Himesh Reshammiya Replaces #MeToo Accused Anu Malik On Indian Idol 11, Says 'He Is Elated'

'Mujhe tere ghar me roti chaiye... struggling nahi chaiye'! Remember the time when Himesh Reshammiya used to judge singing reality tv show? He did spice up the show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa with his dialogues. He made the show quite entertaining, right?

Now, he will be back to judge another singing reality TV show Indian Idol 11.?

Himesh Reshammiya is replacing #MeToo accused Anu Malik, who voluntarily walked out saying he would be back in three weeks once all charges against him are proven wrong. The sexual harassment allegations were levied on him by singers like Sona Mohapatra, Neha Bhasin and Shweta Pandit among others.?

Excited about joining the show, Himesh Reshammiya was quoted as saying, "I was a part of 'Superstar Singer' and now my journey continues on 'Indian Idol 11'. 'Indian Idol' is not only one of India's longest running singing reality shows but also one of the most iconic one!?

"I am extremely elated to be on the judges panel. From here on the responsibility only increases two fold. I have been following this season and I must say that this year has seen phenomenal singers come forward, who I am sure will create ripples in the Indian music industry."?

For the unversed, Anu Malik was kicked out of Indian Idol season 10 after Sona levelled accusations against him for the first time. However, Sony TV had reinstated the composer on season 11 this year, which did not go down well a lot of people including Sona, who restarted her campaign against the composer and the channel.?

The campaign, however, forced Malik to quit the show last month.??
