New Delhi:
After months of entertainment and spectacular singing, Indian Idol 11 has finally come to an end. The show has found its winner in Bhatinda's Sunny Hindustani. He took home the Indian Idol’s trophy along with the prize money of Rs 25 lakh, a car and a singing contract with T-Series. Sunny competed against four contestants Ankona Mukherjee, Adriz Ghosh, Ridham Kalyan and Rohit Raut. His soul-soothing voice had mesmerised the judges on the audition day itself as he sang Afreen Afreen. His audition video had gone viral after Anand Mahindra shared it on social media.
He is also called as Nusrat Sahib's Roo (soul). In one of the episodes, actor Kunal Kemmu was so impressed by Sunny's singing that he gifted him Lord Lakshmi's locket. Not just Kunal, even Ajay Devgn and wife Kajol were impressed with Sunny's singing and had praised him.
