MUMBAI: Composer Anu Malik is co-judging Sony TV’s Indian Idol with singer Neha Kakkar and singer-composer Vishal Dadlani for the first time, but he says that when he is with them, it feels like he has known them for long and that they are one big family now.

During one of the auditions, Malik cracked a joke that caused Dadlani to fall off his chair and hurt his elbows.

Talking about the incident, Malik said, ‘There was an incident when a singer was auditioning. At one point, when I said something, Vishal broke into laughter and fell off the chair. He fell down and hurt himself.’
