| | Start | |  Fame Gurukul is yet another reality show to hit the small screen. With 12 contestants living at the Gurukul for 14 weeks and brushing up on their singing talent, the winners will be called the Fame Jodi. The contestants will be judged by Javed Akhtar, K K and Shankar Mahadevan, and will be taught by Ila Arun -- the headmistress of the Gurukul -- and teachers Prashant Samadhar and Padma Wadekar. The elaborate sets, situated at Mumbai's suburban Andheri, have been designed by Sameer Chanda. Ila Arun takes us on a tour. Over to the headmistress: Don't Miss: Fame Gurukul hopefuls < Next > |

| |  | | I will take you around the Gurukul so that you understand this place better. This is my room. This is the microphone with which I will make announcements to students. They will hear my voice in their rooms. The jury will have their meetings in this room as well. There are small boxes in my room, where everybody's locker keys will be kept. It will be a sad moment when, at the end of each gala round, a contestant will be asked to leave, and he will have to leave behind his key. We have Natraj and Saraswati's statues in this room. Natraj is the god of gayan, vaajan and nrityam (singing, music and dance). Saraswati is the goddess of education. |

| |  | | The hall has many cameras. There are hundreds of eyes following the contestants here. They will be given yoga and dance lessons here. There will be two tanpuras and tablas, and they will practise here. They will also be given fitness training here. |

| |  | | Upstairs, this is the puja griha. When we decided on the name Gurukul, the Delhi press asked us whether we were trying to promote a particular religion among the students. We are not trying to promote any religion in the name of an institution. That's why we've kept idols of every religion here. |

| |  | | On the left side of the hall is the boys' room. The cameras will follow them in that room, so they will have to take care. On the right is the girls' dormitory. There will be no cameras in this room. |

| |  | | Mobile phones are not allowed for the contestants, but letters will be allowed. Their daily programme will be put up on this message board. In the recording room, everything will be done, including post-production. Their music albums will be recorded here. In the speak easy zone, they can can call up their families. But we will decide who will speak with whom and what they will say.

| |  | | Students who come here should not forget their goal -- a lot of money is spent on a single contestant. They should follow all the rules and regulations. If I see them fooling around, I will not tolerate it. They have to be punctual, alert and passionate. If they make mischief, I will punish them. Fame Gurukul is aired on television on Sony Television on Mondays to Thursdays at 8:30 pm, and on Fridays at 8:00pm

| |   | |  Shamit Tyagi I am from Goregaon (a Mumbai suburb). I'm 25. I did my graduation from Delhi's Kirodimal College. I came to Mumbai almost three years back to pursue my career in music. I came to know about Fame Gurukul through ads on television, and went through four auditions to make it to the final 14. To qualify, I sang Upar Khuda from Kachche Dhaage, Jeene Ke Hai Char Din and Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho. I was working in a call centre. I did come to Mumbai for music but have certain responsibilities towards my mother and grandfather. I started earning well, I was a team manager, and everybody forgot my music career, but I made a decision and quit my job two and a half months back. When I was one year old, my father passed away. We were two brothers and one sister. My sister is married and my younger brother passed away some years back. I am the only earning member in the family, trying hard to make it big. |

I have stayed with Guruji Bhavdeep Jaipurwale for eight months just like we are staying for Gurukul. For the auditions, I sang Mera Rang De Basanti, then a Gujarati folk song, Koel Beti Ambale Neta, a wedding song. Then they asked me to sing more, so I sang Dholi Taro Dhol Baje.

| |  | | Arijit Singh I'm from Bengal. I'm 18 years old, studying for my bachelors in English from Behrampur College of Commerce. First I applied through Kolkata, but there were a lot of problems and the audition got postponed. Then I applied in Delhi, but I was rejected because my selection of songs was bad. Then I came back to Kolkata and got selected. I sang Hariharan's ghazal Koi Mausam Ho Tere Rang Mein and Sukhvinder Singh's song, Chhaiya Chhaiya. I was very tense and literally shivering during the Kolkata auditions, but it all paid off. I am learning music from Pandit Rajendraji, of Ziaganj. |

About this contest, one of my friends told me, 'You have missed Indian Idol, but there is a new program called Fame Gurukul coming up.' During Indian Idol, I was in Dubai. For the audition, I sang Bheege Hont Tere from Murder and Chan Chanana Chan from Hera Pheri, and finally, Tadap Tadap from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

| |  | | Chhavi Sodhani I am from Hyderabad. I came to Mumbai three years back for a career in music. I'm 18, and stay in Mumbai's Juhu area. I am learning singing from my Guruji, Shivataman Sharmaji. I like the concept of this show, basically, that you have to stay and learn, and you are going to be trained. I sang Jaa Main Tose Nahi Bolu from Sautela Bhai, then Jhumka Gira Re. Then they asked for a folk song, so I sang a Marwadi folk song Main Toh Nach Bani Aisa Bajuband Bhul Aayi. It's a composition by my Guruji. |

| My parents are very supportive. As no one in my house has a musical background, my parents sent me here so I can be groomed here. We had to wait for a long time during the audition. So when I entered the audition they thought I was crying, because my eyes had turned red standing in the sun. They told me, 'Even though you were nervous you sang well.' |
