Sonu to be missing from Indian Idol 3

Singer-actor Sonu Nigam had been one of the judges of the talent hunt show Indian Idol for both the seasons. But he'll be missing from Indian Idol 3. Though he cites the reason that he needs time away from television and is looking forward for a break, we cannot rule out that it might be because of the inclusion of his rival Himesh Reshammiya. Sony had approached Himesh Reshammiya to be a judge along with Anu Malik, Farah Khan and Sonu. And sources say that Sonu didn't want to be in the same panel as his rival. However Sonu makes it clear that the channel hasn't approached him at all.

He is currently holidaying in Egypt after a 'truly remarkable' concert and says, "I'm not judging Indian Idol any more. Quite frankly, they never approached me again either. I guess they needed a change as much as I needed time away from television. It's mutually beneficial for both parties." About the concert he says, "We put up a concert of a lifetime in Egypt a few days ago. Performing under the legendary pyramids was an indescribable feeling. For any artist, it's an extraordinary experience."

What are the other things happening in his life? "I'm listening to God with humility now. I'm working, partying, going to different places and getting to know the rest of the world. I'm a student of a profession that entertains people. I have no false assumptions about myself!"

I'm not an HR fan but his presence in II3 will make the show and forum more interesting. 🥳

HR is classically trained. If he goes away from the nasal 'oooooooooo' singing, he'd sound a lot better. Also the quality vs quantity factor, he was singing too many songs few months ago. His song was Banaras was really nice. 😛 As for being a biased judge, they'll all biased at one time or another so nothing can be done about that... I'll miss Sonu Nigam as a judge. 😭 He was the best but during II2, I think a lot of us (regardless of who our favorite was) complained about his comments and bias behavior, one time or another. But his comments meant the most...Anu and Farah's comments- less said the better 🤢
