Also, for the Indian Idol 9 contestants, the opportunity was not only life elevating, but was also a learning experience because they got to spend time with Deepa Malik, the Paralympic Silver Medalist who has made India proud. She shared with them the importance of being focused and not letting fame and fortune deter them from working hard. It is not every day that you get to meet a woman who is the epitome of grit and determination and the contestants were highly inspired.
Moment to be cherished, truly!!
