Meet the Judges and the Host

**Host- Aditya Narayan **

Season 11 of Indian Idol is being hosted by the playback singer, television host, and Bollywood actor, Aditya Narayan. Although the singer has hosted a number of singing reality shows like Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and Rising Star, it is the first time that he is hosting Indian Idol.

Judges

Vishal Dadlani

Vishal Dadlani is one of the top music directors in the Hindi Film Industry. Having judged singing reality shows like Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Jo Jeeta Wohi Super Star, and Amul Star Voice of India previously, Vishal Dadlani has roped in as the judge of Indian Idol for the second time. He first judged the season 10 of Indian Idol.

Neha Kakkar

From being one of the contestants of Indian Idol season 3 to getting selected for the judging panel of the show, Neha Kakkar’s journey in Indian Idol has been an inspiring one. She is one of the most sought after singers in Bollywood at present.

Anu Malik

Anu Malik, who has judged almost all the seasons of Indian Idol, is back as a judge on the show for this season too. The singer and director was replaced by Javed Ali in the previous season, on the account of #MeToo allegations levelled against him. On 21 November 2019, Malik stepped down as the Indian Idol 11 judge. In a statement to TOI, Anu said,

I have taken this decision voluntarily. I want to take a three-week break from the show and get back to it only after I have cleared my name. While the channel has been supportive, it’s solely my decision to take this break. All I want to say is that before jumping to a conclusion, it’s important to hear the other side as well.”

**Himesh Reshammiya **

The singer and music director, Himesh Reshammiya, replaced Anu Malik as the new judge on the show. Himesh has previously mentored Sony TV’s singing reality show “Superstar Singer.”

After clearing several rounds of the auditions, the top 15 contestants have secured their places in the final competition. The participants will compete with each other for several weeks and the show will ultimately reach its finale. Now, let us introduce you to the ‘Real Heroes’ of the show.
