MUMBAI: Setting the perfect musical tone with the 90's era this week, Sony Entertainment Television's Indian Idol 12 has curated a special theme called 'Dosti Special with Kumar Sanu and Kavita Krishnamurthy'. Celebrating friendship day, all the Top 6 contestants will be singing hit songs of Kumar Sanu and Kavita Krishnamurthy. Pawandeep Rajan will be seen performing on the songs 'Tum Mile Dil Khile' and 'Tu Hi Re' which will garner a lot of comments from the judges and guests. Following his performance, Kumar Sanu will be seen engaging in a fun banter with him.

Pawandeep Rajan who gives a heartfelt performance will also receive compliments from the judges, especially Kumar Sanu. Highlighting the 'Dosti Special Episode', Kumar Sanu poses a question to Pawandeep. Kumar Sanu asks and pesters him by saying, "As it is friendship day, we are celebrating a Friendship Day special episode, you must also have friends, right? How many friends do you have? Many? Anyone special? Someone who's very special to you? Who is that best friend? Someone who is very close to your heart? Who inspires you to sing?

Pawandeep Rajan shyly responds and says "All of them are my friend but the special best friend is Arunita."

Kumar Sanu then continues, "I got a friendship band but there's only one. So, who would you like to tie it to?" and asks him to tie it to someone who's close to your heart.

Pawandeep Rajan will then be seen tying the friendship band to his bestie, Arunita Kanjilal. After this cute #AruDeep moment, Kumar Sanu will be seen singing a song from 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' titled 'Ladki Badi Anjani Hai'.

"I'm glad that Kumar Sanu Sir gave his honest opinion and inputs basis my performance. It motivates me to better myself and bring out the emotions while I sing. It was an honor to be singing in front of such legends like Kumar Sanu Sir and Kavita Ma'am. Additionally, it was a fun moment where I tied the exact similar friendship band as the one used in the film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to Arunita. It was an enjoyable time for me”, ends Pawandeep Rajan.
