The composer, singer and actor has joined Neha Kakkar and Vishal Dadlani on Sony Entertainment Television’s Indian Idol season 11. Himesh Reshammiya has replaced composer Anu Malik on the music reality after the latter left the show following sexual harassment complains against him. 

Himesh who was previously seen judging Sony Entertainment Television’s Superstar Singer feels like homecoming to him. Himesh said, “I was a part of Superstar Singer and now my journey continues on Indian Idol 11. Indian Idol is not only one of India’s longest running singing reality shows but also one of the most iconic one. I am extremely elated to be on the judges panel. From here on the responsibility only increases two fold. I have been following this season and I must say that this year has seen phenomenal singers come forward, who I am sure will create ripples in the Indian music industry. In addition to being a platform for the best music, it is also an embodiment of  Ek Desh Ek Awaz as it witnesses support of the entire nation despite caste, creed or religion.”

It's not been a week and Himesh has already signed Sunny Hindustani to sing for his upcoming film. 

This week, the show would be celebrating 90s nostalgia where renowned singer Kumar Sanu and Anuradha Paudwal will be part of the show.
 
Sunny Hindustani won the hearts of the audience with his performance on the song Sanu Ek Pal Chain and Himesh Reshammiya came on stage and announced that he is signing Sunny for his new song in Rajkumar Santoshi’s upcoming movie, and sang few lines of the song with the contestant.

“I have been a follower of the show and have heard you sing on television but listening to you live made me fall for your singing more. The honesty with which you sing is clearly visible in your eyes and I advise you to not loose it. This is what is going to make you successful,” he added.
