Pawandeep Rajan has lifted the trophy of Indian Idol, season 12. Pawandeep was announced as the winner on Sunday’s grand finale episode, who won the winner’s trophy and also the prize money of ₹25 lakh.
On the show, Pawandeep was known for delivering some impressive performances and also his romantic angle with co-contestant Arunita Kanjilal.
Arunita Kanjilal and Sayli Kamble were declared as the first and second runners-up respectively and won Rs. 5 lakhs each.
In an interview earlier with a leading daily, he said, “Indian Idol is a platform that gives a lot of respect to artists, and the kind of exposure it gets you is unmatched. Through the course of the show, we got to sing so many songs and had the best judges and guests to guide us. The reason I got back in the arena was not my will to win but my quest to learn. And I am thankful that after spending so many months on this show, we are now ready to playback.”
Later he added, that he was upset about leaving the show. “After so many months, as we are set to wrap up, I feel pained. The show became our new home and it feels as if we came yesterday only. I wish we could have stayed longer,” he added.
The finale episode saw Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara Advani, The Great Khali, and others arrive as guests. The judges Himesh Reshammiya, Anu Malik, and Sonu Kakkar also performed during the Indian Idol 12 finale.
The episode was hosted by host Aditya Narayana and also by Bharti Singh with husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa.
