Singer
Vishal
Dadlani
said
he
is
leaving
the
reality
show
Indian
Idol
after
being
a
judge
on
it
for
six
years.
Dadlani
shared
a
video
on
his
Instagram
handle
featuring
him
alongside
fellow
judges
Shreya
Ghoshal
and
Badshah.
‘That’s
all
from
me,
folks!
Six
straight
seasons
later,
tonight
is
my
last
episode
as
a
judge
on
Indian
Idol.
I
hope
the
show
will
miss
me
as
much
as
I’ll
miss
it.
Thanks
Shreya,
Badshah,
Adi,
Aradhana,
Chitra,
Anandji,
Sonal,
Pratibha,
Sahil,
Saloni,
Muskaan,
Abisha,
the
entire
production
crew,
Vilas,
Pakya,
Kaushik
(Pinky),
and
all
the
co-judges,
singers
and
musicians
down
the
years!
‘It
really
has
been
home!!
That
stage
is
pure
love,’
the
51-year-old
singer
noted
in
the
video.
‘Time
to
get
back
to
making
music,
playing
concerts
and
never
putting
on
make-up.
Jai
Ho,’
he
added.
