Indian Idol 5 sees a shocking elimination..

Loyal viewers of Sony's Indian Idol 5 are in for yet another dramatic result tonight, after the judges decided to use their Veto power to save the talented Rakesh Maini last week.

Shivaji Satam popularly known as ACP Pradhyuman of Sony's long running show CID graced the episode as Special Guest. He seemed to enjoy the performances coming from the top five contestants of this season's show.

A little birdie tells us, "The theme for the episode was 'Raaz'. While Bhoomi gave a sensational rendition of 'Yeh Raat', Sreeram's 'Aaj Ki Raat' was mind blowing. Shivam Pathak sang 'Gumnaam Hai Koi' in typical style and Swaroop Khan mesmerized all with his 'Jahan Teri Yeh Nazar Hai'. Rakesh sang the number 'Aaja Gufawon Mein Aa'.

Our source further informed, "Bhoomi who is the sole girl contestant in the show reached the Top Four along with Sreeram and Rakesh. Shivam and Swaroop found themselves in the bottom two. The junta favoured Swaroop, and Shivam was the unlucky contestant to have lost it out at such a crucial phase of the show. The judges were extremely shocked to see Shivam bowing out. Annu Malek and Salim promised Shivam a song each in their next movie".

Catch the shocking elimination tonight on Sony at 9 PM..
