The ninth season of India’s most popular singing reality show, Indian Idol, saw LV Revanth take home the big prize. The grand finale episode was full of surprises with Sachin Tendulkar and comedian Sunil Grover.
It was indeed tough for judges Sonu Nigam, Farah Khan and Anu Malik to pick the winner from the final trio – LV Revanth, Khuda Baksh and PVNS Rohit. Revanth, the winner, was also awarded prize money of Rs 25 lakh, a Mahindra KUV100 and a singing contract with Sony Music along with the coveted title.
Sachin was welcomed with loud cheering, as always, which Sunil Grover tried to woo Farah Khan with his Darr performance. The finale also featured Sabse Bada Kalakaar judges – Raveena Tandon, Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani.
While Khuda Baksh hails from Punjab, both LV Revanth and PVNS Rohit belong to Andhra Pradesh. Their versatile performances made the Indian Idol Grand Finale so epic, that we didn’t even miss The Kapil Sharma Show, that wasn’t aired tonight to make room for the extended finale.
