A long-pending collaboration with her friend Jassi Gill has finally resulted in the track, Nikle Currant. The Punjabi offering that showcases a banter between the singers has found favour among social media users since it released on Friday, and Kakkar admits that Gill always told her, "Our collaboration will result in a good track". "Jassi calls me his favourite female singer and he always wanted to work with me. It's a peppy number that also sees us dancing. I've always loved to do so, despite the fact that, like singing, I never learnt to dance professionally," Kakkar says.

Having taken a seat as judge on a show that was among the forerunners in introducing reality music to Indian television, she soon found herself facing criticism about her limited experience. Confessing that she hasn't revealed this to Indian Idol co-judges Vishal Dadlani and Anu Malik, Kakkar says, "When we began shooting, I did feel uncomfortable owing to their experience. I felt like they were giving me the vibes; questioning, 'What is she doing here?' However, they changed after they took note of my judging abilities. Now, they agree with my opinions, and even appreciate them."
