In the clip, Nana Patekar asked Myscmme, “You believe in numerology?” When she said she does, he asked her to tell him who will win the competition. In the clip, Myscmme was seen speechless. Next, he asked her how old she thought he is. At this, Myscmme was seen looking at show’s host, singer Aditya Narayan.
Next, smiling, the actor said, “Dekh teri numerology hai, woh bakwaas hai na? Tu bejhijhak gaa de (See, your numerology is all nonsense. You just sing without hesitation), that is the truth. Leave the rest.” Even Badshah looked alarmed at Nana’s directness. The video was shared with the caption, “Bebaak Nana bol uthe — agar gaane pe full focus hai, toh baaki kuch zaruri nahi (Outspoken Nana opened up – if full focus is on the singing, then nothing else is important)!”

Reacting to the post, a fan said, “Bechara tension mein aa gaya Nana ji ke sawal se (Poor thing, she got tensed after his questions).” “That was some deep thoughts,” read a comment. An Instagram user wrote, “Indian idol mein thoda zada roasting nhi ho raha hai (Isn’t there a little too much roasting on Indian Idol)?”
In this season, Aditya Narayan returned as the host. Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal Dadlani and Badshah are judges on the show. Indian Idol 15 airs on Sony Entertainment Television at 9 pm. The first season of the show aired in 2004.
