MUMBAI: Indian Idol is one of the most popular reality singing shows. It has gained immense success consistently on television.

The previous season was a huge hit and the audience had connected to each and every contestant and it was difficult to pick who would be the winner of the show.

Pawandeep Rajan emerged as the winner of the show and he had become a household name. Today he has a massive fan following.

The last season was judged by Anu Malik who had replaced Vishal Dadlani, Sonu Kakkar who had replaced Neha Kakkar and Himesh Reshammiya, and the show was hosted by Aditya Narayan.

As we had reported earlier that the new season of India Idol has begun and we have already seen how talented the contestants are on the show during the audition, and it is tough for the judges to judge.

The show is going to be judged by Vishal Dadlani, Himesh Reshammiya and Neha Kakkar and the show is going to be hosted by Aditya Narayan.

A lesser-known fact is that judge Neha Kakkar at one point was a contestant on the show on Season 2.

Now, in a throwback video one can see how Farah Khan and Anu Malik insulted Neha Kakkar. In the video, Anu Malik tells Neha that after he heard her singing, he felt like slapping himself as it was that bad!

The singer was shocked to know this and she breaks down, but there is no doubt that Neha has come a long way and today, she is one of the top singers in the country and the judge of the same reality show.
