It
is

on
Indian

The
contestants
are
now
gearing
up
for
the
final
lap.
They
are
working
hard
on
their
songs
and
the
result
is
showing.
To
commend
their
efforts
and
to
encourage
them
to
do
their
best
was
present
actor–producer
Anil
Kapoor
who
made
a
grand
surprise
entry.
His
film
as
producer
Gandhi
My
Father
is
perfectly
timed
to
the
Independence
Day
celebrations
just
around
the
corner.
Anil
was
in
great
spirits.
After
all
it
is
not
every
day
that
a
film
gets
such
heart-warming
response
from
the
media
and
box-office
too!
The
surprise
guest
on
the
show
inspired
the
contestants
too.
With
Independence
Day
round
the
corner,
the
contestants
are
all
set
to
rock
the
nation
with
their
patriotic
songs.
Deepali
gave
a
great
start
to
the
gala
round
with
the
song
Dhol
bajne
laga.
Anu
Malik
praised
her
and
said,
“She
is
worthy
contender
to
the
title".
Anil
Kapoor
confessed
he
got
goose
flesh
with
Amit
Paul's
rendition
of
Yeh
jo
des
hai
mera
from
Swades.
Chang,
who
has
been
nicknamed
Chingu
Mingu
by
Alisha,
won
her
heart
with
Baar
baar
haan
…
from
Lagaan.
Incidentally,
Chang
had
an
opportunity
to
visit
an
NGO
and
teach
the
little
inmates
the
importance
of
dental
care
how
to
brush
their
teeth
right!
Emon
once
again
rocked
the
show
with
his
flawless
performance.
He
sang
Yehi
rasta
hai
tera
from
Lakshya.
Anu
Malik
commented
on
his
performance
that
it
as
a
hallmark
of
a
great
singer.
Anil
Kapoor
gave
full
marks
to
Ankita
for
her
rendition
of
the
title
track
of
Phir
bhi
dil
hai
Hindustani.
But
the
surprise
package
of
the
evening
was
Prashant
whose
Zindagi
maut
na
ban
jaaye
came
straight
from
the
heart
and
had
Anu
Malik
doffing
his
hat
to
the
best
performer
of
the
day.
Anil
Kapoor
added
more
colour
to
the
show.
He
showed
his
singing
prowess
as
he
crooned
the
hit
song
of
Karma,
Dil
diya
hai
jaan
bhi
denge.
Surprises
never
ceased
on
this
show.
Ajay
Jadeja
descended
on
stage
in
the
midst
of
the
performances.
He
came,
saw,
danced
and
left
after
some
sound
piece
of
advice
to
all
the
contestants.
