The singing reality show ‘Indian Idol’ commenced its 15th season last month with the audition rounds. As the top 15 contestants were chosen from across the country, an old video from Indian Idol Junior has resurfaced which shows judges Vishal Dadlani, Shreya Ghoshal, and Shekhar Ravjiani getting irked by a child singing the songs ‘Aa Re Pritam Pyaare’ and ‘Chikni Chameli’.

When ‘Indian Idol’ judges were irked by a child singing item numbers 

A video from Indian Idol Junior has surfaced on Reddit which shows a young girl singing item songs like ‘Aa Re Pritam Pyaare’ and ‘Chikni Chameli’ for her audition round. As the judges ask her to get her mother waiting outside, Vishal Dadlani says, “This is a serious problem.” He then tells the girl’s mother to be sensitive while choosing songs for her daughter to sing. He said it doesn’t look nice to see a parent make their child sing such songs at a tender age. 

Netizens react to a child singing item numbers on Indian Idol Junior

As the video was shared on Reddit, one user wrote, “This child is Anutrihi Siddhant. I remember watching this with my parents and we all were embarrassed. My dadi felt so bad for child. Her mom even went on to say that she really doesn`t care whether the child is selected or not. She just wanted her child to come on popular channel or show and get publicity so that she gets more such gigs. Proper stage mom. This was years ago, but I won`t be surprised if this child is still being forced in such stuff by her mom. Sometimes mothers use their children to fulfill their own ambitions.”

“Honestly we need better protection and regulations for child actors. Putting them on stage like that to cater to weirdos on internet is disgusting,” added another. 

Another user commented, “I remember this episode. The mom explained that the stage shows the kid performs at request such type of “peppy” songs, and thats the reason the kid knows these and sings these. Not saying its justified, and I do agree with the judges. Am just providing some context.”

‘Indian Idol 15’ airs on Sony Entertainment Television.

Daniel Craig`s journey as James Bond ended three years ago with the film `No Time to Die` directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga. After playing the esteemed role on screen for years, Craig got the perfect ending. Now, all eyes are on the future of the characters. There have been speculations and rumours surrounding who will take the baton forward to play 007 in the future installments of the popular character. Eon Productions which produces the Bond films has not confirmed the face of the eighth person to play Bond but sure has a list of requirements in mind for the actor who will play the role.

Talking to The Independent, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson spoke about the future of James Bond and who will play the role,. Barbara said that it is a big decision indeed. Talking about what they are looking for in the next Bond, she shared, “It will be a man. He`ll likely be in his 30s. Whiteness is not a given. And whoever says yes is doing so with the expectation of at least a decade`s worth of films.”

For months, rumors have persisted that Aaron Taylor-Johnson (“Bullet Train,” “Kick-Ass”) is the front-runner for the role. He`s a man in his mid-30s, and he`s not afraid to sign onto a franchise. He seems to check all of the boxes. Idris Elba and Tom Hardy who were also heard to be fan favourites to play the role do not check the boxes.

Actors who have played James Bond

The first Bond film came out in 1962 titled Mr No. The role was essayed by Sean Connery. In 1965, David Niven was signed to play Bond in Casino Royale after Connery and Peter Seller refused to play the role. With the departure of Connery after You Only Live Twice (1967), Broccoli and director Peter R. Hunt chose little-known Australian actor George Lazenby (born 1939), to be the third major actor (following Sean Connery and David Niven) to play the role of Bond. He played the role in 1969 film `On Her Majesty`s Secret Service. Roger Moore played the role from 19772 to 1985 and did 7 films.

Timothy Dalton played the role from 1986 to 1994 and did 2 films in this duration. Pierce Brosnan played Bond in 4 films in a decade. Daniel Craig was the seventh Bond and did five films.

This Diwali witnessed one of the biggest box office clashes of 2024, as `Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3` and `Singham Again` went head-to-head. Now, nearly three weeks later, box office numbers suggest that Kartik Aaryan’s horror-comedy is riding higher than Ajay Devgn’s `Singham Again`. But was clashing his cop drama with the horror-comedy Rohit Shetty’s big mistake? Well, we’re not saying that—it’s Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan who believes `Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3` has the edge over the cop drama.

“I am very happy that people are liking this film. The film is running for quite long now. A good revenue is being generated for the theatres. People are going to watch this film. We tried to avoid the clash (with `Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3`), but the only issue was that we had the theme of Diwali. Otherwise, we could have released the film anytime.
