Music composer Vishal Dadlani credited singer Shreya Ghoshal for inspiring his return to Indian Idol 16 after a late-night conversation rekindled his enthusiasm for the program. Dadlani explained that a three-hour discussion with Ghoshal reminded him of the enjoyment he experiences working alongside her and fellow judge Badshah on the singing competition. The composer stated his dual motivation stems from reconnecting with colleagues and discovering emerging vocal talent through the audition process.

Dadlani and Ghoshal have maintained a longstanding professional partnership through multiple successful Bollywood collaborations.
