This Saturday, the much loved singing reality show, ‘ Indian Idol 14 ‘, will welcome evergreen actor Urmila Matondkar , wherein the contestants will put their best foot forward to secure their place in the “Top 6” in this special episode titled ‘ Semi-Finals with Urmila’. Paying tribute to Urmila’s journey in the film industry, the contestants will deliver melodious acts, compelling Urmila to take a walk down memory lane and share interesting facts and fun anecdotes, making this episode a must-watch.
But it was Rajasthan’s Piyush Panwar , who owned the stage and once again impressed one and all with his amazing renditions of ‘Bahut Khoobsurat Ho’ from the film Khoobsurat, and ‘Is Pyaar Se Meri Taraf Na Dekho’ from the film Chamatkar.
Impressed by his performance, Urmila said, “You sang beautifully. You have a softness in your voice like Rafi Sahab, which is rare to hear these days.”
Talking about the song and her co-star Shahrukh Khan, Urmila further added, saying, “This song (Is Pyaar Se Meri Taraf Na Dekho) was sung by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik, and it has a separate fanbase. Piyush, you have beautifully attempted the song. I remember filming with the iconic Shahrukh Khan, who is not only a great actor but also a lovely human being. He is one of the finest actors who has also done theatre, he’s been humble since the beginning and he has an aura that makes his co-actors feel comfortable. I feel that the people who have worked with him and shared screen space with him are truly blessed.”
Not only this, Piyush, who discovered his acting talent on Indian Idol, will be seen enacting the famous Rangeela movie hotel scene, impressing Urmila not just with his singing but his acting skills as well.
