Farida Jalal is a national treasure. Her comic timing is impeccable. It's wonderful to see veteran actors getting their due on such popular platforms. More power to her!
While I love the nostalgia, I feel Indian Idol often relies too much on these gimmicks rather than focusing purely on the singing talent. The show's format is getting repetitive. That said, will definitely watch for Shreya and Farida ji!
As someone who grew up watching Bollywood movies abroad, K3G was a huge part of my childhood. This scene specifically! So heartwarming to see it recreated. It connects us to home.
"Oh, hello, sugar... yes, with a drop of lemon." Just reading that line brought a smile to my face. Iconic! Farida Jalal's performance in Heeramandi was also brilliant. What a versatile actor.
Shreya Ghoshal is a fantastic singer, but seeing her act out this scene is a fun surprise. Hope she does justice to Kajol's energy. The promo looks cute, will tune in for sure!
