Neha Kakkar is back on television this season as one of the three judges on the singing competition Indian Idol. In a promo for the show, which premieres on Saturday, Neha is seen running into her old friend Vineet Singh in the audition process. But before he finally persuaded her to go ahead, she refused to judge him.
In the trailer, Neha is seen looking surprised as Vineet Singh, a musician from Lucknow, enters the stage carrying a guitar. Neha says, "Usse pahle Vineet Singh aaya tha ek show par, aur wo us show ka star bana tha," after speaking with him. Vineet is also seen getting emotional while sharing his story, leaving co-judge Vishal Dadlani surprised. "To main to judge nahi kar sakti aapko (Vineet had gone on a show where he emerged to be the star of the show. So I can't judge you)"
She finally asks him to sing, saying, "Vineet, tu ga de (sing Vineet, sing)," after Vineet persuades her, saying, "Neha has come to this level with her hard work; I want her to judge me."
The caption for the Indian Idol promo that Sony posted on social media read, "Judge Neha mile unke purane dost se! Vo bhi Indian Idol ke manch par!" (Judge Neha meets her old friend on the stage of Indian Idol).

As a young child, Neha used to perform at religious gatherings. Before becoming well-known as a playback singer, she had also competed in the second season of Indian Idol. She is currently one of the most popular singers in the Hindi film industry.
One of the three judges on the reality show will be Himesh Reshammiya, along with Neha Kakkar and Vishal Dadlani. Every Saturday and Sunday at 8 p.m., Sony will now broadcast Indian Idol.
