“A playlist of memories: where the voices are of today and the songs are of you”
In the new season of Sony Entertainment Television's "Yaadon Ki Playlist: Jahan Awaaz Aaj Wali Aur Gaane Aap Wali," the show celebrates the memories and tunes of the 90s. The most talked-about contestant on the show is Sankalp Yadav, who has also participated in Indian Idol Junior.

Family drama at a singing talent show
Sankalp told the show's judges, "My parents divorced after Indian Idol Junior. Now, our only connection is music, and through that, I'm constantly trying to overcome that pain." Revealing his father's words, Sankalp said, "He said, 'You are not my child.' I was completely devastated at that time."
After that, my mother always dreamed of me becoming a singer, and today she proudly stood by me. If it weren't for her, I would never have reached this far. She didn't give up after separating from my father, so I inherited her values, and I can't give up either. Now, I intend to fulfill her dream at any cost."
Shreya Ghoshal expressed sympathy
Shreya Ghoshal, a judge on the show, already knew Sankalp Yadav. As the contestant recounted his story, Shreya grew emotional.
