Neha Kakkar returns to Indian Idol, this time as a judge

Recalling the time when she competed on the show in 2006, she said: “I still remember the excitement on being shortlisted and selected in Top 10. I will give full credit to the Indian Idol platform for grooming me as a singer and shaping my career.” Though she didn’t win the competition, she made a name for herself in Bollywood. Neha is best known for hit tracks like “Sunny Sunny”, “Manali Trance” and “Aao Raja”.

Singer-composer Vishal Dadlani will join her on the judging panel of “Indian Idol” that will soon premiere on Sony Entertainment Television.

Vishal Dadlani will be a judge on the next season of Indian Idol.

“I can’t wait to be on the judges’ seat of ‘Indian Idol 10’. I have been a part of many reality shows including ‘Indian Idol’ junior and I have to say that ‘Indian Idol’ is a class apart from the other music shows on Indian television,” Vishal said.

Composer Anu Malik is excited to make a comeback on the show as a judge. “I have been associated with the show since its inception and have got a chance to see some unique singing talent across the nation. Every experience has been an everlasting one. This time, we return with a bang and ‘Khabar Phaila Do’, we are back with the best singing talent hunt of India. I urge every aspiring singer to come for the auditions.”

Auditions will begin from May 1 in Jaipur and then move on to cities like Lucknow, Guwahati, Bhubaneswar, Dehradun, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Delhi and Mumbai.
