Throwback Neha Kakkar Ayushman Khurana were rejected on Indian Idol 2

Most popular singer Neha Kakkar has scaled great heights in the field of music in India and enjoys a massive fan following. With over 70 million followers on Instagram, the singer is among the most followed Indian celebrities on Instagram.

Whereas Neha Kakkar was a judge on the popular singing reality show ‘Indian Idol’, there was a time when she was rejected by the judges on the show back in 2005.

On her birthday today, Ayushmann Khurrana reveals how he and Neha were rejected by the singing reality show.

Amid his appearance on Indian Idol 13 last year as a special guest, Ayushmann Khurrana shared he was rejected by Indian Idol. He also revealed that he was not the only person in the room to be rejected by the show. Neha and he were rejected on Indian Idol on the same day. We travelled together in the train, from Mumbai to Delhi. There were 50 of them, who were rejected together and we were all travelling.

In an old video, which often surfaces on social media, judge Anu Malik is seen bashing Neha for his singing skills. In the video, Anu Malik tells Neha that after he heard her singing, he felt like slapping himself as it was that bad! Filmmaker Farah Khan who was also a judge on the season asked Neha why she picked the song.

Neha slipped into a state of shock listening to the judge’s reaction. However, she went on to become one of the most popular singers of the country.

Now Neha Kakkar is mostly associated with party numbers. She rose to prominence with the release of the dance track ‘Second Hand Jawaani’ from ‘Cocktail’, which was followed by several popular party songs, including ‘Sunny Sunny’ from ‘Yaariyan’ and ‘London Thumakda* from the 2014 soundtrack album “Queen”.
