| 10 | Prajakta Shukre and Amit Sana | 180 | -2 | 178 |
The billboard adds each duo’s Episode 4 score to its previous score, then HR’s cuts are applied. Swaroopp and Ritika’s 215 was level with Devender and Mayuri for third before HR took a mark off, and the cut leaves them on 214, level with Ashish and Sayli in fourth. Ankush and Sireesha lose a mark but stay eighth. At the bottom, Abhijeet and Chetna drop two marks to 186 and Prajakta and Amit drop two to 178, which keeps Prajakta and Amit last. Abhijeet and Chetna did not perform on Episode 4, but the billboard shows the 2-mark cut against their 188 from Episode 3. For how HR’s marks work, see our judges, host and format guide. HR cut 21 marks in Episode 2 and none in Episode 3, so six marks is a lighter night.

Shilpa Shetty Joins HR on the Panel
Shilpa Shetty is not a judge on Indian Idol Legends Return. Himesh Reshammiya is the judge and the contestants score each other, but she sat alongside HR for the episode. Her visit follows IANS reports that she returned to the Indian Idol stage after 22 years, and Apple TV’s episode listing describes Episode 4 as Shilpa Shetty joining the contestants for a musical evening.
Her reaction to one performance stood out. After Anshika Chonkar and Rishi Singh sang Kaise Hua, Shilpa Shetty rated their performance “super se upar”, which roughly means above super. Their scoreboard, covered below, was the third best of the night.
