Recently, the duo met Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan and his parents – Rakesh Roshan and Pinkie Roshan– at their residence in Mumbai.

Sharing about their meeting, Pawandeep Rajan told TOI, “Both Rakesh ji and Pinkie ji got really emotional and hugged both of us. We did sing quite a few songs and they really enjoyed our company.” Hrithik Roshan’s mother gifted them a gold chain with rudraksha and Goddess Laxmi’s coins.

I was so nervous during the audition, I thought I would not even get selected. But the journey was nice. I learnt a lot from the judges, the team. “Indian Idol” acted as a bridge to my dreams. I hope the fans continue to shower me with love,” Rajan said in a statement.
