The music reality show, Indian Idol 12 is nearing its finale and the makers have decided there will be no elimination rounds for a few weeks. The makers have also announced a powerplay round, in which the contestants getting highest votes will automatically get an entry to perform in the finale rounds.

Aditya Narayan, anchor and host of the show, said,

"It’s not the first season when the makers have decided to have no eliminations. There will be no eliminations for a few weeks. It’s a collective call that the entire team, production and channel has taken as our show has been on air since 25 weeks, and it has connected with viewers."

He added, "As a music lover, I wouldn’t mind listening to the exceptionally talented contestants week after week. And the viewers who have enjoyed watching the show would also like to see the talented contestants perform. They are truly superb and hard working. So, essentially, there won't be any eliminations and votes from all weeks will be counted cumulatively and then the eliminations will happen. We are just a few more weeks away from the finale now."

Singer Kumar Sanu will be seen as a guest along with Roop Kumar Rathod and Anuradha Paudwal in the upcoming weekend episode. Kumar Sanu said in a video released by the makers, "The nine contestants are like diamonds and they have entertained viewers for so many weeks. I would like to reiterate that I have not been put under any pressure to speak good about them. We all know that the talent in this season is exceptional."

Currently, Pawandeep Rajan, Shanmukha Priya, Sawai Bhatt, Anjali Gaikwad, Arunita Kanjilal, Sayli Kishore Kambli, Mohammed Danish, Nihal Tauro and Ashish Kulkarni are competing with each other. Formerly, season 10 of Indian Idol had also introduced the concept of 'no elimination' rounds because of good talent in the show.

Indian Idol 12: Aditya Narayan asks guest Kumar Sanu if he was forced by the makers to praise the contestants after Amit Kumar's controversial statement


Post Amit Kumar's controversial statements about being forced to praise the contestants on Indian Idol 12 by the makers, host Aditya Narayan in the upcoming episode will cheekily seek reply from guest Kumar Sanu about the genuineness of his opinion about the contestants.

In the new teaser of the show, Aditya Narayan asked Kumar Sanu after the show was over, "Sir, you have praised the contestants on the show today. I want to ask if you have done it from your heart or someone from our team asked you to."

This led the audience to clap and cheer for his bold question. Kumar Sanu replied that he liked all the contestants and said that all 9 of them are diamonds. He called them talented and applauded the wealth of experience they already have. He added that whatever judgment and praise he had showered was genuine.

To this judge, Himesh Reshammiya said, "Pandemic ne bahut kuch seekha diya hai. Pyaar karo, pyaar banto, appreciate karo, logon ki honsla afzai karo, logon ko aage leke jao yaar. Jai Mata Di. Let's rock. (Pandemic has taught us a lot. Love people, spread love, appreciate, encourage and help others to move forward in life)."

The whole controversy around the talent of the contestants and the fake adulation showered by the judges started after Amit Kumar appeared for an episode dedicated to Kishore Kumar. In an explosive interview to ETimes TV, Amit slammed the makers for forcing him to praise all the contestants and said that he did not enjoy the episode at all.

He had said, "I did what I was told. I was told sabko praise karna hai. I was told jo jaisa bhi gaaye usko uplift karna hai because it's a tribute to Kishore da. I thought it will be a homage to my father. But once there, I just followed what I was asked to do. I had told them to give me portions of the script in advance, but nothing of that sort happened."
