Indian Idol 15's grand premiere episode was full of talent, music, and heartwarming moments. The episode featured some amazing performances by the contestants, but among the 2-hour-long show, a few heartwarming moments stood out. Here are some highlights from the episode judged by Vishal Dadlani, Shreya Ghoshal, and Badshah.
The first moment that melted our hearts and delighted our ears was Shreya Ghoshal's performance of the song 'Ami Je Tomar 3.0' from 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3'. It was the first time she sang the song live in front of an audience. Her voice left everyone enchanted, and Badshah, behaving like a true fanboy, was seen recording the mesmerizing performance on his phone.
