Music composer and singer Anu Malik got cornered in controversies when #MeToo allegations were raised against him. He was a judge on Indian Idol for many years but had to leave as the allegations were serious. And the allegations were made by some female Bollywood singers which took over the social media like a storm.
Malik had to take a decision and he decided that he won’t be a a part of the show for season 11 and decided not to return for season 12 too.
But now it will be homecoming for him as he will be coming on as a guest along with Udit Narayan and Sameer. Talking about it with ETimes TV, he said, “I have been a part of the show for so many years, so it felt like homecoming when I was invited for the 90s special episode. I feel the talent this season is the best of all seasons and they sang all my popular songs. I had a great time being a part of the show I used to judge.” When asked if he misses judging the show and hopes to return someday, he said, “I don’t think of the future. The makers gave me an opportunity to judge the show for many seasons, but as of now I am happy being a guest.”
While the allegations put on him are yet to find a conclusion, Malik is still and won’t soon be a part of the reality show regularly.
