Final Gala with Bipasha & John - preview

Bipasha and John buck up the Top 2

The grand finale of Indian Idol is just a step away. And two contestants who met during the piano round in Mumbai and became friends almost instantly (and have remained roommates and best buddies throughout the contest) are ironically pitted against each other in the finals. To their credit, Amit Paul and Prashant Tamang are fighting to the finish to deliver their best yet with not a dent in their friendship—something that speaks volumes about the people they are.

The last gala round before the finals had two very special guests—John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. The two decided to be on opposite teams to play a different ball game. Their Goal was to support the two competitors. Bipasha chose to support Amit (her mother, too, was there to support him), while John threw his weight behind Prashant.

In the first round, each contestant sang a song of his choice. In the second, they sang a song given by the other as challenge. Prashant sang Amit's choice Badi mushkil hai with such gay abandon that he had Anu Maliik's vote for the Indian Idol title! Prashant's challenge for Amit was to sing Bulla ki jaana main kaun. Amit got a standing ovation from all the four judges for it! Bipasha hoped that some day soon Amit would do playback singing for John so that she would have the pleasure of hearing a romantic song in Amit's voice sung for her! Did someone say the two had broken up?

In the final segment, both contestants sang Tanhaiyee from Dil Chahta Hai and the judges found it hard to decide who was better. It is going to be even harder for the viewers. Go ahead and select your best man!
