The duo will join singer Alka Yagnik as mentors after singers Udit Narayan and Kumar Sanu, who were a part of the show before the lockdown, chose to opt out due to prior commitments.

"I am a very emotional towards kids, so while taking care of their feelings; we will take the show ahead. In fact, Alka, Himesh and I already have a great rapport and connection, so we will surely have a great time," Ali said in a statement.
