Re: A Tribute to a Fallen Star Ishmeet Singh
Lata Mangeshkar, whom Ishmeet and Harshit had met as contestants and who gave away the winner's trophy, recalled Ishmeet as a sweet fellow. She said, "I feel very sad. He'd come to meet me, sang for me, and I had nudged him to pay a little more attention to classical training. He'd told me, 'Mein ek din aapko bahot bada ban ke dikhaoonga' (one day I'll make a big name for myself)," Lata told a TV channel.
Farah Khan, judge on Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar , said, "He was a gentleman, never saying anything bad about any contestant. Once I was having a late dinner in the studio and he sat beside me, sharing my food. He told me, 'You have so many fans. I'd never thought I would one day eat sitting side by side with you.' I still can't believe he's dead."
Playback singers Abhijeet and Alka Yagnik, who are also judges on music reality shows, have expressed shock at Ishmeet's death. "It's shocking. It's a cruel thing that has happened to him. I still can't believe it," said Yagnik.
Ishmeet's mother sadly recalled that she wanted her 'Bablu beta' to become a CA. She also informed that he used to hate water as a kid.
Harshit Saxena, Amul Star Voice of India runner up, said, "He was like a brother to me. I cannot even comment on what has happened. I cannot believe that he is no longer with us."
Meanwhile, it was reported in Star News late in the evening that all Sikh schools in Delhi would remain closed on Wednesday, July 30, 2008 in the wake of the unfortunate incident.
So sad.......
