Indian Idol 15: Ahead of finale, Bhushan Kumar offers a contract with his renowned label to Sneha Shankar; says 'I remember all your performances'

Television’s flagship singing reality show, Indian Idol 15, is all set to culminate in a grand and unforgettable finale! This season’s journey reaches its pinnacle with The Grandest 90s Night, celebrating the golden era of Bollywood music. The spectacular night will witness stunning performances from the finalists in the presence of the esteemed panel of judges – Shreya Ghoshal, Badshah, and Vishal Dadlani.

A highlight of the finale is a career-defining moment for finalist Sneha Shankar, who receives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from one of India’s biggest music labels. In a heartfelt video message, Mr. Bhushan Kumar extends a special mention to Sneha, saying, “Special mention to Sneha Shankar; you sang with so much heart the whole season. I remember all your performances.”

Recognizing her extraordinary talent and dedication, he continues, “You sang songs of so many legends in this industry. As a reward for your passion, dedication, and hard work, I want to offer you a contract with us. Welcome to the family.” This incredible offer from India’s leading music powerhouse is a testament to Sneha’s undeniable talent and a dream come true for the rising star!

Badshah has been highly impressed by Sneha's singing prowess. Coming from the family of a renowned musician, Sneha chose to take a path that led to the creation of her own identity. Badshah not only complimented her for her hard work but also shared, "I have never heard you before, but when you sang today, and I got to know about your legacy, I would like to say you chose a really good song. You look like Ram Shankar Ji's daughter, but it also feels like you will take his legacy forward. Honestly, when Vishal sir commented on your performance, I got scared thinking something was wrong with me because I was blown away! We need a performer who sings like this."

He further added, "But as Vishal sir said, it would be good for you if you learn this now: Imagine there is a line where on one side there is safety, comfort, and greatness. The closer you get to comfort, the further you get from greatness, and the closer you go to greatness, the more you will have to move away from comfort. This is your comfort zone, and you can do really good here, but you can be great, and you have everything to become great. I know this is Indian Idol, and you come from the Shankar Legacy, but if not you, then who will do it?"
