Thursday 11th August 2005 was the saddest day at Fame Gurukul - when my favorite participant, Anubhav Suman, had to leaev!
The innocent boy from Ghaziabad had an all round talent in him, right from his young days. He was good at many musical instruments as well as a well groomed voice, which he used very sensitively.
What he probably lacked was the overwhelming X-factor which seems to be consuming the show, beyond redemption!
All the judges as well as the faculty made this observation!
I found an old May 2000 article (much before Fame Gurukul kind of shows were even conceptualised) about Anubhav:

A budding singer
May 9: The age is no limit where talent is concerned. Anubhav Suman, a student of class 10 from a local school in Delhi has shown great results in the field of music. At an early age of 14 years he is already capable of playing musical instruments from harmonium, tabla, bongo to key boards, not only is he proficient in playing these interments but also a good singer. He has already sung bhajans in many music concerts in Lucknow, Varanasi, Allahabad, Bhilwara, etc. He has also participated in many programs for the All India Radio and Doordarshan. Not only this he has participated in many music competitions and earned several prizes and awards for himself.
