Udit says - ur voice has base...
But utilmately, he is rejected - anu says aapka sab kuch reverse mein chal raha hai😕
********
That was all for today😛
Star of the show: None It was a very average audition - none were really extraordinary...
Rating: 5/10... The show seems stagnant... Nothing happening... Contestants were average - the usual kind... Nothing exciting happening on the show either... So just seems a passing episode until the time we reach some exciting scenarios...
