While contestants from across the country are auditioning to get a position in the top twelve, a few have captivated the judges with their distinctive voices and passion for singing. One such contestant is Anmol from Punjab, whose wonderful performance of the song 'Ikk Kudi' left everyone spellbound. After learning about his versatile singing, composing, and writing talents, Judge Anu Malik advised him to consider focusing on writing as a profession alongside his singing skills. Not only did he adore Anmol's brilliant shero-shayari on stage, but he also found it mesmerizing. Anu Malik also reminisced about his past, revealing that his initial career aspirations were geared towards acting before he eventually entered the music industry.

Anu Malik said, "You are a great singer, but for me, you are an even better writer. Your fight is with yourself to decide what you want to pursue in life. And I believe in giving my 100% in whatever I do. When I was young, I wanted to become an actor, but after seeing the kind of drive that some of the actors had, I realized that I am not made for the acting industry. And then I started making tunes, and here I'm sitting in front of you. So, all I am trying to say is, do something that you know you can excel in and make the most of your talent."
