Shreya Ghoshal gets emotional at Indian Idol 16 Season

Veteran Singer and Judge at Indian Idol 16th Season, Shreya Ghoshal turned emotional as contestant Sankalp Yaduvanshi shared personal struggles

India’s most beloved singing reality show, Indian Idol, has returned with a brand-new season. Under the soulful theme “Yaadon Ki Playlist: Jahaan Awazein Aaj Wali Aur Gaane Aap Wale,” the show celebrates memories, melodies, and emotions from the 90s. Among the voices returning to the iconic stage was Sankalp Yaduvanshi, a familiar face from Indian Idol Junior.

Sankalp, once seen on Indian Idol Junior, returned to the stage, but this time it was his mother by his side instead of his father. Teary-eyed Sankalp shared the difficult journey since his junior days.

After Indian Idol Junior, his parents got separated. Music was their bond, so he is still dealing with the grief and trying his best. That journey from Idol Kids to now was tough. He told Shreya ‘Tu toh meri aulad hi nahi hai.’ he felt broken. His mother, who had always dreamt of seeing him emerge as a singer, now stands proudly beside him. He wouldn’t have reached here without his mother and her sacrifices. His mom never gave up, so he couldn’t give up either, and wants to make that dream come true, no matter what.

Judge Shreya Ghoshal, who remembered Sankalp from his junior days, couldn’t hold back her emotions. “Your mother’s smile while watching you made me so emotional. You are her reason to live, and it’s so important for you to do well. She remembered how strong his singing was in Junior and truly respects him for his strength.

The atmosphere turned emotional as Sankalp’s mother wiped her tears. It was a moment that highlighted a mother’s love, a son’s determination, and the healing power of music. Indian Idol 16 continues to prove that beyond competition and talent, what truly connects us are the stories where dreams are born out of love, support, and courage.
