Menuka Poudel makes the judges of II14 emotional with her soulful voice!

Sony Entertainment Television’s singing reality show, Indian Idol, has emerged as a national platform for aspiring singers to prove their mettle. The show features unparalleled talent with voices that hold the power to evoke a gamut of emotions. The stakes are higher than ever in Season 14, as Indian Idol is synonymous to being ‘music ka sabse bada gharana,’ and esteemed judges Kumar Sanu, Shreya Ghoshal, and Vishal Dadlani take the reins to discover India’s finest singing talents. In the upcoming weekend episodes, the iconic playback and classical singer Kavita Krishnamurthy will bring her musical brilliance to the theatre round as a guest judge.

But it was contestant Menuka Poudel from Nepal who left the judges emotional with her soulful voice. Made of dreams, hopes and aspirations, Menuka is visually impaired, but she hopes to achieve great feats in life. With a supportive family by her side, the contestant shined from the very beginning during the theatre round. But before starting her performance, Meenuka, who is a self-proclaimed shopaholic, will present each judge with a beautiful shawl and she stuns the judges by singing, ‘Tumhne Dekhti Hoon’ from the film, Jaidev, leaving them teary eyed.

Complimenting her performance, Judge Vishal Dadlani says, “You have a powerful voice, and your voice epitomises music’s power. You are unaware of your strength and how it inspires us all.”

Kavita Krishnamurthy, who agrees with Vishal, says, “I pray that God is always with you, and you inspire us a lot.”

Will Menuka have impressed the judges enough to secure her place in the Top 15?

Tune in to Indian Idol Season 14 this Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 PM on Sony Entertainment Television.
