Hold on to your hats, folks! A throwback photo featuring Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor and singing sensation Arijit Singh has made its way back into the limelight on Instagram. The picture captures a young Shahid, as he visits the sets of Fame Gurukul back in 2005.
In the snap, we see Arijit and the rest of the contestants beaming with joy as they meet Shahid. The actor dons a dark shirt, with his arms folded, striking a pose with the talented bunch. Alongside Arijit, we see season winner Qazi Tauqeer, Monali, and other familiar faces.
Arijit Singh’s participation in Fame Gurukul
At just 18 years old, Arijit took part in Fame Gurukul, where he impressed judges lyricist Javed Akhtar and singers Shankar Mahadevan and KK. Though he finished sixth on the show, it was his talent that caught the eye of famed filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who promised to work with him.
And work with him he did! Arijit was asked to record the song “Yun Shabnami” from the movie Saawariya, a dream come true for any aspiring singer. However, sadly, his version never made it to the final cut.
Nonetheless, this picture is a reminder of the humble beginnings of two talented individuals who have since made a significant mark in the entertainment industry.
