One of the candidates was heard singing one of Damini’s most recognizable songs during the episode. Meenakshi sang the song. Meenakshi Seshadri played a righteous woman in the movie who stands up for the justice of a rape victim even if it meant defying her family, husband, and in-laws. The actress won multiple awards for the role she played in the movie. The contestant sang the movie’s theme song, which featured the actress and Rishi Kapoor as the lead actor in the original version, reminding her of those times. The actress expressed her appreciation for the performance and her nostalgia for the song, but she continued by saying that she had been treated unfairly by Damini’s stardom.
Meenakshi Seshadri commented, “Mujhe Ek shikayat hai Damini film ke writer aur director se. Damini tha mera naam but dialogues kaunse yaad reh gaye? Sunny Paaji ke. Abhi who dialogues mujhe de dete toh main nahi kar sakti thi?” (I have a complaint but with the writers and director of Damini. I was Damini in the film but whose dialogues were memorable? Sunny Deol. If they would have given me those dialogues, don’t you think I couldn’t have done it?)
An imitation of American Idol, Indian Idol 13 airs on Sony Entertainment Network.
