Indian Idol 12 promos: Neha Kakkar, Himesh Reshammiya and Vishal Dadlani got emotional on hearing contestant Yuvraj Medhe’s story.

Yuvraj revealed that he worked on himself by taking note of the judges’ comments and feedback for other contestants. “Tum har Hindustani ki umeed ho. Koi bhi aadmi kahin pe bhi ban sakta hai, sirf mehnat karne ki zaroorat hai (You give hope to every Indian. Anyone can make it to this stage, they just have to work hard.),” Himesh told him.

Neha, Himesh and Vishal gave Yuvraj a standing ovation and he kneeled and touched his forehead to the ground as a mark of gratitude.

In a third promo, contestant Ashish Kulkarni came on stage, dressed for a job interview. He revealed that he was heading to the final round of an interview straight from the audition. Vishal teased him about multitasking and asked which one he would opt for - Indian Idol or the job - if he cracked both. He replied saying that music is his passion.

Ashish sang Kabhi Kabhi Aditi, impressing Vishal, who told him that his voice was ‘very beautiful and very fresh’. Vishal also appreciated Ashish for not trying to imitate any other singer.

Indian Idol 12, which will see Aditya Narayan returning as the host, will premiere on Sony Entertainment Television from November 28.
