Indian Idol 12 turned into a rockfest as Ashish Kulkarni took the stage. Accompanying him was the winner of India's Best Dancer Tiger Pop. Ashish first started off with a soothing melody from Humse Hai Muquabala-Sun ri sakhi meri pyari sakhi. And later on, shifted to singing the foot-tapping Muquabala number of A.R. Rehman.
The most interesting part started when Tiger Pop who had come on Indian Idol 12 to support Ashish started dancing to the Muquabala number which became iconic due to Prabhu Deva's superb dancing. The jugalbandi between Ashish and Tiger was indeed a paisa wasool performance which left the judges stunned.
All through the performance, the judges Vishal Dadlani, Neha Kakkar, and Himesh Reshammiya kept on clapping and hooting giving the duo a standing ovation. Even the guest on the show, Badshah was left speechless by this superb jugalbandi. The famous Indian rapper said, "This is art. Yeh art hai and I have no words."
