It doesn't get bigger than this.

The Final Four in Fame Gurukul had a truly memorable Gandhi Jayanti. On October 2, contestants Qazi Touqeer (left), Rex D'Souza (far right), Ruprekha Banerjee and Arpita Mukherjee met the honourable President of India, APJ Abdul Kalam!

Their memorable day began with a visit to Delhi's Jama Masjid, where Qazi did his Namaz. Then it was off to Rashtrapati Bhavan. The President addressed them on science, peace and the competitive spirit.

In return, the contestants sang Vaishno Jayanthi for the President. They then went to pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi at the Gandhi Smriti, where they prayed for the father of the nation.

Catch this special episode of Fame Gurukul on Friday, October 17 at 8 pm, only on Sony Entertainment Television.
