he felt that his parents are unable to enjoy this with him. That made him tearful on the Indian Idol 12. The innocence, humbleness, and honesty of Sawai have further impressed the judges as well as the pan India viewers of the show.
