In the latest episode of Indian Idol 12, contestant Anjali Gaikwad who is known for giving pacifying performances was eliminated because of lesser votes than others which came as a shock to her fans and her fellow contestants. Since the episode aired, fans have been demanding to bring her back as she deserves to be one of the top contenders on the show.
A fan wrote, "#IndianIdol2021. These are difficult times.. scared with every call on the phone, every post on social media.. what they might bring.. nobody knows. A couple of hours of music takes us back to a nostalgic era. None of the kids deserves elimination least so #AnjaliGaikWad. Bring her back”

It is not just Anjali’s elimination but some fans are also peeved with Shanmukhpriya and Danish’s performance. Some say that Shanmukhpriya destroyed a classic song once more. A song like ‘chur aliya’ is better sung as it is and needs no improvisation.
A user tweeted, "This is really favouritism to eliminate #AnjaliGaikWad instead of #ShanmukhaPriya. Is this fixed??" another wrote, "Every song shouldn’t be played with and some evergreen classics need no unnecessary change. #ShanMukhPriya you are talented but please stop. #IndianIdol2021 please stop promoting sob stories and hyping one track talent. Sad to see #anjaligaikwad go!"
During the weekend, the celebrity guests who graced 'Indian Idol 12' were Udit Narayan and Abhijeet Bhattacharya on Saturday, while on Sunday Zeenat Aman became a part of the show.
