Reena Thapar Kapoor
REX D'SOUZA
"I'm really nervous. I don't know what the future has in store for me but I did put in my best for the contest. By now, everyone knows that Ruprekha has voted me out. I was hurt initially by the statement she made against me as I always thought her to be my friend. All said and done, I would like to be one of the winners. But, even if I don't win I'm not a loser. I did make it to the top three after all. Ruprekha said that I was not as popular as Qazi, and I was hurt. What really damaged my position was her statement in the press about me not being up to the mark. I know that I'm a decent singer. I'm not the kind to run other people down, especially when they are my so-called friends. By bad mouthing others, she will end up harming her own position. I'd rather let the audience decide our fate."
His wish: "I've always maintained that I make a better singing pair with Qazi."
RUPREKHA
"The pressure is mounting up by the minute. I don't know what the future has in store for me but I definitely want to emerge victorious. I am not sorry for stating that I make a better pair with Qazi. Qazi is very popular with the audience. Having said that, I only wanted to ensure that I'm an audience favourite for the Fame Jodi. I was scared that Rex might not be on the popularity list at all. My chemistry with Rex is good but I still prefer Qazi to him. Actually, I rather not talk about it at this stage."
Her wish: "I think Qazi and I will make a terrific Fame Jodi."
QAZI TOUQEER
"I've been told that I'm very popular with the audience. Personally, I haven't experienced anything because we don't have access to the media and the world outside. Yes, all the appreciation makes me feel like a winner. Even Shankar Mahadevan told me that I'm now trained to be the winner. That really meant a lot to me. What can I say about Ruprekha's statements? She is a good singer but Rex and I have terrific timing. I wish the two of us win as the Fame Jodi. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I want to be known as the new age Kishore Kumar. I want to be a hero."
His wish: "I hope Rex and I win the Fame Jodi title."
