Bannet Dosanjh becomes the winner of Rising Star.
After months of entertaining viewers through its revolutionary format and path-breaking LIVE audience engagement, COLORS’ singing reality show Rising Star ended on a high note as Bannet Dosanjh was crowned the winner. As winner, Bannet has won a cash prize of Rs.20 lakhs, a Camera phone and a contract with Mahesh Bhatt’s Vishesh Films to debut as a playback singer in their next film.
Delhi’s Maithili Thakur and Bengaluru’s Ankita Kundu were deduced as the first and second runner-ups respectively by the audiences. While the experts Shankar Mahadevan, Monali Thakur and Diljit Dosanjh listened closely to ensure their votes supported the rightful winner, evergreen superstar Anil Kapoor joined in for the festivities, launching the DVD for 24: Season 2, bringing his unique brand of entertainment to the Rising Star stage.
When he first stepped onto the Rising Star stage, it was evident that Bannet Dosanjh was expert Diljit Dosanjh’s biggest fan. But moving onward, he proved that along with his last name, he also shared the Punjabi sensation’s passion for music. He proved his versatility by reinventing himself in every episode, earning the love and adulation of not only his idol, but also experts Shankar Mahadevan and Monali Thakur. Always a frontrunner in impressing viewers, Bannet, a young simpleton from Jalandhar’s Dosanjh Kalan, has proved that mere geography cannot stop true talent from creating history.
Talking about his win, Bannet Dosanjh said, “Rising Star has taken my passion for singing to another level; it has given me the platform to share it with the world! I am indebted to the viewers whose constant support and votes have encouraged me to be a better performer, and to the experts whose words of wisdom have guided me throughout this journey. I cannot thank COLORS and Optimystix enough for creating this platform for budding singers like me.”
