While on Sunday, the platform welcomed actor-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan hosted the iconic actor filmmaker director Rakesh Roshan who shared some of his most memorable moments from his illustrious journey in the entertainment industry.

While the contestants regaled with their exceptional performances, Ayodhya’s Rishi Singh made an impeccable mark on not only Suniel Shetty but Rakesh Roshan as well.

Rishi Singh impressed Suniel by singing ‘Tum Dil Ki Dhadkan Mein’ from the classic movie ‘Dhadkan’. Suniel requested Rishi to playback for his son Ahaan in the future as he would feel ‘blessed’ if Rishi sings for his son. On the performance Suniel Shetty attributed that he understood why his mother liked Rishi so much! He felt that it reminded her of ‘Dev’ from ‘Dhadkan’ and saw her own son in him. If Rishi would have sung this song for him, he felt that he would not have had to do a lot of acting. For an actor, voice is everything and with Rishi’s voice, half the battle is won. That’s why heroes are still alive because the voice behind them are singers and music directors who make a difference in where a hero stands in life.

There’s a need for a voice that takes you beyond boundaries and Rishi has that emotion in his voice. While shooting the song, his director had briefed him to just feel the song and the emotion behind it and that’s what he did and Rishi’s performance brought out of the same emotion. Amid Rishi’s performance, he closed his eyes and felt that his voice could have suited the iconic song perfectly. Rishi is indeed a champion.

Not only this, Rishi’s performance on ‘Dil Ne Dil Ko Pukara’ from the blockbuster ‘Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai’ stupefied Rakesh Roshan! The director highlighted how Rishi sounds exactly like his son, Hrithik Roshan. He shared, “While Rishi was singing, he was thinking to himself that he had heard him sing before. Then he remembered that every time Hrithik hymns, he sounds exactly like Rishi. If he did playback for Hrithik, he believes Rishi’s voice would suit him well.”

Judge Vishal Dadlani agreed and suggested that he be given an opportunity in Hrithik’s next project.
