Indian-born Iranian singer Anushaw Aksari recently appeared on Indian Idol 15 as a potential contestant. The young woman auditioned in front of the judges – Vishal Dadlani, Badshah and Shreya Ghoshal. However, she was refused. Later on her Instagram, the girl made a long post about her short journey to the reality show and how it made her learn a lot.

Her heartfelt post did not go unnoticed, and while many viewers commented to motivate her, rapper Badshah also left her a message. Anushaw wrote about learning from her failure on Indian Idol 15, and finally being able to face her demons, when Badshah complimented her on her singing. He wrote, “It wasn’t a disaster, it was a lesson learned. all good (sic).”

Anushaw shared a clip from her audition, along with the comments the judges shared about her performance. Part of her post on Instagram read: “Luckily for me this whole experience was nothing but positive and yes even though it hurt a lot it didn’t hurt for long because the joy of having done something like this for myself was just over the top everything else I faced all the fears that held me back in life, criticism, stage fright, vulnerability, failure, etc. Now I feel so much easier to have dumped all this a long time ago (sic).”

She received love and virtual hugs from fans of the show. Many even asked her to train well and come back more prepared next season. Indian supermodel Diandra Soares, who also participated in Bigg Boss, wrote: “Upward and forward… there is a little thing called DIVINE TIMIMG and you will get everything you deserve and much much more. When a door closes look out for the windows you beautiful talented girl i love you so much and you make us all so proud (sic).”

Another Instagram user wrote to cheer her up: “Girl it takes guts to do that style so congrats (sic),” while one user took to her singing and said: “No hate. But you should hear the song properly. This is actually a SAD song, while your version sounds more like a tralalala song. You somehow failed to portray the actual feeling behind the song.
