Singer Neha Kakkar donated Rs 5 lakh to veteran Bollywood lyricist Santosh Anand during an episode of singing reality show Indian Idol 12, after the lyricist spoke of how he is battling a tough financial situation and has incurred debts.
Neha is a judge on the show, and Anand appeared as a guest with musician Pyarelal of the legendary composer duo of Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
The duo had worked with Anand in classics as Prem Rog, Roti Kapada Aur Makaan and Shor in the past.
On the episode, Neha sang Anand’s immortal creation Ek pyaar ka naghma hai, which he had penned for the 1972 Manoj Kumar film Shor.
