Vishal Dadlani bids farewell to reality TV show 'Indian Idol'
Singer and music composer Vishal Dadlani bid farewell to the popular reality show Indian Idol after serving as a judge for six consecutive seasons. Taking to his Instagram account, the singer announced his exit from the show and explained that he won't be returning for the next season because he doesn't want to "stay stuck in Mumbai for six months every year." In a video shared with his post, he can be seen posing with fellow judges Shreya Ghoshal and Badshah. "Alvida, yaaro. 6 seasons mein jitna mazaa kiya, usse bhi zyada yaad aayegi. @shreyaghoshal @badboyshah @adityanarayanofficial #IndianIdol @fremantleindia @sonytvofficial @aradhanabhola @chitralangeh," his post read. "I'm literally only leaving because I want my time back. Can't stay stuck in Mumbai for 6 months each year!" he added. Thanking his co-judges, the show's team, and viewers for their support and love, Dadlani added, "Thanks to Shreya, Badshah, Adi, Aradhana, Chitra, Anand ji, Ananya, Sonal, Pratibha, Sahil, Saloni, Muskaan, Abisha, the entire production crew, Vilas, Pakya, Kaushik (Pinky), and all the singers and musicians over the years! Also, the mix, sound, and tech crew (Mahesh ji, Rakesh, and all), the lighting guys, the stagehands, the cleaning crew, Sajidbhai, and Satishbhai (our still photographers), and everyone. Only LOVE to each and all of you, with an added apology to anyone I've left out here." "Time to get back to making music, playing concerts, and never putting on make-up! It's #VishalAndSheykhar season!! Jai ho!" his post concluded. Dadlani first appeared as a judge on Indian Idol in 2013, took a short break in 2016, and returned for six straight seasons starting in 2018. Meanwhile, the recently wrapped-up Season 6 of Indian Idol saw 24-year-old Manasi Ghosh from Kolkata winning the title. She took home the trophy, Rs25 lakh (Dh106,731), and a brand-new car.

Indian rapper Badshah faces backlash over alleged traffic violation, singer denies incident
Bollywood rapper Badshah seems to have courted trouble once again, this time for an alleged traffic rule violation in Gurugram, a city in the northern Indian state of Haryana, near New Delhi. Reports indicate that the artist was fined Rs15,500 (approximately 670 AED) for purportedly driving on the wrong side of the road on December 15 while traveling to a concert headlined by Punjabi singer Karan Aujla, where he was set to perform. Gurugram Police revealed that the incident involved a convoy of three vehicles, including a Mahindra Thar registered under the name Dipender Hooda of Panipat. According to Virender Vij, Gurugram's Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Hooda was driving the Thar, which was fined ₹15,500 under various sections of the Motor Vehicles Act for dangerous and wrong-side driving. Vij further clarified that while Badshah was part of the convoy, it remains unclear whether he was behind the wheel. (Hindustan Times) Reacting to the allegations, Badshah's team issued a strong denial. 'We are issuing this statement to address recent defamatory reports and false accusations regarding a traffic incident involving Badshah following the Karan Aujla concert on December 15th, 2024, in the Delhi NCR region. These reports allege that Badshah was involved in a traffic violation, specifically driving on the wrong side of the road. We want to unequivocally state that this allegation is completely false,' the statement read. (NDTV) Sandeep Kumar, Gurugram Police Public Relations Officer, shared additional details, noting that the investigation was based on the number plate of one of the vehicles involved. 'The other two vehicles in the convoy carried temporary registrations, and further investigations are ongoing,' Kumar said. (India Today) The incident has sparked significant public debate, with many calling for stricter enforcement of traffic laws to ensure accountability, regardless of celebrity status.
