Performing in Ahmadabad
- It was an altogether new experience for me.
- Singing in front of a live audience where our judges were marking us on our performance was completely new for me. There were thousands of people in Ahmadabad and it was a challenge to be focused and sing well
Performing with Sonu Nigam
- I never expected that Sonu ji would join me on stage.
- It was great on his part to come on the stage and I could share the stage with him.
Singing the title track for “Aap Ki Kachehri” the new show on star Plus
- I was a little surprised and shocked to know that I would be singing the title track for “Aap ki Kachehri”
- It’s a primetime show and to get a chance to sing the title track is a real good achievement for me
- It is all because of VOI that I am getting all this
- I am thankful to all those people who have been with me and brought me to this level

Mumbai Attacks
- It is ridiculous to do such a thing , they have not only damaged our spirit but also torn down out national heritage
- I hope the people behind this are punished
Message
- I request all to stay calm and stand behind each other in this crucial moment
- They want to ruin our spirits, but we are strong and would not bow to any such incident

What is the best compliment that you have received from a celebrity on VOI?
- When Tushaar Kapoor had come on VOI , he had said that I am completely ready to sing in Bollywood, All I need is a break , it was good to hear this
- Once Sukhi ji had also said that one more Sukhwinder Singh has come from Punjab, this was also nice to hear especially from Sukhi ji.
When did you experience fame and popularity?
- a few weeks back I was taking a walk where I stay , I saw a auto rickshaw going pass me, suddenly I saw it turning around with a few woman peeping out of it.
- They all came to me and asked me whether I was the same Vipul from VOI.
- When I said I was the same Vipul from VOI , they congratulated me for my singing and gave me blessings to win the title
- Similarly, once I was having food at one of the Restaurants, there I heard a few people talking about VOI and they were saying that Vipul in VOI really sings well.
- It was unbelievable to hear all this because I had never imagined being in such a place where common people would talk about me and praise my efforts.
What has been most challenging for you in VOI so far?
- my performance in the wild was a challenging one
- after my elimination I was very depressed and had no clue what so ever that I would come back
- so this performance was real the toughest one to deal with

Playing the role of an Eunuch
- I chose to play the role of a Eunuch out of my own will. They are also human beings and they are ignored and suffer a lot.
- In actual life they are very nice people. The song that I chose to sing shows the eunuchs taking care of a child who was left by her mother.
- In actual life they do these kinds of things, begging is the last option they do as no one employs them
- I enjoyed playing the role and I am very happy that I did something which others are scared to do
Preparations
- I was clueless about the role and how to do it.
- I watched a few videos of the Eunuchs in movies , songs
- I also went out to streets to observe the eunuchs, how they behave with people.
What if, you were a Eunuch in real life?
- every one treats eunuchs with disrespect , so I know it would have been an scary experience
Zakir’s elimination
- When Zakir came back every one was happy, I could see the delighted faces of the audiences on the Show
- It’s hard to believe that he has gone

Diwali celebration
- This diwali was fun; I was in Amritsar with my family.
- I enjoyed a lot at home. When I went to the market for shopping, people walked up to me and cheered me saying that I had to win the VOI title.
- Everyone seemed so happy to see me. If this is the effect now, I wonder how people would react if I really become the VOI.
Happiest moment in VOI
The day when Sukhi ji walked up to the stage after my performance and said
“Punjab se ek aur Sukhwinder chala aya hai”
- Once my grandfather and grandmother were called on stage and Ismail ji made everyone give them a standing ovation
Embarrassing moment in VOI
- I got eliminated twice but both the times I felt embarrassed. I know I am a good singer and I felt I had led my family and fans down
If given a chance whom would you eliminate?
- Mallar is a good singer but not better than Ravi. Ravi has grown over the months. So I feel I would eliminate Mallar.
- Among the girls Ritisha needs to prove her performing skills, she is good but she needs to become better

The Comeback
- I m thankful to the judges that they felt I had the potential go further ahead
- I m also happy that there has been a change in the format….now the judges will play a vital role in deciding who the VOI would be………..so now you have to impress the judges with your singing…………it’s not that you sing anyways and get going with your votes.
Improvement in singing in past few weeks
- everyone believed that I could do better but for the past few weeks I could not meet their expectation……..so I just started to focus more on my singing and did what was required for me………
- everyone whom I know was motivating me and pushed me hard to sing better…..and I just did that
First Crush
My first crush was a girl in class 10 but she was in a different section
Blind date
- I m simply mad about Katrina Kaif and would love to go on a blind date with her
- If given a chance I would run away with her
Whom would you love to be deserted on an island with?
- I like Katrina Kaif a lot but I would like to be deserted on the island with my first crush
- I can’t tell you the name but it begins with……P….

Being in top5
- I just want to become the VOI ….and I know I m a good singer and will surely win the VOI title……
- I m working hard ….and it’s my hard work that has brought me till here…….
- It’s quite satisfying to be in the top 5 ….but I would be satisfied only when I become the VOI.
Performing in Different cities
- Performing in Chandigarh was a great experience as I was performing in my home.
- I always wanted to perform in Punjab and VOI team Fulfilled my dream
- These live shows in different cities is a great platform to be with your fans…..when we do live shows people can actually judge how good or bad we are…..
Top Contender
- Ritisha and Saptaparna are the top Contenders
- Ravi is also good but he is not too good in classical .

On Anoushka’s entry – This is very very unfair! Anoushka is a celebrity who has proven herself in Bollywood. We are here in this competition so that someday, we become a part of Bollywood. Her, being here, makes it very difficult for us.Anoushka is popular with the people while we are still struggling to make a space for ourselves in people’s hearts. But I don’t ever get demoralized. So, I plan to perform really well. We will get better only through practice which is what we are doing.
On Being Sukhi’s Shishya – All 3 judges are dhaasoo but Sukhiji is my favourite. Sukhiji is my inspiration and my whole family loves him. He is moody but that happens when one is creative and busy. I know I will really learn a lot under him because only a singer can teach you how to sing.
On Janta being the Ultimate Judge – People do make informed choices but I am a little worried about my stay in the show because many a time when I have been in Ranbhoomi, the judges have saved me from getting eliminated because I scored good points from them. Luck also plays a huge part in this. It is difficult to prove yourself to the people. I want to mould myself to their needs
On Navratri – we perform a very grand Navratri Pooja at home. Mummy lights the akhand jot and we do a havan at home. I am missing it this time but kuch pane ke liye kuch khona padta hai .
Weakest singer in the Top 6 –Actually, Ravi bhaiyya is great when it comes to Western songs but gets stuck at some technical points. He is a rocking performer though- the way he involves people and makes them sing. We all have to learn from him…
