When judge KK gave advice to contestant Arijit Singh

 

Apart from lending his voice to many Bollywood songs, KK had also been a part of the jury of the music-based reality show, Fame Gurukul. It was not known to many that renowned singer Arijit Singh, was a contestant on the show.

Many years ago, KK was asked if he had spotted Arijit Singh's talent on the said show. KK had then opened up about the advice he had offered Arijit, who in his words, was talented even then "I had told him, and there were other contestants too, to treat the show as a stepping stone. Once you're out in the real world, you must wait for the right opportunity and not burn yourself out. And Arijit did have his share of struggle till he got his rightful breaks," he was quoted saying.

 

 

KK told Arijit that, “You’re a very very gifted singer, and we all think that you have another stage to perform in anyway, so all the best. Don’t worry.” KK always believed that if one's good, no one can keep you down. "It may just take a little longer sometimes," he added. This shows the singer had a huge heart and the eye for spotting talent.
