As the musical reality show "Indian Idol 9" is all set to start, judges Anu Malik, Sonu Nigam and Farah Khan said they did not feel the gap of 12 years.

One of the judge Anu Malik said, "When we came back and sat through the audition, it felt like yesterday when we listened to so many new talents and had our fight, fun and talk over music," "We did not feel the gap of 12 years," he added.

The second judged Farah Khan said: "The moment we went to the set, we started from where we ended, nothing has changed we are bonded over music and there is a great friendship." Within five minutes, I and Anu had two fights and we sorted that out within 10 minutes. 'Indian Idol' will remain a very special show for me because I started my television career with this show," she added.

While the third judge Sonu Nigam said, "I and Anu are engrossed in music, its technical aspect, voice quality of a participant," "Being a dancer-choreographer, Farah has a strong sense of music that reflects on her judgment and gives us the new perspective of an audience that adds up to the process of judging a talent," he added.

Judges shared the good and bad part of the show, Farah said: "I think choosing the best from so many beautiful talented singers was a tough task and we felt bad to reject some of them."All of them were really really talented singers," she said. Anu Malik said: "Being objective and rejecting was the bad experience."

From 24 December, the show will be aired every Saturday and Sunday at 8 p.m. on Sony Entertainment Television.
