Take a look at the promo of the Indian Idol 14's upcoming episode:
In the promo, Rajat Sharma says, "People who love this show have a lot of 'allegations' in their minds. My research shows that these allegations are not one or two, two or four, but it's a whole box. Aaj ka show hai 'Indian Idol vs Rajat Sharma'".
The promo further shows Rajat Sharma enjoying the performance of one of the contestants Subhadeep Das from Kolkata who sang 'Naina Milaike'.
After watching his performance, Rajat Sharma gives him a standing ovation but also says "Ilzam toh banta hai".
Subhadeep Das is then seen in the witness box facing questions from Rajat Sharma in 'Aap Ki Adalat' style.
Rajat Sharma praises Subhadeep Das's singing saying he really sings well but is also a "chalu-master".
He asks Subhadeep Das that Kolkata is a big city, and to get maximum votes from there, he tries to lure the people, kya chakkar hai? (what's the matter). The promo ends here.

These are Ananya Pal from Kolkata, Anjana Padmanabhan from Mumbai, Adya Mishra from Faridabad, Dipan Mitra from Kolkata, Obom Tangu from Arunachal Pradesh, Piyush Panwar from Rajasthan, Subhadeep Das from Kolkata, and Vaibhav Gupta from Kanpur.
