Vishal Dadlani, who is known for songs like `Salaam Namaste`, `Om Shanti Om`, `Tashan`, and others, schooled an `Indian Idol 15` contestant for trying to mimic singers like Arijit Singh and Atif Aslam. Vishal, who is currently judging the reality show, stopped Lakshya`s performance midway and asked the contestant to sing in his own voice. Vishal told him, "Yahaan aap nakal kar ke aage nahi badoge" (You can`t move ahead by imitating here).
