Tsering is the second contestant from Arunachal who has made it to the Top 12 of Indian Idol 2016. According to reports, he lost both of his hands at the age of 5, in an unfortunate accident. He survived an 11000-volt electric shock, but doctors had to cut off both his hands.
Known by the nickname, The Solo Performer, Tsering sang Channa Mereya from Bollywood flick Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and many were left astounded by his performance.
But what's even more awe-inspiring is, he can play, write, cook and do many other activities comfortably.
