Desperate attempt by #IndianIdol2021 #IndianIdol to rebuild image of #ShanmukhaPriya aka Song Killer they even used #JavedAkhtar for it. In the process they made it even more evident that the criticism she is facing is true. Atleast now throw her out or make her the winner.

#ShanmukhaPriya butchered another hit song ‘ye mera dil’, it was a disaster. The orchestra music was intentionally made loud so that her mistakes can be concealed.. #shame #IndianIdol2020
