The episode featured many soulful performances, but "Idol ki Star Kalakar" aka Sneha Shankar's rendition of "Mahi Ve" was particularly a hit and left everyone in awe. Before the performance, Aditya revealed that Sneha has written a letter for Badshah to thank him for the platinum mic that he gave her during the auditions and also shared a few of her demands since she considers Badshah an elder brother.
Following Sneha Shankar's mesmerizing rendition, a visibly impressed Shreya Ghoshal commented, “There simply had to be a 'Mahi Ve' performance by Sneha Shankar this season. When you hit the second stanza, I was utterly touched. This song was made for you. This composition and style of singing, you were doing everything that was expected from you, but you did some things which were completely unexpected.”
Moreover, in the episode, Shreya Ghoshal picked a chit from the bowl and challenged Sneha Shankar and Chaitanya Devadhe to sing a song together as a pair and they performed "Dama Dam Mast Qalandar."
Listening to the duet performance, Badshah exclaimed, “In dono ki milakar bhi umar mere se kam hai…yeh badtameezi chal rahi hai.”
