Ishmeet Singh, the winner of the “Voice of India” contest, passed away today after drowning in a hotel swimming pool in the Maldives. He was the only son of his parents, and was set to perform at an event in Maldives capital. Such a tragic story and such a great loss for the Punjabi community. Ishmeet had been vocal about his intent to encourage Sikh youth to step out of the shadows and achieve their dreams.
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 Shabad Kirtan CD had just been released and many were hoping to see the beginning of a wonderful journey for Ishmeet. He will be greatly missed.

This is so shocking, how could it be possible, he couldn’t of died in a swimming pool by drowning.Shouldn’t there been some lifeguard or atleast someone to help him and that resort is suppose to be one of the best. Just how could it be possible this should be investigated. I give simpathy to all of Ishmeeths family, friends and fans i am really sorry and would of hope to ishmeeth that he could of gone really far in life but i guess this is where it ends.
Its really sad & big loss to every sikh. Could belived that such tragic incident happened. May Waheguru Ji give strength to his parents & relatives to handle the shock. Ishmeet really made us proud with his talent. Why always good people leave early?
I agree with Zoyya above. How could this happen? We need many more details. It really must be investigated.
My condolences especially to his family, and also to all of us who now won't have the chance to watch him grow and develop both as an entertainer and as a Sikh role model.
Sometimes the hukam of Vaheguru is hard to understand.
Sometimes it is hard to remain in chardi kala.
But we are Sikhs. We accept the hukam of Vaheguru without anger or bitterness. We remain in chardi kala.
Still…how very sad.
O my God!! Its shocking and unbelievable news, I am in tears and can't digest this tradegy. He was such a nice person beside winner of SVOI. There must be an inquiry into this incident, how come an international resort was not having saftey personnel at swimming pool???.
I sincerely condole the grieved family and pray to Allah to give them strength to withstand this great tradegy, May Ishmeet's soul rest in peace

it’s really a shoking news and i do not have words to express my sad feelings. i can’t beleive that can happen in a luxury resort, where lifeguards were supposed to be appointed. How come nobody was there to help at that busy hour? may his soul rest in peace. it’s painful to write these words but no one can do anything……..
i can't believe on my ears he is such a nice person a wonderful son,i am really shocked on Ishmeet's sudden death.it s avery hard time for his parents' may God give them strenth to face this tragedy.
Very shocking, just hard to believe. Drowning in a pool in a five star resort is just unheard of, was there nobody around him considering that he was a celebrity. I think there is foul play and this must be investigated in its totality.
I can not believe it . It is so so sad. May Ishmeet's soul rest in peace.It must be investigated.

Ishmeet's untimely death is very shocking and sad news for all noble hearts. "I have some big projects lined up. And I am happy that God has put me on right path. Soon I will take a big leap and go high." Said Ishmeet Singh talking to TOI at Chandigarh never knew that what is big leap and high in store for him? Here we are helpless and have to surrender to HIS wishes as who can chant (God’s) knowledge whose study is arduous. The demand of an inquiry into the drowning accident as to know what were the circumstances leading to his death took place so suddenly and carelessly is genuine at least in order to take preventive measures for the future blossoming stars of any field like him. Such an inquiry is a need of hour along with praying that God bless his soul. A few words expressed for the gem on his very sorrowful untimely death especially for the consolation of his parents and other family members by Balbir Singh Sooch, his family and friends.
I was shocked to hear the news.
how come all of a sudden he was drowned in the pool of a well known resort.
May god bless his soul in peace and give a strength to his family members to face the tragedy.
this shocking news of death of our star has totally filled with sorrow.may god give peace to departed soul.
Ver shocking!!!! May god bless your soul. You will be alive forever in peoples heart.
You were such a wonderful person and will always be missed by your fans.
Ishmeet was a very promising singer. He would have achieved great heights in his career. Unfortunately destiny had something else for him..May his soul rest in peace.. May God give lots of strength to his parents to bear this huge huge loss

It is extremely difficult to believe that a talented singer and a wonderful soul Ishmeet could die in such a manner. It is strange that this posh hotel could not provide life guards. Was he all alone or could there have been other guests nearby. Did nobody see him ? Strange indeed.
Our heartfelt condolences to his bereaved parents and relatives of Ludhiana.
I was in ardent fan and shall remain so.

I was and still I am shocked to learn from my wife when I had returned from work that Ishmeet is no more or if I can say that India has lost a unique voice……In this difficult moment may the good Lord give comfort and peace to his parents & relatives….we as a nation mourn on this tragic moment.
i am a big fan of urs ishmeet.. will miss u always…
Ishmeet was a Voice from Heaven and Back to Heaven…
