Remember Fame Gurukul? It was an incredibly popular reality television show back in 2005 when reality TV shows were just getting big. And I’ve gotta say, I was totally obsessed with it. In fact, when I started thinking of Fame Gurukul again today, I was pretty surprised by how much I could remember of it off-hand, even though it was a decade ago. There are things that happened last week that I can’t recall, but this stuff my brain has space for.
Arijit Singh was one of the participants of singing reality show, Fame Gurukul (2005),
wherein he could not even manage to be among the Top 5. Although, Arijit was one of the most loved singers on the show, he ended up at 6th position. During the elimination episode, another contestant, Qazi Touqeer (who went on to win the competition later) had said that Arijit goes too much into the song and that its feel gets lost. However, one of the judges on the show, Shankar Mahadevan, had called Arijit Singh as one of the best singers on the show and had promised to give him work, which he actually did after the show.
Qazi Tauqeer who won the reality show Fame Gurukul back in 2005 has been away from the glare of publicity, is now seen shaking his leg with Katrina Kaif in Phantom movie’s new song, Afghan Jalebi.
However, Qazi has not lent his voice for this song. Afghan Jalebi, composed by Pritam, is penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya and sung by Pakistani singer Syed Asrar Shah.
