Singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya has replaced composer Anu Malik as a judge on Indian Idol 11 after the latter withdrew his name from the show in the face of MeToo allegations against him.

A few days ago, Malik had stepped down as judge from the ongoing season 11 of the music reality TV show after growing outcry against him over allegations of sexual harassment, leveled by singer Sona Mohapatra. Singers Neha Bhasin and Shweta Pandit, too, had accused him of sexual misconduct in the past. Now, Himesh has been roped in as one of the judges for the current season.
