In the upcoming episode of Indian Idol 13, Ayushmann, who is currently waiting for the release of his movie Action Hero, will appear to promote the picture. A preview of the episode in which Ayushmann informs the judges about his experience on the show was released by Sony TV on Saturday. Addressing the judges in Hindi, he says, “Neha and I were rejected on Indian Idol on the same day. We travelled together in the train, from Mumbai to Delhi. There were 50 of us, who were rejected together and we were all travelling.” He added, “Neha aaj judge hai aur main yahaan (Neha is a judge today and I am here too). So this really means a lot.” Neha laughs as Ayushmann recounts the anecdotes, while the other judges applaud.

Ayushmann launched a career in anchoring after winning Roadies’ second season in 2004. He didn’t make his Bollywood debut with Vicky Donor till 2012. In 2005, Neha Kakkar participated in the second season of Indian Idol as one of the 12 finalists. A few years after starting her singing career, she had her big break with Second Hand Jawani in Cocktail (2012). In all likelihood, the two appeared together in the 2004 Indian Idol season 1 auditions.
The 13th season of Indian Idol is presently airing, and in addition to Neha, Himesh Reshammiya and Vishal Dadlani serve as judges. Every Saturday, Sony telecasts the programme.
