Ishmeet Singh: Young Celebrity Among the Sikhs

Naureen Kaur

Born and raised in America, I am a 13-year old young girl. I love watching Voice of India and looked forward to the results. As a result I quickly found out that two Sikhs were in the competition and that made me enthusiastic.

One was Ishmeet Singh, the other was Arshpreet Kaur. I would watch every show, and when both these Sikhs made it to the top 12, I couldn’t believe it. But in the next round, Arshpreet Kaur under peer pressure cut her hair short. Frankly, I felt very disappointed at her action, and was even more scared if Ishmeet might follow her example.

I did as much research on Ishmeet and probably learned more about him than his fellow contestants. I found out that Ishmeet is an 18 year old boy from Ludhiana and suffered from stage fear in his childhood. The fear was overcome after he sang in front of a huge crowd in the “Delhi Audition of Star Voice of India.” Despite getting hate mails and rude comments he believed in himself and didn’t cut his hair. When Ishmeet made it to the finals, I was overjoyed and sent the news to all my friends. I also, a couple of times, sent an SMS for him.

Waiting for the final result was an extraordinary event for me. The incredibly famous singer Lata Mangeshkar announced the results and proclaimed the winner as: ISHMEET SINGH! I was overjoyed to see a Sikh win the 1st Voice of India contest. I decided that no matter what, I was going to meet Ishmeet Singh.

I took a trip to India and covered the whole south of India during that trip. I was able to go to film city in Mumbai and spent two days there and saw many shootings in progress and met many India movie stars and took autographs. I still had one wish to fulfill and that was to meet Ishmeet, the idol of Punjab and the first Voice of India winner. With Waheguru’s grace, my wish was fulfilled.

Two hours before my return trip back to USA, I got the chance to visit him. This talented Sikh turned out to be very humble, polite, and caring. His idea on winning rested in the ultimate sense to have faith in Waheguru wholeheartedly. He is an idol to many young Sikhs all around the world and he can inspire and motivate young Sikh men and women to succeed in life without compromising their values and traditions under any pressure whatsoever. While interviewing him, he very clearly said to me that in future he would do everything in his power to help Sikh youth with talent to step out of the shadow. His soon to be released first CD is a Shabad Keertan CD which he completed the day after I left India. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors, and hope he will continue to reach the top and stay there for a long time.

All the best Ishmeet, and go for your goals!

Waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh!
