Talking about the ideal Idol family, Neha Kakkar shares, “Indian Idol has given me more than I can explain. I have a different kind of relationship with everyone here. From being a contestant to now judging the show, I have always found myself involved in the contestant’s journey as I was in their place once. Adi (Aditya Narayan) for me is a ‘sutradhaar.’ He is always there to cheer up the contestants when they are low and plans surprise pizza and burger parties on set to light up everyone’s mood. Himesh sir has always been my Inspiration. I look upto him for personal and professional advice. Vishu sir is a brother to me, and I have a very strong bond with him. I tied him Rakhi this year post concluding our shoot,” she adds.
‘Phir saath aane ka bahana hai, ab mausam musicana hai!’ Indian Idol – Season 13 premieres 10th September, every Saturday & Sunday at 8:00 PM only on Sony Entertainment Television
