Legendary
singer
Asha
Bhosle
will
be
one
of
the
judges
on
the
popular
singing
reality
show
Indian
Idol
which
begins
in
July.
There
had
been
a
lot
of
speculation
over
who
would
join
existing
judges
of
the
sixth
season
of
the
show,
Anu
Malik,
Salim
Merchant
and
Sunidhi
Chauhan.
Now
it
has
been
confirmed
that
the
78-year-old
playback
singer
would
be
the
fourth
judge
for
the
new
edition.
Speaking
to
reporters,
Asha
Bhosle
said,
“I
am
very
happy
to
be
part
of
this
show.
I
really
like
this
show
as
it
provides
platform
for
budding
singers.
It
is
a
very
big
show.”
Reportedly,
music
maestro
AR
Rahman
was
approached
for
the
show
but
due
to
unavoidable
reasons
he
could
not
be
part
of
the
programme,
which
will
be
aired
on
Sony
TV.
Bhosle
has
graced
various
TV
reality
shows
as
a
celebrity
judge.
For
'Indian
Idol
6'
she
will
be
"super
judge".
The
veteran
singer
will
not
be
part
of
the
audition
rounds
and
will
join
the
three
judges
from
the
gala
rounds.
Seasons
three
and
four
of
Indian
Idol
also
had
four
judges.
The
show
is
scheduled
to
begin
from
June
1
and
will
be
aired
on
every
Friday
and
Saturday.
