Shibani Dandekar to Anshika on Indian Idol: “If Rock On Ever Happens, You’ll Be the Band Leader!”

Indian Idol weekend episode turned into a grand celebration of talent, nostalgia, and inspiration as the show celebrates 25 glorious years of Farhan Akhtar — the multi-talented artist who has left his mark as an actor, singer, writer, and filmmaker.

Joining the celebrations was Shibani Akhtar, who graced the Indian Idol stage in honour of her husband, Farhan. As the performances rolled on, one contestant in particular caught her attention — Anshika, the powerhouse singer from Dombivli, who has already earned admiration from several celebrities this season for her raw talent and fiery stage presence.

Moved by Anshika’s electrifying performances, Shibani couldn’t help but cheer for her and said with a bright smile, “If Rock On ever happens again, you’ll be the band leader!”

Shibani’s words felt extra special — and just a little bit intriguing. Did Shibani just drop a hint about a new Rock On in the making?Whether it was just a spontaneous compliment or a playful tease, her remark certainly struck the right chord with Anshika and the viewers.

Watch the new season of Indian Idol, every Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 PM on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
