Reshammiya's team on Challenge 2007 'rings' in their admiration for their mentor

His signature style maybe a cap and cape, but his team members on Zee's Challenge 2007 aren't far behind. Joy Chakraborty, Nirupama Dey and Mussarat Abbas, the three members of Himesh's gharana, have come up with a unique way to show their love for their mentor.

To set themselves apart from other contestants, Himesh's team members have been wearing rings with the initials HR engraved on them.

When asked if he has anything to do with it, His Himeshness says, "I'm not involved with the looks of the contestants or what they wear. That is totally their and the channel's decision. I focus only on the music and the training. If they are wearing rings with my initials on them, it's their prerogative."

Joy, who hails from Assam, says the decision to wear rings with Himesh's initials was a group decision.

"We respect Himesh a lot. He is the biggest music director in the country right now. We think wearing rings with his initials will not only make us stand out from the rest but also show our love for him," says Joy.

He adds that what they wear and how they look on the show is totally the channel's decision. "The creative heads behind the show were kicked about the fact that we wanted to wear these rings. I think they go with our look too."

When asked about the experience of training under Himesh, Joy adds, "He has some amazing tips for us.

Lately he has been very busy with his film so we don't meet him that often, but he still manages to call us whenever he can and make sure we are rehearsing on time."
