The
highly
anticipated
grand
finale
of
Indian
Idol
12
is
all
set
to
take
place
on
August
15.
Ahead
of
the
popular
singing
reality
show’s
culmination,
finalist
Pawandeep
Rajan
opened
up
about
his
journey
and
relationship
status
with
Arunita
Kanjilal
on
the
Sony
TV
show.
In
an
interview
with
Indian
Express,
Pawandeep
Rajan
said,
“Indian
Idol
is
a
platform
that
gives
a
lot
of
respect
to
artists,
and
the
kind
of
exposure
it
gets
you
is
unmatched.
Through
the
course
of
the
show,
we
got
to
sing
so
many
songs,
and
had
the
best
judges
and
guests
to
guide
us.
And
I
am
thankful
that
after
spending
so
many
months
on
this
show,
we
are
now
ready
to
playback.”
Apart
from
his
singing
prowess,
Pawandeep’s
journey
on
the
Sony
TV
show
is
also
being
discussed
for
his
alleged
romance
with
co-contestant
Arunita
Kanjilal.
On
being
quizzed
about
their
relationship
status,
the
singer
confessed
that
Arunita
is
only
a
close
friend.
Putting
the
record
straight,
prior
to
the
finale,
Pawandeep
said,
“Honestly,
all
of
us
have
spent
so
much
time
together
that
we
are
inseparable.
I
think
it
happens
with
everyone
when
your
friendship
is
seen
as
something
more.
I
think
in
time
people
will
realise
that
there
was
nothing
between
us.
At
the
moment,
we
are
all
young
and
have
a
career
to
focus
on.
These
things
can
wait.
All
said
and
done,
I
want
our
friendship
to
last
till
we
are
old.”
The
12-hour
long
'Greatest
Grand
Finale
Ever’
of
Indian
Idol
12
will
see
the
six
finalists
take
to
the

to
give
their
last
performance.
The

which
will
air

Independence
Day,

culminate

one
among

Rajan,

Kanjilal,
