Very Sad News: Ishmeet Singh Passes Away
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.

ishmeet we will miss u
I am shocked to heard a news about Ishmeet Singh. As he also very popular in Pakistan. We love his sweet voice and have a high regard him for singing most beautiful songs in VOI. We are shocked and we can't believe that this man is no more. Alas!
May Almighty gives his soul rest and peace……..

a great loos , i m shocked .
Here is a poem in Punjabi from youtube posted by dozywalia
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.

One can hardly believe about the sudden demise of the young,talented,honest and soft spoken voice of Punjab,voice of INDIA—ISHMEET.
It was horrifying to see in the news abt the sudden death due to drowining.I remember one instance while the telecast of VOI,his parents were invited on the show and his mother was asked about the unforgetable moments of Ishmeet,his mother told that during his childhood he never liked to have bath as he was SCARED of Water.And see his destiny,his demise occured due to water.
Its a great loss to the entire Sikh Community,India,Singh family and to many fans of sweet Ishmeet.May his soul rest in peace in heaven up there and Waheguru shower the strength to his family to such a great shock.
Its a huge loss… may god give courage to his parents and sister… may your soul rest in peace Ishmeet!
I remember during the voice of India contest.. everyone even in all the gurudwaras were proud that a sikh child.. Ishmeet.. won VOI …. but today the loss is terrible…
I can’t believe that Ishmeet is not with us anymore…Such a great talent he was. We, the people in Canada, are in shock..We will miss u Ishmeet..may your soul rest in peace…
i cant beleive that Ishmeet has passed away. i agree with Gurcharan Singh that WE should ALL go and GET his SOLS POP ALBUM an original copy to express our RESPECT to ISHMEET.
My condolences to his bereaved parents and relative of Ludhiana.
I cant understand how a 5 star hotel didnt ave a lifeguard @ present a greatloss Ishmeet u will b missed……….

Hey there guys, this is what i found about Ishmeet's death. HE WAS SWIMMING IN A PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL, exactly why there was no one around. The hotel's management had warned Ishmeet, Sumitra and Vyom to stay away from the main pool since none of them knew how to swim. Ishmeet was quite impressed of the beauty of the resort and was overheard telling Sumitra that he would stay in the Maldives if he got a job there. He went off on his own to the children's swimming pool where the water was shallow. However, he jumped into the main swimming pool even after warnings from the management. The hotel people quickly took him to a nearby hospital from a boat but unfortunately he died before reaching the hospital……. – this is what i HEARD so far, i'll try to keep you fans updated. May his soul rest in peace –
I am big fan of u Ishmeet. I have been following u since voi. Great loss to all his fans and his family. He had such sweet voice and personality. He was so kind and humble natured and down to earth. I am unable to digest u r not with us anymore. Wish he somehow come alive. Cannot believe. May God give courage to his family and friend to face this loss. May your soul rest in peace.

The Sikh community has suffered a huge loss! Ishmeet Singh was a gem of a man and inspired many young people to get in touch with their spiritual side. He was in Bangkok a few weeks ago and made a huge impact on the Thai Sikh youth when he sang in the Gurudwara here. My heart goes out to his parents and I can only hope that the faith he had was instilled in him by his parents. Only Waheguru knows the pain they must be going through right now. We all need to remember :
??????? ???? ????? ???? ???? ???? ?????
May Waheguru help us to accept His Bhana and may Ishmeet Singh rest at Waheguru's feet in eternal peace.
