'Holi With Hema Malini'
[cheer and applause]
Ah!
[song continues]
[song concludes]
[cheer and applause]
Give it up for India's OG 'Dream Girl' Hema Malini!
[applause]
We are fortunate
you're here to add charm to our Holi special.
We're so grateful, ma'am. Thank you for coming.
I'm also extremely happy.
- It's like meeting my family today. - Yes.
And Indian Idol is very special to me also.
I've watched many episodes.
And Holi is in the air today.
I'm sure it's going to be wonderful.
It is going to be, now that you're here. Thank you.
[song playing]
[applause]
Good.
[cheer and applause]
Hail Goddess Radha.
- Hail Goddess Radha. - Hail Goddess Radha.
[song continues]
Today, I've brought a gift for you.
- Should I call them? - Yes.
- Yes? - Yes.
Please come.
[upbeat song playing]
[whooping]
Yes!
Whoa!
I'm back on Idol, baby! Yay!
We missed you so much.
[applause]
Honestly, being here is like...
This is like my home and I'm so happy to be back.
So happy to have you back.
- Thank you so much, Vishal. Thank you. - Yes.
Always a pleasure to be back.
Judges, presenting the hen thief from Kharagpur,
Subhajit Chakraborty!
[upbeat song playing]
Sunidhi also...
When she sings for Anu, she becomes Anu fully!
"Holi! It's Holi."
She sings like this. She does a great mimicry.
"Holi!"
"It's Holi."
[vocalising]
[Subhajit performing]
Ah!
Yes, come on.
Ah!
[performance continues]
[vocalisation]
Ah! Bravo.
[performance continues]
Lovely.
[performance concludes]
[applause]
Fantastic.
Outstanding.
Thank you so much, sir.
Outstanding.
'Rang Barse' sounded very different in Subha's voice
because we have heard Amitabh singing it
in his heavy voice.
"Oi!"
- Sorry! What? - "Oi!"
[laughter]
I'm sorry. Can't do that.
It's not possible in our voices
but 'Rang Barse' sounded great in Subha's lovely, velvety voice.
It exuded fun, it...
And your group of performers were having fun too.
Chaitanya's dialogue made it even more fun.
It was so good.
- "Clove and cardamom! - Clove and cardamom!"
In the middle, you quickly changed the tempo
to bring about a transition.
It was very nice.
I've heard thousands of versions of 'Rang Barse'.
Your version had an unparalleled purity.
This song is such that a parody is very easy to do.
Whoever sings it tries to copy the original
and the song loses its originality.
The song in itself...
I think the song was written by Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
It's beautiful...
Lyrically, it possesses fun and sentiments of Holi.
And yet the way you presented it was very pure.
And I think you really brought that to life.
You're doing justice to the song
- so that the song sounds beautiful. - Thank you so much, sir.
I've really... I'm telling you. I wasn't here for two weeks.
There are some voices I truly missed.
Your voice is one of them.
It was marvellous.
- Marvellous. - Thanks a lot, sir. Thank you so much.
I think the sargam you sang was a masterclass.
You're definitely in the top three for me.
- Definitely. - Wow.
Wow.
Right?
- Absolutely. - Yes.
I agree.
I see him there.
- Subhajit. - Yes.
- You were excellent. - Thank you so much, ma'am.
Whoever sings it will be compared to Amitabh
as he has made it very popular.
And it is very difficult to emote all the different moods
in which the song was originally sung.
So, you were able to do all those things.
You really did well.
- Thank you so much, ma'am. - It was beautiful.
Thank you.
Ma'am, it feels great that you're here.
We're very excited.
I make 'paans'.
I have made 'paans' based on some of your songs.
Before that, I have some 'paans' for you too.
Oh!
They need to identify
which one is Subhajit's and which one's mine.
You'll have to...
- Guess. - Guess that.
Okay. If we guess it right, what prize will we get?
If you get it right, I'll have to dance.
- Oi! - Oh!
If you get it wrong, you'll have to dance.
Oh!
Present the 'paans'.
[applause and cheer]
This one.
- Watch and learn. - We've to see them and guess!
- Oh, like that. - Yes.
This is not that scene.
Okay, let's start. Oh my God.
Okay, I...
- Oh, wow! - Come on.
This 'paan' is based on the song 'Dilbar Mere'.
This is made by ma'am.
It's made by Hema. Huh?
- Ma'am made it! - Yay!
- See! - Right answer, ma'am.
You have to dance.
[applause]
[song playing]
[whooping]
Oh, my!
[whooping]
Wow!
Ma'am, you're fab.
- Only right answers. - Ma'am, better than the original.
Oh.
I know this.
'Satte'... 'Dukki Ho...'
[song playing]
[Badshah singing]
[Vishal singing]
- Ma'am! - Whoa!
We had to guess who made the 'paan'.
- I love that. - You gave us the prize first!
I love that.
Who made this?
This, obviously... 'Satte Pe Satta', come on.
Hema, this is yours.
Yes! Correct answer, right?
- My, oh, my! - [laughter]
- There's no difference. - Once more! Once more...
[song playing]
[whooping]
Fabulous.
Ma'am, we've played many games on the show.
- This is the best one of the season. - Yes.
- It'll be fun to eat the 'paan'. - Too good, come on.
Which is the next dance?
And this 'paan' is...
- This is the best 'paan'. - Oh, my!
Best one.
- This is the best one. - Hema!
Made by you!
[song playing]
Dad, I danced with Hema Malini! Yes!
Okay. Seriously, guys.
- Give Hema... - You're a rock star.
- A standing ovation. - Oh my God!
- Everybody! - Everyone, come on.
- Such sporting guests are rare. - What a sport!
- Ma'am, thank you so much. - Please.
[applause]
- Mind-blowing. - Amazing.
We all ran out of breath but she didn't.
Unbelievable.
Amazing.
Lovely.
Judges, please write down your scores for Subhajit.
Coming up next is a song from the film 'Dharmatma'
which will be performed by Priyangshu and Myscmme.
[romantic song playing]
[laughter]
The thing is not both are in love!
[laughter]
[applause]
[music playing]
[Priyangshu performing]
[Myscmme performing]
- Hey! - Hey.
You admitted to it today!
He's smiling too much. Eh, Priyangshu?
Why are you blushing?
Uh... [giggles]
Your performance was wonderful.
It had some lovely questions and answers
and the colours of Holi...
You increased their saturation level I think.
The colours are so bright and beautiful
because of how beautifully both of you sang.
- Thank you so much, ma'am. - Thank you so much.
[clears throat]
- Thank you, guys. - Thank you so much.
- Lovely. That was beautiful. - [coughing]
[applause]
Hema, Fardeen Khan was a guest in this season
and he mentioned an interesting story about you.
- I'd like to show you. - Okay, sure.
'When this song was being shot,'
'someone made a goof up on set.'
'My father's anger is well-known.'
'Hema was getting ready.'
'Her make-up box was near Mr. Khan.'
'He couldn't get a shot or someone made a blunder...'
'I don't know what it was.'
'He kicked whatever was in front of him.'
'And the make-up box he kicked belonged to Aunt Hema.'
[laughter]
'He lost half a day's shoot.'
[laughter]
Look, Mr. Feroz Khan was a very passionate filmmaker.
He never called me Hema
because my name in that film was Reshma.
"Reshma, come here."
"We're ready for the shot."
"You have to be like this, baby."
[laughs]
So, I was ready.
I knew he was very serious about the scene.
During the shoot,
someone from the crowd
laughed at something.
It was at some actor doing something
not while shooting, off the shoot.
So, he got furious.
He jumped and came and gave one kick to that place...
He did not see what he was kicking.
Turned out it was my make-up box.
[laughter]
After that, there was pin-drop silence.
No one said a word for two days.
People got scared of him.
Presenting the face of blessing Ragini Shinde!
[applause]
[music playing]
Nice.
[performance continues]
Whoa.
- Wow! - Wow.
Wow!
Well done.
- Too good. - She surprises me.
Every time.
How? She's so young.
[Marathi] Wow! You sang so well.
Ragini, you're my most favourite.
The quality of her voice is so good that...
- It hits you. Her voice cuts like a knife. - Yes.
When you sing such retro gems,
they sound beautiful in your voice.
You sang the second antara of this song beautifully.
That line, 'Shor Machane...'
- Yes, what expression! - It was terrific.
Please sing the second antara. I'll tell you how beautiful...
People should understand why something sounds so beautiful.
[singing]
- Wow! - Kill!
It's coming here. Ah!
- Marvellous. - Wow.
These two lines said so much.
I don't know where you get that maturity from.
That line with waves was so...
Did you get swept away?
[Shreya singing]
This.
This growth seemed like a wave.
That's what I was pinpointing. You understand so much.
Look, we've heard these songs so many times
that they're etched in our minds.
Why are they so iconic?
We get a chance to analyse that
because you guys are singing so well.
"Yes! This was the reason"
- "why the song was popular." - Absolutely.
- Very well said. - Absolutely.
- Thanks! - Absolutely!
First, I'd like to say
that the judges
are beautifully inspiring these young children.
You're guiding them well
which has brought about improvement in them. It's all because of you.
This girl is just 15 years old.
She is singing so well at this age. Wonderful.
[audience cheering, applauding]
You were exceptional.
I played the character of a hilly girl in 'Kudrat'.
She was an innocent girl.
The director wanted innocence for that character.
He used to repeat, "you're an innocent girl from the mountains."
Similarly, my co-actor Rajesh Khanna
played the character of someone who doesn't know about love.
Both of them were such characters.
This song was picturised on us.
I was lip-syncing this song.
I think the song was beautiful.
This song has been popular since then.
You sang really well, and she summed it up perfectly
by talking about the second antara.
Your expression in the second antara was beautiful.
- 'Shor machane lagi man me'. - Yes.
[Hema singing a song]
- Aha! - Beautiful.
The lyrics were amazing,
and the music was by R.D. Burman.
- Yes. - Yes. Even that song.
- Burman Da rocks! - I'm truly lucky
because R.D. Burman composed countless songs for my films.
And all songs are superhit.
When I grace such programmes,
I become nostalgic hearing these songs.
I recall all those beautiful memories.
Thanks a lot. God bless you.
You'll shine like anything.
- Wow! - Thank you, ma'am.
I don't think you perform under pressure.
I think you enjoy it and look forward to it.
You're enjoying this journey,
and the good thing is that you know when to do what.
You've taken things up a notch
because the competition is tougher now.
It is becoming tougher for us as well.
Your expressions are incomparable at your age.
You're a prodigy.
Thank you, sir.
I want to tell you that I love your voice.
I've been hearing you for years.
Your voice is beautiful
and I wish you sang for one of my films.
- Oh my God! - I don't think you sang a single song for me.
I have a favourite song sung by Ms Lata.
- I'd be happy if you sang it for me. - Sure, ma'am.
'Prem Deewani'. [singing a song]
Oh! It's a beautiful song.
- Aha! - [Hema singing a song]
- It's picturised on you and Dharmendra. - Yes.
Of course, ma'am. Let me try.
[Shreya singing a song]
Well done.
Bravo.
[Shreya singing a song]
'Wonderful.'
'Aha!'
[Shreya singing a song]
'Amazing.'
- Oh, my! - Wonderful!
- Bravo! - Well done!
I fulfilled one of my dreams.
You were lip-syncing while I was singing. Oh, my!
I have a favourite song of yours.
[Shreya singing a song]
[Shreya continues singing a song]
[Shreya singing a song]
- Aha! - Gosh!
- Woo-hoo! - Fabulous!
Wow!
You're so amazing!
I want to do a film
in which you sing for me.
- Of course, ma'am. - It should be a dance number.
- Yes! - We should do it.
- That's right. - It would be great fun, right?
- I'll love it. - Yes! Yes! I'm so excited.
Please keep this promise.
I swear. Beautiful!
Everybody, presenting Indian Idol's most beautiful girl, Myscmme Bosu!
[audience cheering, applauding]
Myscmme, please tell us. Did you play Holi?
- It was great. - Did you have fun?
We had great fun and enjoyed a lot.
But one person wasn't too well. His name is Priyangshu.
- Who is he? Oh, yes. Focus... - Oh, no!
Actually, Shreya asked him to stay more focused.
'Priyangshu doesn't seem focused these days.'
'Get your focus right.'
Please check how he focused.
- All right. - Let's see.
'- Priyangshu, where are you? - Hey!'
'Please don't disturb me.'
[singing a song]
'- Hey! - Oh, no!'
'Happy Holi!'
'I don't want to play!'
[thrilling music playing]
[screaming]
[Priyangshu singing notes]
'At least play Holi with Myscmme.'
'She has been waiting for you.'
'- Really? - Yes.'
- Oh, my! - Well done!
[laughing]
'What's the matter?'
'Happy Holi, Uncle.'
[laughing]
Oh, no!
[laughing]
Please don't feel bad.
- Well done. - Aw!
You all are mischievous.
I asked Priyangshu to focus a little.
There was no need to focus so much. You can play Holi at least.
I regret what happened to you.
But we don't. Only Shreya regrets it.
- We enjoyed it. - I felt you deserved it.
Very good!
- All right, all the best! - All the best!
Thank you!

[Myscmme singing a song]
[Myscmme vocalising]
Woo-hoo!
[audience cheering, applauding]
Beautiful!
- Fabulous! - Thank you so much.
It's madness.
You know, this is our song from 'War'.
It is sung by two boys.
I never expected a girl to sing it.
She smashed it. She is better than both of us.
I sang one of the versions. She is better than me, 100%.
- Bravo! - Myscmme! Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!
Oh my God!
We never expected it to be so impactful when we created this song.
[laughing]
You truly brought the lyrics to life.
"Hail Shiv Shankar. The mood is upbeat."
I don't sing it live
because the antara is almost impossible. I mean the notes.
It's a bizarre composition. We had fun while composing it.
Then the onus was on the singer.
[guffawing]
But you smashed it. You completely smashed it. Outstanding.
Thank you so much, sir.
- Myscmme, you were outstanding. - Thank you so much, ma'am.
You were absolutely professional. Too good.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
- Thank you, ma'am. - God bless you.
Myscmme, your hard work is apparent.
She is focused.
Yup!
Starting from 'Jai Jai Shiv Shankar'.
It's a duet.
You were singing both Kishore Kumar's and Lata Mangeshkar's lines.
It's like a question and answer.
I liked the fact that you were changing your tone.
As if you were answering those questions.
Then you changed our mood in the second song.
You introduced so many nuances.
- Is the wording the same as the original? - No.
The wording is the same,
but what she did at the end is new.
- Right? - Completely! I myself was shocked.
[Myscmme vocalising]
- Well done. - Incredible.
Um, I want to say something.
- Yes. - You sang so well and set the stage on fire.
But our poor Priyangshu...
I asked you to stay focused in the last episode.
He was so focused that he didn't play Holi.
You have my permission now.
You may apply colours to your favourite person.
[drums beating]
- Come on, Priyangshu. - Please apply on my behalf.
[song playing]
- Hail the lovers of Holi! - All hail!
[background music]
[song playing]
'Hey! What happened?'
Hail Radhe!
- Hail Radhe! - Hail Radhe!
Our dark-complexioned Krishna
endured being beaten with sticks. Now you may apply colours.
Permission granted!
[laughing]
Come on!
[song playing]
Well done.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Thank you, everybody. Thank you, Ms Hema. - Thank you so much.
Judges, please score Myscmme's wonderful performance.
Uh...
I forgot what I was saying.
I was trying to find the right words
to convey my thoughts.
- What is it? - I mean...
He hails from the north.
Oh!
Entire India...
[laughing]
Only God knows. He may form a sentence soon.
Ms Hema had fans across the world,
but we hail from the north
and were particularly proud because her partner was North Indian.
[guitar strumming]
Dharam Paji! So we felt happy about it.
[guffawing]
I was trying to find the right words. But...
Didn't you find the words yet?
[guffawing]
Actually, ma'am, he is a big fan of yours.
So he was tongue-tied.
[song playing]
He has seen many of your films,
so he is star-struck.
He is nervous today
because he is also trying to act a little.
He memorised some of your dialogues.
I think he remembers a few.
We must listen to him.
- Are you ready? - Come on!
- Badshah! - Let's go.
I'm ready.
- Please shoot. - Come on!
- Just do it! - You can do North India proud.
- Ma'am, are you ready? - Yes.
- Give him a round of applause. - Please applaud, everybody.
Please give it up for Badshah and Ms Hema.
This scene is from the film 'Dream Girl'.
Dharmendra meets Ms Hema for the first time in this scene.
Let's see what happens in the scene.
- Presenting Badshah as Dharam Paji. - Oh!
- And Ms Hema as Dream Girl! - "Scoundrel!"
[audience cheering, applauding]
[chuckling]
You're a poet's ghazal!
What?
A lotus in the pond.
What do you mean?
- Dream Girl! - "Dream Girl!"
No! No! I'm a princess.
[song playing]
Aw!
[song playing]
Wow!
It's so cute!
[song playing]
Wow!
- Woo-hoo! - [audience cheering, applauding]
Woo-hoo!
Wonderful!
How sweet!
Gosh! He is feeling too hot.
[laughing]
Wow!
I can't express what I feel.
It's her aura.
It's a presence where you lose yourself.
And her presence is so divine.
You're amazing, ma'am. Simply amazing.
Ma'am, it's the cutest thing I've ever seen.
You transformed into the school-going Badshah,
- just like little Aditya. - Yes.
- Genuinely! - Oh, man!
How could anyone look so cute?
I prepared Badshah beforehand.
[guffawing]
Did he perform well?
Huh!
I had heard a lot about him,
but I got the chance to meet him for the first time.
- You're sweet and lovely. - Thank you.
- Thank you, ma'am. - You're a wonderful person.
- Thank you! - I have heard all your songs.
Thank you!
Well done.
Her singing will blow our minds.
Manasi's best friend
and the new legend of an old legacy, Sneha Shankar!
Woo-hoo!
[musical instruments playing]
[Sneha vocalising]
[Sneha continues vocalising]
[Sneha singing a song]
Beautiful!
[singing]
Lovely!
[singing]
[music playing]
[vocalisation]
- Wow! - That's brilliant!
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
Amazing!
[singing]
Outstanding.
[vocalisation]
[applause and cheer]
It's mind-bending. I have no idea how you manage it.
I've given up trying to figure it out.
Thank you.
There's a kind of surrender when you stop questioning.
You just let yourself flow and fully enjoy the experience.
I should learn something from this.
I should take the emotions I feel here at home.
What you do is miraculous.
[applause and cheer]
I think, on behalf of all of us, we may never know
how much we love you, but this season is incomplete without you.
- That's lovely! - Thank you so much.
[singing]
Not at all!
This song is emotional.
It's from the film Kudrat.
It's one of the best films of my career.
[song playing]
When I hear this song, I enter that world.
It's so lovely! The character was nice.
I believe that in my film career,
I have done double roles around eight times.
So, this was quite interesting.
A complete contrast to Seeta Aur Geeta.
I played a role
of a girl from the mountain.
The second role was of a modern girl coming to Shimla.
Rajesh Khanna, Vinod Khanna
and Raaj Kumar starred opposite me.
I played a role with all three of them.
And it was a difficult role.
The director was Chetan Anand. He made the film so well.
We used to go and shoot there every season.
I was reminiscing about those days.
Rajesh Khanna sang this particular song with me.
'Humen Tumse Pyar Kitna, ' Kishore Kumar sang this.
And the same song you sang was sung by Parween Sultana.
You sang very nicely. It was very much like her.
- God bless! - Thank you, ma'am.
When I was learning this song,
- I also heard Shreya's version. - Really?
- I did one. - It is one of my favourite songs.
- We haven't heard it. How can we believe you? - Yes.
- Right! - You don't know what Sneha is talking about.
[laughing]
[singing]
Wow!
[vocalisation]
Beautiful!
[singing]
Nice!
[applause]
Wow!
[applause and cheer]
Goosebumps.
Thank you, Sneha. Because of you, we got to hear her sing this.
Because I haven't heard this version.
You sang 'You didn't know the value' twice and I had tears.
I don't know what it is and how you do it. I don't know how you do this.
- You are a miracle. - You don't know my value.
[laughing]
It's actually true. It's unbelievable.
I love it!
Please score Sneha, Judges.
[song playing]
What a song!
Ma'am, this song with you and Mr. Dharam in it
is a beautiful song. It is a Holi song.
Everyone knows the Holi song from the film Sholay.
- 'Holi Ke Din.' - Yes.
- 'Hori Khele Raghuveera' and 'Rang Barse'. - Correct.
But this song didn't get the importance.
But it's a very beautiful Holi song.
I remember it so well. It was from the film Rajput.
Along with Mr. Dharam...
The background and all were in Rajasthani style.
Again, this song is important to me.
I think of this song all the time.
Because I was expecting Esha at that time.
- I was eight months pregnant. - What?
- And I was dancing and did everything. - What?
Nobody could make it out.
- Eight months? - Yes.
- It never showed on screen, though. - No, it did not.
Whenever I got pregnant, my face wasn't obvious.
That is amazing.
You are an inspiration. Women listen to this.
Inspiration and dedication.
Hats off.
Wow!
- Abhijeet! - Yes?
I am a singer.
- Hmm! - Really? Is that so?
- What are you saying? - Wow!
- Yes! - You missed it.
I'm venturing into anchoring as well.
I have a request.
May I come on stage and introduce myself?
I'd like to get some practice.
- Amazing! - Please come.
- Come on! - Chaitanya, come on.
Chang and Abhijeet, we have faith in you as singers.
But when it comes to hosting, he wants to do it.
[applauding]
So, judges! Inspired by my revered Adi,
I would like to ask
all of you a question.
- Hey, come on! - Oh!
Abhijeet has money,
a car, a career,
a bank balance, songs,
but what is it
that he doesn't have? Tell me.
What is that?
He doesn't have 'Mohabbatein'.
Because he has given away all his affection.
- Oh! - Oh wow!
[applause]
[singing]
[cheering]
With a bad joke,
let's welcome the one from Alandi.
The one who has a powerful voice,
anchoring is brilliant,
and that's me, Chaitanya Devde.
What?
That was brilliant. It was good.
I love it! You will get the job.
[singing]
[applause and cheer]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
Lovely!
[music playing]
[singing]
[applause and cheer]
Oh!
[singing]
Once more! [audience chanting]
- Superb! - Once more! [audience chanting]
Wow!
Thank you.
Oh my God! Fantastic.
When you sing like this, that's when music happens,
that's when it leaves an impact, and that's when devotion takes place.
That's when a song becomes truly successful.
What a performance!
I need to salute Ajay-Atul for this song.
The cosmos was communicating through them
while they were creating that song.
Singing it and adding your own words,
Shreya and I were like, is this person okay?
Unbelievable! Unbelievable, Chaitanya.
Believe me, I am not joking. I have six broken bones.
Otherwise, I would've carried you to your seat.
Thank you, sir.
If the doctor examines me tomorrow and says that my bones have healed,
I'll give you the credit.
[laughing]
- Too good, buddy. Too good. - Thank you, sir.
- Chaitanya, you sang a powerful song. - Yes, ma'am.
You sang beautifully.
It was really unbelievable. God bless you.
Thank you. Thank you, ma'am.
This song was like a finale performance.
Earth, sky, stars,
water, wind, you've managed to break through them all.
The alap at the end completely won my heart.
[applause]
You sang so wonderfully.
Amazing!
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you so much.
If someone had asked me who will sing this song,
I would have taken your name.
Because the character is extremely pure.
There is a deep sense of service and devotion in it.
And you are the one who can be true to this song.
- Lovely! Well said. - Thank you, sir.
Judges, not just us,
the biggest celebrities of Bollywood are Chaitanya's fans.
Recently, Anil Kapoor's family
called Chaitanya to perform on Maha Shivratri.
Let me show you a glimpse.
Awesome!
[applauding]
[singing]
Amazing!
'Chaitanya was absolutely spellbinding.'
'His performance was superb.'
'His voice is amazing.'
- 'Thank you, Chaitanya. - Thank you so much, ma'am.'
[cheering]
Amazing! Congratulations, Chaitanya.
Yes, sir.
I want to thank Indian Idol and all of you
with all my heart.
Because of your guidance, I could go there.
While singing,
I saw that the entire Bollywood was there.
Shilpa ma'am,
was sitting on a chair.
I started singing, and she immediately sat down on the ground,
lost in devotion.
It was a pleasure meeting them. Everyone gave me their blessings.
Sunita ma'am and Anil Kapoor sir
watch Indian Idol.
And they love all the contestants.
They have given their blessings to everyone.
- Amazing! - Wow!
Thank you so much, Chaitanya.
May you mesmerize everyone and leave them spellbound.
Well done! A big hand for Chaitanya.
They say dreams don't come true just by seeing them.
You have to live it and fight for it.
A perfect example of this is with us today,
Chang, who has had a journey from being an Indian Idol contestant
to becoming an actor, singer, and performer.
He has faced many ups and downs along the way.
We would love for you to share your journey with us.
My story is simple.
I somehow ended up on this stage
many years ago. It has been 17 years.
And it wasn't easy.
Because there were amazing singers
and musicians.
I competed with them, learned from them,
gained insights from the judges, and was loved by the audience
as I cleared the first stage.
But once this show ends,
your journey begins.
It doesn't work if I close the doors and sit in the room.
I must open the door
and maximize this opportunity.
I need to make it happen.
So, that's how I am here today.
Amazing!
I want to say that this stage
has not only represented singers
but is also advancing platforms for actors like you.
You've created your own unique world.
So, it's not just about artists or singers,
it's about the actors in this industry.
And one of the biggest examples of this is here with us, Mr. Chang.
