Lights!
Camera! Action!
Hey!
[song playing]
[music playing]
Friends, the celebration of Rajshri's biggest hits continues.
And here we have our down-to-earth celebrity,
who still takes the bus despite having a net worth of Rs 40,000 crore.
[music playing]
Please welcome Karisma Kapoor, aka
our very own Sapna from 'Hum Saath Saath Hain!'
[song playing]
Hello, Sooraj ji, my favourite.
When I heard that Sooraj-ji was making Hum Saath Saath Hain,
I used to pray every night.
Sooraj ji, please call me, I'll come running.
And then one day, that call came.
I must say, it was my good fortune
that I have been a Rajshri heroine.
Thank you so much, Sooraj ji.
[applause]
No, but I must also say
when this film was being made,
Karisma had just come from 'Raja Hindustani.'
She was right there.
I told her, 'Karisma, there are six leads in this film.'
But to her credit, she said, 'I still want to be part of it.'
And she was there. I've not seen such a hard-working girl.
I want to congratulate all of you
because 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' has completed 26 years.
Wow!
Amazing, amazing. And we're so glad
that you're celebrating this with our Idol family.
So, come on! Let's get this show started!
[song playing]
[applause]
Presenting the most beautiful sister of our most handsome Idol,
Myscmme Bosu.
[cheering]
[music playing]
'Raju, Bablu, see! It's a peacock!'
- 'Where is it? - Look at that!'
[music playing]
'Aww... It's stunning.'
'No doubt. It's gorgeous.'
[music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
[laughter]
[singing]
[laughter]
[singing]
[applause]
Thank you. Thank you.
You sang so beautifully, my dear. Beautiful!
Your mood, your expressions, you did complete justice to it.
- Really lovely. - Thank you, sir. - Thank you so much. - And...
With this... With 'Mhare Hiwda...' It was Karisma's song, no doubt,
I was most worried for him.
Because... The choreography
was designed for three couples to dance together.
[laughter]
So I said, 'No. Let him be.'
'since one of his hands would be occupied due to the character's role.'
So I was saved.
Then Tabu stepped in and handled it all.
But dance was compensated all by...
How nice!
And when we were shooting 'Mhare Hiwda Mein Nache Mor...'
You remember, Lolo? We were up on the elephant.
It was so tricky,
it felt like we were sayingÖ 'Wow, '
'it's absolutely stunning.' But actually, it was more like,
'It's so beautiful!'
[laughter]
And Sooraj ji
made us ride an elephant in Rajasthan's October heat.
And once we got on...
- We couldn't get off. - Getting down wasn't allowed.
We were stuck up there for two or three hours.
[laughter]
But you were fabulous, Myscmme.
The emotion of 'Mhare Hiwda Me Nache Mor'
and 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo...'
You brought it and you enjoyed it on stage. That was so nice.
- God bless. - Thank you so much, sir.
Really means a lot.
Myscmme, your tone had a fresh texture.
- Exactly. - In both the songs.
- Really nice. - Sir, my throat is sore.
- Hey... Her throat is sore. - I... I was about to say that!
Sir, this really isn't working well for the last 3-4 episodes.
- This shouldn't get better. - This is working very well.
You're sounding really good for the past 3-4 episodes.
[laughter]
Let your throat remain sore, don't allow it to get better.
But it's not just a sore throat.
It's your intelligence.
You adjust your tone to suit the song.
Absolutely.
And I love that about you.
You're a music director's delight.
Anyone who records with you
is in for a treat because you are a very smart singer.
Thinking about a song's tone
is a big deal. So, I'm very proud of you, Myscmme.
- Very well done. - Thank you so much, ma'am.
Thank you.
[applause]
Myscmme, what energy!
- Thank you, ma'am. - A beautiful song
and you looked stunning too.
- Thank you so much, ma'am. - If I'm not mistaken,
the mirror work 'salwar kameez' you're wearing,
I think it's inspired by my outfit.
Yes.
You look fantastic.
Thank you so much, ma'am. Thank you.
But you look absolutely stunning yourself.
- Thank you! - And this is such a beautiful attire.
The 'Sapna' is sitting right next to me.
Thank you. Honestly, this is a tribute to Sooraj ji and Sapna.
Because the fantasy of Saif's character
whenever his alarm used to ring
he used to think that I was coming in a yellow sari.
[laughter]
'Get up.'
'Good morning.'
'Get up.'
So, just a small tribute to the movie and character. And Sooraj ji.
[applause]
So, ma'am, actually, Ritika,
she's probably feeling too shy to tell you...
But Ritika wanted to dance with you and
I wanted to hold her hand and dance with you to the song
'Mhare Hiwda Mein Nache Mor.'
Okay.
Hey, come on!
[music playing]
You also dance!
[speaking gibberish]
[laughter]
Come on!
- No, KK. No, no, no. - Please. No. We want...
- We want Shreya also! - Come on, please. - Come on, SG!
- Shreya! Shreya! Shreya! - Come on!
Vishu, I will not...
Oh, don't do this to me.
He's such a troublemaker.
I think everyone should come.
- No, no, no. Shreya. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Vishu.
I can't do the 'Hiwda' move. I don't know how.
You do know this is an iconic song, right?
Badshah, come on!
- Look. - Everyone will do.
- You'll be on my side now. - No, it's easy. It's easy.
[music playing]
[song playing]
[applause]
- Absolutely amazing. That was fun! - Amazing! Thank you.
[applause]
[laughter]
Judges, please score Myscmme's performance.
[song playing]
The way the audience loves Indian Idol is something else.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Young people watch...
It's not only the older generation who kind of knows this music.
Young people in their 20s...
And now, to win the reward of your love,
the wife's admirer, the poor husband, Biswarup Banerjee.
[music playing]
'You're unbelievable, Nisha.'
'Whenever I try to ask you something, you cut me off.'
'And when I stay quiet, you interrupt me.'
'Now, if I ask you somethingÖ'
'Who am I to you?'
[music playing]
Wow!
- Uff! I'm getting goosebumps. - Magic.
No, seriously, proper goosebumps.
[music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
Woah!
[applause]
I've never seen such a terrified husband.
I mean, have you ever seen a more awkward hand-hold?
She's offering you her hand.
He was like, 'My tune should be proper.' - Poor guy was feeling shy.
Sit over there.
Biswarup, you sang beautifully.
But if it were an original song,
then it wouldn't have been made.
Because the first lyrics were,
'Tu hi meri zindagi, tu hi meri bandagi.' Does that fit?
[singing]
That was the stanza.
So I said, this has turned out really polite.
Yes.
I mean, my character isn't
someone who'll think so much. Forget about life, they're still flirting.
So I told everyone. They all said,
'a romantic song needs to be top-notch.'
Then I said, let's just read the script all day.
Let's get into the situation.
So we read the script. Dev Kohli ji was the lyricist.
As we reached... Dev Kohli ji said, 'They are kids.'
So in their childhood, they fell in love for the first time.
- And for the first time. - Amazing! - Wow!
The script tells you everything.
Another reason for the script.
Karisma, no one knows this.
I was writing 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun" in early 1991.
Karishma called me to watch 'Prem Qaidi.'
And we went and watched the entire show.
So I came home and told my dad,
'I just saw Karisma's film.'
'And such energy.'
I said, 'Let's call her.'
No, listen.
But then dad rightly said...
'No... Look. Karisma's still young.'
'And what we're showing is...'
'that she is ready to sacrifice love and accept Monish's baby.'
'It is too much burden on a young girl.'
'We required a broader shoulder.'
So then...
If only I were older
this would have happened.
Like Sooraj ji said, I have been his huge fan right from 'Maine Pyar Kiya'
So Salman knew that.
Salman and I were shooting and
and 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun" trials were going on.
Salman said, 'My movie's trial is on.'
'Of 'Hum Aapke Hain' Koun'?' And I was like, 'What? Sooraj ji's movie?'
I told David ji to wrap up quickly.
I had to get to town, to Worli.
I had to watch the trial.
And they let me go because they knew I was such a big fan of Sooraj ji.
And I just loved the film.
Can I say something? The way you sang was so sincere...
There was a lot of love in it, exactly what the song needed.
The compliments to you.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Well said.
You sang so beautifully. You sang straight from the heart.
And that is what touched all of us. Good job.
Thank you, ma'am.
You're a wonderful person. That's why you sang so well.
It's visible. Touch wood. May no one cast an evil eye on your pair,
and I don't think
Ananya could find a better
partner than Biswarup, but you surely can't find a better girl.
Thank you, sir.
Judges, please give your scores for Biswarup's performance.
SG, some things never change.
Like Alok Nath always playing father's role in Sooraj ji's films...
Or Prem always being the hero of those films.
- '- I am Prem. - Your name is Prem?'
- '- Yes. - Prem still does the same.'
The hero and heroine's honeymoon with the family.
And just like that, one thing hasn't changed for the Idol either.
And that is Manushi asking
controversial questions to every celebrity.
Oh, no...
- So, Sooraj ji... - Will she ask me?
The thing you've escaped throughout your 36-year career...
Those questions are coming for you today.
Presenting the crazy girl of Idol, Manushi Ghosh!
[music playing]
So, Sooraj ji, she is quite clever.
[evil laughter]
- Oh, God! - But...
I've got a task for you.
I'm going to make you work for it today.
- Are you ready for the task? - Yes, I'm ready.
- Let's go. Come on. - Can we play it, please?
- Oh! - Got it!
[quirky music]
'Is this pudding or what? It's full of salt!'
- '- Salt? - Yeah, it's really bitter.'
[laughter]
Got it? You've got to eat a pudding stuffed with salt!
- Oh, dear lord! - Oh, dear!
The more you eat, the more questions you ask.
[quirky music]
- Are you ready? - Yes.
[quirky music]
Hmm.
I'm sorry.
What is it? It's just salt.
Oh!
[song playing]
[laughter]
Are you okay?
[song playing]
Manushi's tough. Come on.
She's loving it. Are you loving it?
Amazing. Amazing.
Think of it as fish.
I'd stop eating fish if it tastes like this.
[laughter]
- Okay... - Sir, my first question is for you.
You've worked with Karisma ma'am
and Kareena ma'am as well.
Who was more difficult to work with?
[song playing]
Oh, no!
This isn't one-sided salt. It's salt everywhere.
Come on, add some more salt.
[laughter]
What can I even say about the two sisters?
What can I say about both heroines?
- Truth. Tell the truth, sir. - Truth. Yes, exactly.
- Tell the truth. - They're both the same.
So, both were difficult, sir?
Equally tough and easy at the same time.
I told you to bring some salt.
Where is it? Just bring an entire packet.
What is she made of?
Still... Even if it's by 0.1%,
who was harder to work with?
I think I can answer this question for you.
Yes.
I gave him quite a tough time. I'd constantly ask him
- 'Sooraj ji, act and show me.' - Oh my God!
Because he's such a brilliant actor.
Am I right or wrong?
I was obsessed with Sooraj ji and I'd be like,
'Please act for me! Please. Please.'
So, I'd always make him act.
And I've got this great photo
where he's explaining a shot to me.
Oh, my God!
Oh!
I used to make him do everything. Then I'd copy Sooraj ji.
Sooraj sir, you're a pookie.
- Um... - What does that even mean?
[laughter]
- Pookie. - Sir, it's Gen Z slang.
- Yes, sir. - Even we don't get it. - Explain it, you Gen Z guys.
Sir, you are very cute. That's what it means.
Now, take this photo off.
[laughter]
But I remember this shot.
- That day... It was a mirror shot. - Yeah.
And Sonali was so nervous.
Because it was the first shot of the engagement.
Neelam was in it too. She was just as nervous.
It was her first shoot in years, and with makeup!
So, I kept showing more, hoping Karisma
would do it and it'll be easy. That's exactly what happened.
We should see that shot.
[music playing]
[whistling]
'Look at yourself in the mirror.'
'Sister-in-law Preeti.'
'Aww... Your makeup is magic.'
[laughter]
- Manushi, all the best. - Thank you.
[applause]
[singing]
- Wow! So Good! - Wow!
[song playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
[applause]
Thank you!
Too good. This was really...
I was going mad. Can I...
Too good, Manushi! And I was observing
that Karisma ji was enjoying both your songs sitting there.
I... I want to say something.
Manushi, you were brilliant. You were mind-blowing, but...
Sooraj...
The song 'Ye Mausam Ka Jaadu...'
Today, I'm revealing this publicly, this is my favourite song, Sooraj ji.
[song playing]
Thank you for singing this for me today.
Thank you, ma'am.
- I was going mad. - She was having a blast.
She was so glad.
Manasi, you sang with so much simplicity, love,
and innocence.
I remember the time we wrote this song, Shreya.
- Yes. - 'Aate jaate'.
When we sat to write it,
I was sitting with Mr Dev Kohli.
The tune was ready.
So, he asked me what I wanted as it was the title track.
I told him to write whatever I said.
I said, 'I am going to the college, '
'and so is she.'
'So, let's write 'aate jate'.'
Then, I was sitting on the bus.
I thought about laughing. So, 'hanste gaate'.
Then, I thought about something. So, 'kai baar socha mene.'
So, the lyrics of this song came up
as I started talking.
That's why the song is so conversational.
Then, I wanted him to add 'shaayad',
which means I am not sure.
- It's for the title song. - This word wasn't fitting before.
But the music director said, 'I'll fit it if the director wants.'
- It's amazing to hear this. - Yes.
That's how casually these songs were made.
We come up with things in unusual ways at times.
So, thank you. You were good.
Thank you so much.
Every song
has a different level of love.
We can sense it in the compositions and singing.
We know Rajshri Productions' songs by heart.
But you have given your own spin to it.
[romantic music playing]
So, that was wonderful! It was refreshing.
- God bless you. - Thank you very much, sir.
Judges, please tell us the score for Manasi's performance.
[romantic music playing]
Please welcome
Mr Palash Vaswani, the director of OTT series like 'Gullak'
and 'Bada Naam Karenge',
and Mr Anurag Saikia, the composer
of critically acclaimed films like 'Mulk', Article 15, 'Thappad',
and 'Bada Naam Karenge'.
Yeah!
Congratulations to both of you
for bringing such a wonderful story to life
and especially for representing Gen Z
in such a story and music.
- Really looking forward to it. - Thank you so much.
[mellow music playing]
The one coming now will perform
an iconic song from the movie 'Chitchor',
the chicken thief Manasi's brother,
the ideal 'paan' vendor, Subhajit Chakraborty!
- Soundcheck! - Check. Lights above?
Three, two, one!
[mellow music playing]
[laughing]
[audience applauding]
- Did he blank out? - He's in shock.
Yeah.
[everyone cheering]
- So beautiful! - Yeah.
When someone is genuinely crying,
he tries to stop it.
- Yes. - He doesn't show it.
You can see it on his face. He's trying hard to hold back.
Subhajit?
What do you think about our surprise?
Hmm?
[Shreya chuckling]
I am speechless.
I've run out of words, ma'am.
Oh!
- He's so shocked. - Isn't it?
- Why are you making your mother cry? - Don't cry.
[sentimental music playing]
'He's standing on such a reputed stage.'
'We feel so proud of him.'
'Everyone's parents came here.'
'It would've been great if we'
'could have come here.'
'What can we do?'
'Subhajit is everything for us.'
'Now, the 'paan' shop is shut.'
'There is no money.'
'Whatever his father does is all we have.'
[crying]
'I thought about how to come here numerous times.'
[sentimental music playing]
'I thank Indian Idol'
'for supporting our son, '
'giving him this opportunity and bringing us over here.'
I am delighted you're here.
I hope you know what Subhajit is doing.
He sings exceptionally well.
You should be proud
that you have such a capable son.
Your son is so talented.
[audience applauding]
What aunt spoke in Bangla was this.
She said she hadn't seen her son for many days.
And this...
I've seen him on the TV but couldn't touch him.
Subhajit is always smiling.
But he is the scion of his family in every way.
He helps the family.
His father runs a betel leaf shop.
He runs that, too.
Aunt. Let me tell something.
I am saying this to you.
You cannot imagine
what he will do for you.
He will make you famous.
He's already making you proud.
[audience applauding]
I've seen them after three to four months.
So, I...
So, he likes to eat chicken.
[everyone cheering]
- He likes to eat chicken. - Yes.
'I've come from a village.'
'So, I couldn't get chicken.'
'That's why I've got 'sandesh'.'
'All of you can eat it along with him.'
Oh! She has got sweets
- for him because he loves them. - Manushi?
Manushi is my elder daughter.
So, I will feed her these sweets myself.
After a few days,
I will cook chicken for her as well.
[joyful music playing]
We, too, are like brothers for Subhajit.
Isn't it, Badshah sir?
- I've been eyeing it for so long. - Yes.
I will eat. I will eat as well.
- Little? - Yes.
Thank you!
Aha! Wow!
Ma'am, thank you so much.
Aha!
Thank you, ma'am.
Thank you.
Today, my son stands
on India's biggest platform, Indian Idol.
My dream came true.
I
sing
many songs and teach singing
to my son.
That's how
he is at Indian Idol today.
That's why
I am delighted.
I...
[joyful music playing]
I am deeply thankful
to Indian Idol.
Subhajit, this is success, son.
You've made your parents proud.
Nothing is valued more than this.
Keep it up.
This is where heaven lies.
Ensure your parents become famous, not yourself.
[audience applauding]
Subhajit, perform exceptionally
in front of your parents today.
All the best, Subhajit.
Come, sir. Come, madam.
[audience applauding]
[joyful music playing]
[humming]
[singing]
[flute playing]
Superb!
[singing Bengali song]
[audience cheering]
Firstly, the song, 'Gori, tera gaanv',
is beautiful.
It has a folk essence.
[singing]
I was waiting for this note.
It sounded incredible in your voice.
This song is meant for you.
You gave it your magic.
The transition to the Bengali folk!
'Golemale Golemale Pirit Koiro Na'
is one of the most legendary Bengali folk songs.
Today, for the first time,
I saw you transition to the raw notes in folk.
The Baul philosophy in Bengali folk music
is a song about nature.
We're talking to God and connecting with nature.
I saw it for the first time today.
This was a special performance.
I will listen to it after going back.
You sang incredibly, Subhajit. Hats off to you!
Thank you, ma'am.
Subhajit, you sang lovely. It was very nice.
This was Mr Yesudas' first Hindi song.
I was too young, but I know
it was rehearsed for four days.
They sang every word
to get it correctly. Even if you listen carefully,
you won't realise he didn't know Hindi.
Subhajit, I was mesmerised.
Your voice is so beautiful.
I think your parents are here.
That is why your performance was magical today.
I enjoyed it a lot.
God bless you. All the best.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
I want to ask your parents. What do you think about it?
It was great.
Superb!
- Aunt, please tell us. - I am feeling really good.
I like to see my son sing every time.
[audience applauding]
It was a moving performance, for sure.
We also witnessed it today.
Your parents are with you today. So, it was a special moment.
Our show, too,
believes in the philosophy
'If you're with me, we'll reach heights.'
One generation is saying this to the following one.
A partner is saying it to his partner.
So, that song has a lot of meaning, and we witnessed it today.
So, we will be blessed to see you perform it.
Of course, sir. I will try.
If we can have your father,
it will be great.
Okay.
Done.
[audience cheering]
[singing]
So good! Beautiful!
Superb!
So good!
Thank you so much, Subhajit. I am saying this from my heart.
It might be an episode for others, but it was a moment for me.
A boy lives eight hours away from Guwahati.
His song was sung on a platform like Indian Idol.
I am living my dream.
When this episode will be aired,
there will be a feast at my house.
Then, we must say this.
If there is one talented musician
among the newcomers, it is Anurag.
I am so honoured and happy that you're here today.
It's such a beautiful song. Really amazing!
Thank you so much, sir.
Judges, please tell us the score for Subhajit's performance.
One of your close friends, Mr Sooraj,
has said something to you. I want to show it to you.
Let me start from 'Maine Pyaar Kiya'.
Even today, when someone asks me
which film is my best one, I always say 'Maine Pyaar Kiya'.
That film was the purest film I have ever done.
The next film, 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun',
is a hundred times better than the first one.
How does one
at 20 years write 'Maine Pyaar Kiya'
and at 24 years old write 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun'?
He has made some remakes.
One is the purest love story,
and the other is the most amazing family.
They are two different genres.
Then, in the same genre came 'Hum Saath-Saath Hain.'
[song playing]
He made 'Vivaah' after that.
He makes a film when he has something to say.
He knows that he can make a difference in society.
He knows that he can impact people
with niceness.
That is the only time he makes a movie.
- So nice! True! - What a beautiful thing to say!
When he knows he can impact people with niceness.
- Niceness! Such a beautiful line! - What a precious thing!
[audience applauding]
Presenting the new legend of old legacy, Sneha Shankar.
[applause]
[singing]
Shut up!
What?
17?
'Mukhda' and 'Antra...'
- 'Mukhda' and 'Antra...' - Peeled orange.
- Great presentation! - Life's mantra.
- Wow! Wow! - Presentation...
- Wow! - Designer orange.
[music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
What fun!
The soul is satisfied. The soul is satisfied.
Amazing!
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
Sneha, you were wonderful!
It felt like Karisma was
truly singing or performing.
This song... This song was designed for her.
Just like 'Didi' was made for Madhuri.
It felt like
it did justice to her.
Thank you so much.
This song reminds me of two moments.
If you think about it, Karisma might remember,
the most important part of a song is always the beginning.
So, I made Karisma sit down. Then I told her
to cover her face as mother-in-law was in front of her.
As soon as the camera started rolling
I told Karisma, 'I can't see your eyes.'
And she said, 'Don't worry, I'll give you.'
So if you watch the shot closely...
You can't see beyond here.
But she smiled while singing
That's Karisma Kapoor for you.
In this song Saif was really nervous.
But Saif's face... He was
wanting to do the best.
He kept practising
and sweating like crazy.
Back then, there were no vanity vans.
So he kept practising and sweating even more.
I asked him, 'Why, Saif?' He said, 'No, I'll give my best.'
I said, 'You're a natural actor. Why do you want to do this?'
Honestly,
no one knows this. But one day, I arranged
for him to take a sleeping pill at night.
For this song.
Because he wouldn't sleep all night.
Doing it! Doing it! Doing it!
Oh, God!
And the next day, one take and it was done!
She's a one-take artist.
There was another shot...
A trolley shot... A big one...
[singing]
And this is a typical Sooraj Barjatya...
Any heroine would die to do this shot, you know...
A little sway, a little strut.
I was like, 'Oh my God! I... I have to nail this!'
I was so nervous in that trolley shot.
Go on, Sneha! You sing. She'll do it.
- Come on! - I want to see that expression.
[singing]
[cheering]
[singing]
Too good! Too good!
Amazing!
Badshah...
Sneha!
Sneha, what was that?!
Do you know how I felt listening to your song? Like
when I used to play as a kid I'd get so thirsty.
- Then I'd drink tap water... - Amazing! - Tap...
I swear... It hit differently!
- Oh, dear. - Thank you... Thank you so much!
Judges, give the scores for Sneha's performance.
Huh? Happy?
Vishu sir, Sooraj sir is here.
Karisma ji is here - Come on!
- Come on! - So why not
recreate that moment on this stage?
Sir, you direct.
And Karisma ji... You just do your thing.
How can I be directed again? I'm really nervous.
I am feeling really nervous.
Come on, you will rock it!
And the role of Saif... Who's going to play it? Do you know?
Badshah.
Oh, wow! Amazing! Badshah!
- I've trained him for this. - Let's do it.
- Come on, Badshah! - It will be my honour.
Oh...
Badshah as Saif...
And Karisma ji as Karisma ji.
- A huge round of applause! - Please come on the stage. - Oh God!

I'm getting nervous in front of...
You're nervous?
- In front of Sooraj ji... - Then what about me?
Come on, Saif!
Badshah boy, come on!
Who even sits like that?
Sit properly!
[applause]
Action!
Can I ask you something?
Hope you won't mind.
Go on. I'm sitting here to talk to you affectionately.
[music playing]
Go on. Go on.
Go on.
Amazing! So natural...
Since childhood,
you've always joked around with me.
Talking about all sorts of things.
Is it just for fun...
Or is it something more?
What do you mean?
Nothing. Good night.
What if I ask you the same question?
[music playing]
I asked first.
What was the question?
Think about it all night. What was the question?
Answer me in the morning.
When will it be morning?
[cheering]
Uff!
- Wow! - You killed it!
So beautiful, Karisma. Badshah ji, so nice.
You should always be in the spotlight.
Badshah boy is killing it, huh?
Full-on!
You spoke so sweetly.
So softly... She does it.
And you're even softer.
Thank you, sir. Thank you so much. Thank you.
That was great fun. That was great fun.
That was great fun, Badshah!
I think your soft-boy era has officially begun.
So, presenting,
rocking, smashing,
Anirudh Suswaram.
[applause]
Aadi. There was a discussion about this
in yesterday's episode. He has worked with Rajshri a lot.
Suresh sir also told
how he admires SPB sir.
So, I had this blessing of
being associated with SPB sir
at the personal level for 20 years.
[music playing]
Until he, unfortunately, passed away in COVID.
I had this bad luck because
when he passed away,
I couldn't go to his funeral.
So, that is the biggest regret.
Since he has worked a lot with you,
I am trying to remember him and sing his songs
for you.
So, I just wanted to share that. Thank you.
[applause]
'How could I leave'
'without celebrating your birthday?'
'Enough. Now come here.'
- 'How's the gift? - It's a lovely dress.'
- 'Shall I try it on? - There's another one too.'
'Something like this.'
[music playing]
'Shall I wear it and show you?'
- Wow! - What a scene! - What a...
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
[music playing]
Wow!
Thank you, sir.
You sang beautifully, Anirudh.
It reminded me of Balu ji.
It was the song
he sang without rehearsing. It was a one-take in Hindi,
Tamil, Telugu and even Malayalam.
- All in one take, no rehearsals. - What? - Wow!
- One take? - One take.
Slowly...
One day, this...
- But he was a great man. Great... - He was a great man.
- Thank you so much. - You sang very well.
Thank you, sir.
Amazing.
I loved it.
- Thank you, ma'am. - I'm a huge SPB fan too.
I can see how much he inspired you.
And on that note, your performance was fantastic.
- I really liked it. - Thank you.
Judges, please give your scores for Anirudh's performance.
[singing]
This... You don't make moments like that in films these days, do you?
- No. - You felt it, didn't you?
In that moment, you felt vulnerable too.
- You felt shy. - And that was real.
Aadi, are you ready?
Would you like to say something, sir?
I'm taking so much with me from Indian Idol,
I don't even know what to say.
It's all grace, and
I feel so honoured and grateful
to be appreciated amongst such talent here.
The credit goes to Goddess Saraswati. I have no part in this.
It all comes from the heritage I've inherited.
Let's see a glimpse of Rajshri's OTT series
'Bada Naam Karenge'.
[clapping]
Hiding from family,
hiding from neighbours,
why did you take the risk of coming here if you are scared of everyone?
Honestly, I don't know if it's bravery or stupidity,
but I am having fun doing it.
Say it quietly. It's a girl's hostel.
I'll have to come closer to say it quietly.
[song playing]
Actually, I told Divya that you are like a pyjama
that is trying to become a yoga pant.
If I had known before,
I wouldn't have told Ankur that you are like garnishing on penne pasta.
[song playing]
I am going to say something that might change everything between us.
What are you going to say?
We are going to talk about his marriage tomorrow.
- Be careful. - What happened? Are you all right?
Our families think that we are meeting for the first time.
If my family finds out, let alone you, they won't accept me either.
Many guys will give you roses,
but the guys who know how to buy coriander
support us throughout our lives.
[song playing]
I have accepted you as part of my family.
Surbhi studies at Marwana College, right?
- It's Marianna College, uncle. - Something happened there, right?
The girl has been living in a hostel in Mumbai for the last one year.
Can we find something out?
I am having a doubt, dad.
We are feeling guilty
because we are not the people our family thinks we are.
So, we will become that.
Do anything in your life, but don't lie to your family.
The rules of this family are still the same as before.
That's why we are respected a lot.
What respect are you talking about?
There's love in respect.
[song playing]
I will never let them get hurt. I swear.
