Fair Faculty
They saved RUPREKHA as they felt that they had not advised well on the "high notes".

This was the Item Gala that promised to be everything from breathtaking to foot tapping. The students had put in a lot of practice, but when the lights are turned on, many things happen - so were they able to deliver?

Amit & Ruprekha sang Dil ne kiya hai Nikkama
Bossy Ruprekha, who has always tried to call the shots, had a little trouble with Amit during the practice sessions. But this did not show when they performed. Amit did the steps right and got the tune and Shankar felt he was flawless. But Ruprekha missed the tune and was low on energy. The Jury, faced with 11 good performers, was looking for small slip-ups and Ruprekha slipped up. While Amit was totally safe, Ruprekha was put on the block.

Anubhav & Gurpreet sang Tauba tauba Ishq na kariya
They sizzled in red but the Jury was not totally impressed by Gurpreet. They all felt she lacked energy. Alka said that Gurpreet needed to learn voice control. Shankar said that Gurpreet started well, but could not keep the momentum. Anubhav, on the other hand, was very good. Despite his gentle nature, he was able to project the energy and the spirit that the song required. So Anubhav was declared safe and Gurpreet was put on probation.

Mona & Arpita - They sang Baras ja ae badal baras ja
They captured the audience, jury and anchors alike. The jury was thrilled with their coordination and expression. Shankar admitted that the decision of the faculty to save Mona in an earlier round had been absolutely right. Mona was turning into a serious contender for the title. Alka said that Arpita's body language and voice oozed confidence. They were the winning pair of the evening and both were declared SAFE.

Based on a successful Spanish reality show called Operation Truinfo, Sony Entertainment Television's Fame Gurukul will take millions of Indians on a roller-coaster ride of fierce competition, spectacular performances and stardom success. Operation Truinfo has been adapted across 11 countries gripping millions of viewers across three continents.

After being tested on various parameters through auditions held across Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and Indore, only 14 will be given the dream chance of training at the academy under a team of top notch no-nonsense experts from the industry in music and dance. Only 12 of the 14 singers will enter the academy through Jury selection and public voting

Every week, a real-life drama will unfold giving viewers a look at the life, struggle, hopes and aspirations of these young singers. Every week, one aspirant will mercilessly be asked to leave the academy till we zero in on the two who will become the FAME JODI.

Judging them will be an eminent panel of judges and the ULTIMATE JUDGE -- the NATION.

Making of the Fame Jodi

The Gurukul is where the stars will be born out of back breaking training and surviving fierce competition, frustration, bickering, tears and insecurities. Each week will drive towards individual live performances, with students performing for survival before a studio audience.

Every day, you will get to see the high drama at the Gurukul and later in the week, the contestants will battle it out for your votes at the Gala. Every week, four contestants will be put on the block or probation by the JURY. One of whom will be given a second chance by the FACULTY. One contestant will be saved by the fellow contestants in a highly charged moment, and the NATION will vote on which amongst the final two should remain in the academy.

The Gurukul

This academy will boast of the best faculty and will be the best destination for aspiring performers in the nation. The Gurukul or Music Academy has been established in the true Guru-shishya parambara -- an age old tradition of education that is difficult, stark and relentless in its expectation from the student. Along with vocal classical training and vocal exercises, the Academy will take care of the physical and mental fitness of the contestants. No stone will be left unturned -- vocal coaching, dancing, performance style, counselling. Every aspect will be given attention at the Academy to turn out the complete performer.

Once the lucky 14 students enter the gate of the Gurukul, they will only leave if voted out. Here, their raw talent will be professionally tested and trained by an eminent faculty headed by a Dean who keeps all on the strict line of discipline.

Aspirants are known to have done some crazy things to get onto the academy. Fame ke liye kuch bhi karega!
