DIVINE INTERVENTION:
Qazi Touqeer, Ruprekha Banerjee, Arpita Mukherjee and Rex D'Souza at the Jama Masjid in New Delhi
Fame Gurukul contestant Qazi Touqeer has now caught the fancy of President A P J Abdul Kalam.

When participants of this Sony reality show were taken to Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, Kalam was quite taken by Qazi's dreadlocks (naturally).

When Qazi told him he was a Kashmiri from Srinagar, the President replied that finally there would be a television hero from the Valley!

Other finalists Rex D'Souza, Ruprekha Banerjee and Arpita Mukherjee were greatly impressed with the President's gyaan on how to take on the competition.

Today's the day

Qazi's defining moment will feature in today's episode of Fame Gurukul, at 8 pm. Kalaam wished them all sucess and said that they are already such huge stars, so it shouldn't matter who becomes the Fame Jodi.

Ode to Gandhi

Gandhi Jayanti day was a landmark in the lives of the final four Fame Gurukul contestants. They started their day by visiting Jama Masjid, where Qazi offered namaz.

After which they headed for their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet President Abdul Kalam at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The contestants regaled the President by singing Vaishno Jantho. Later they paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi at Gandhi Smriti, and performed in the capital.
