Singer Sonu Nigam is happy to be back on the singing reality show "Indian Idol" for its seventh season as a judge. He says it is a homecoming moment for him.

Nigam, best known for songs like "Kal ho naa ho", "Abhi mujh mein kahin" and "Zoobi doobi", had also shared his excitement at being a part of the Sony Entertainment Television show on Twitter.

He had tweeted: "For the family... Here's #maukekidastak. Congrats. We are back with 'Indian Idol'."

Details about his co-judges, hosts and the show's premiere are yet to be revealed.
