The band garnered high praise for its second performance in the show. As such, not only the audience but also the judges eagerly awaited their next performance.

‘2ofus’ delivered a performance that met expectations, capturing the hearts of the audience and the judges with their rendition of the classic Hindi song ‘Badan Pe Sitare Lapete Huye’.

In this regard, Abhijeet said ‘2ofus’ has once again delivered a perfect performance, adding it is difficult to believe a performance of such high caliber and independence has been showcased on a local platform.

Abhijeet, noting that ‘2ofus’ are guests in the country, said their performances would be appreciated regardless of how they are presented. He also expressed his affection for all the members of the band.

The top Indian singer also gifted a gold necklace to Ahmed Adhuham, the singer of the band, as a token of respect, recognizing his exceptional talent.
