The World in shock

Lata Mangeshkar: "I feel very sad. He'd come to meet me, sang for me, and I had nudged him to pay a little more attention to classical training. He'd told me, 'Mein ek din aapko bahot bada ban ke dikhaoonga' (one day I'll make a big name for myself)."

Farah Khan: "He was a gentleman, never saying anything bad about any contestant. Once I was having a late dinner in the studio and he sat beside me, sharing my food. He told me, 'You have so many fans. I'd never thought I would one day eat sitting side by side with you.' I still can't believe he's dead."

Playback singer Alka Yagnik: "It's shocking. It's a cruel thing that has happened to him. I still can't believe it."

Harshit Saxena, who was a runner up when Ishmeet won: "He was like a brother to me. I cannot even comment on what has happened. I cannot believe that he is no longer with us."

All Sikh bodies-run schools in Delhi would remain closed on Wednesday, July 30, 2008 in memory of Ishmeet Singh.
