 Veteran actor Jeetendra was stunned by the performance of 'Indian Idol 13' contestant Rishi Singh on the emotional track 'Shayad' originally sung by Arijit Singh from the 2020 movie 'Love Aaj Kal' starring Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan.

You have a great musician with you and you both are so talented. Rishi you are a good-looking guy and I am sure a girl would be falling in love with you not only for your singing but your looks too."

The performance became more entertaining as Indian Idol 12 Winner Pawandeep Rajan joined Rishi on the piano.
