“When I was a kid, I used to say idol (Indian Idol) is my dream and today it has come true for me. I am very happy and feel very proud that I have made my father happy. I thought if I work hard for long enough, one day I will get it (the idol trophy) and today I have become the winner of Idol 14,” Gupta said. “I will make my dream studio. I will make new songs in the studio and will try my best to reach you with my voice and good music,” he said.
