MUMBAI: This weekend, Indian Idol Season 15 promises to deliver unforgettable episodes filled with nostalgia and jaw-dropping revelations. The stage will light up with the vibrant presence of Bollywood’s beloved on-screen duo, Neelam Kothari and Govinda, whose sizzling chemistry and effortless dance moves once captivated audiences. As they take a walk down the memory lane, reminiscing about their iconic careers, emotions run high while contestants pay heartfelt tributes to their timeless songs. The atmosphere is charged with energy, and the evening unfolds surprising moments, including Neelam’s intriguing revelation about not signing on for the iconic Salman Khan starrer, Maine Pyaar Kiya.

During a candid conversation, Badshah recalls a recent episode where renowned filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya revealed that Neelam was initially considered for the lead role in Maine Pyaar Kiya — the film that went on to define an era of romance and made Bhagyashree a household name alongside Salman Khan. He said, “The last time Sooraj Sir was here, he told us that he had reached out to you for Maine Pyaar Kiya, but for some reason, it didn’t work out.” Neelam confirms the story, saying, “Yes, unfortunately, I didn’t have the dates at the time.” The revelation leaves everyone on set stunned!

Keeping the nostalgia alive, Badshah then brings up another unforgettable moment from Neelam’s career—her iconic song Aap Ke Aa Jane Se, which remains a party anthem to this day. Before the discussion, contestants Myscmee and Biswaroop take centre stage, delivering an amazing rendition of the iconic song. After the performance, Badshah turns to Neelam asking how she felt when the song recently went viral again. Neelam, still amazed by its timeless popularity, responds, “It was unbelievable! We shot the entire song in just one and a half to two days, that too in the snow. I never imagined that even after 37 years, people would still love it so much!”

Bollywood actors Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and Rakul Preet Singh also join the show to promote their upcoming comedy, Mere Husband Ki Biwi. The episode promises a perfect blend of nostalgia, fun, and never-before-heard stories.

Get ready for a night of jaw-dropping revelations and electrifying performances! Don’t miss Indian Idol 15, this Saturday and Sunday at 8:30 PM, only on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV!
