And just for you, 'Inside Fame Gurukul' also captures the anchors and the judges to the gurus and the Top 12. What they did and thought - you can see it all through the 64 pages.
The book features some poignant statements by contestants and the judges. Qazi Touqeer one of the winning contestants said, "Sur lagey naa lagey, with passion I can climb Mount Everest."

Apart from similar emotional and fascinating confessions, you can also look out for the 'other' aspects that were a part of making the 'Fame Jodi'.
