MUMBAI: This episode of Roobaroo is a must see. Unforeseen things happened on this episode. The ever punctual Mini was late.The contestants got together and accused Parleen of upstaging them with his performances. A person completely unconnected with Indian Idol who happened to be in the vicinity stepped in to host the show and bring some order to the chaos and ended up playing judge to the case in question! The young man happens to be Riteish Deshmukh.

Parleen was in the docks. He was accused of concentrating on his performances instead of his singing. He was accused of using his nose to khatarnak advantage. He was also accused of having "the upper hand" while singing! If all this seems a bit far-fetched to you, it seemed so to Riteish Deshmukh too who decided to hear both sides of the case and play a fair and handsome judge! Parleen‘s case was in good hands? he had Ankita and Abhishek on his side as defense lawyers while Deepali and Puja got on his case. What ensued was a free for all debate on performances and singing and dancing . At the end of it all Riteish endorsed Parleen‘s viewpoint and in the strangest scene ever witnessed in a court of law the judge and the accused broke into song and dance! Not to be left behind the others joined in too, even those who had vociferously protested against it. So there was Emon, Amit and Prashant and Chang all shaking a leg with Riteish who in true gentlemanly fashion took turns to dance with all the girls on the show. As per her track-record Ankita did not miss the opportunity to make him dance to her tune.

Riteish is looking forward to the release of Cash which boasts of a song picturised in one take! He also revealed he sports a strange hairstyle in the film but not as strange as Mini‘s of course!

It was a special day for some young people from Prerna, an NGO that works for underprivileged children. They not only got to meet Riteish but also hear him sing. The contestants too obliged the young guests by sing songs on request.

Do not miss the fun, laughter, song and dance session with Ritesh Deshmukh on Roobaroo tonight on Indian Idol at 9 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television.
