Hunarbaaz: Desh Ki Shaan finale LIVE News Updates: Akash Singh on Sunday beat Yo Highness, Sukhdeb, Harmony of the Pines Orchestra, Rocknama Sufi Rock Band, Sanchita and Subratam and Anirban to take home the trophy of Hunarbaaz and cash prize of Rs 15 lakh. The runner-up Yo Highness got Rs 5 lakh as cash prize.

The reality show marked the television debut of Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra. Ace filmmaker Karan Johar and yesteryear superstar Mithun Chakraborty joined Parineeti on the judges panel. Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa hosted the show. After Bharti took a maternity leave, Surbhi Chandna stepped in as the co-host. However, the comedienne surprised the team when she came back to host the finale less than two weeks after delivering her baby boy.

While speaking to paparazzi on the set of the reality show, Bharti shared how she cried a lot as she had to leave her newborn baby home. “Bohot royi main, Baby abhi sirf barah din ka hai. Par kaam toh kaam hota hai (I cried a lot since my baby is very young, but work comes first),” she added.

The grand finale also saw the team of Dance Deewane Juniors gracing the stage. Neetu Kapoor, Marzi Pestonji and Nora Fatehi introduced their little champions on the Hunarbaaz stage. Given the shoot happened a day after Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s wedding, Neetu Kapoor and Karan Johar even put up a grand act together in honour of the newlyweds.

In a chat with indianexpress.com, Parineeti Chopra addressed the backlash reality shows receive for promoting sob stories of contestants. Over the last few years, the ‘rona dhona’ has taken over performances on the stage. However, the actor believes that there’s no harm if the talent is not compromised. “I think people who are not associated with reality shows speak like that. I am giving first-hand information from my experience. We are never given a script nor told what to say. We have never met these contestants and react to their performances as it happens. I think if there is an emotional story, why wouldn’t we share it? The talent is not fake and they get just one take to perform. The reality is very real on the show,” she said.
