He remembered how Shreya Ghoshal mentioned that her mother loved his performance on 'Chunar' in the Maa special. He said, " Shreya mam also said that my mother must've heard the song too and it really is a big compliment for me. Sanu Daa told me that he can't wait to work with me which is again very special."
Vaibhav Gupta's struggle story
Vaibhav mentioned that while now he has won a show, it wasn't very easy for him and he did face many rejections, however, he dealt with rejections in a different way. He said, "I never cried because of rejections, failures, or setbacks. I kept it all inside and that gradually became an intense fire to achieve my goals. I am a big Mahadev believer and I used to always end up at temples and talk it out with God and feel a sense of calmness and reassurance that things would work out one day. And I'm glad it happened today."
Indian Idol 14 was hosted by Hussain Kuwajerwala while Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal Dadlani, and Kumar Sanu were the judges this season."
