Ahead of the new season, judge Vishal Dadlani shared a touching childhood memory that sparked his passion for music. Reflecting on the roots of his musical journey, he said, “My whole life is full of music that I've formed memories around. The first song I remember is one my mother used to sing to me , ‘Phoolon Ka Taron Ka’  and she would replace the word ‘behna’ with my name. I always hear that in her voice. My parents’ love for music inspired me and subtly led me to pursue it.”
