A great family

When it comes to supporting or motivating each other, Indian Idol contestants always stand tall. They share a strong bond and help each other in boosting one’s morale. During the off time from the sets, contestants Pawandeep and Shamukhapriya planned a surprise Iftaar for their dear friend Danish Mohd. Danish was upset as he was away from the family in this holy month.

Pawandeep says, “Danish is our brother and we are family here, and the surprise idea was of Shanmukhapriya, who asked me to help her out in organising his Iftaar. So, after wrapping up my practice, we kept his favourite food in his room and when he entered the room, he was emotional and with teary eyes.”

Danish adds, “This is the first year in my entire life when I was away from my family and was a bit depressed. But, here I have another family that understands my feelings.”
