Joining in the celebrations of the Grand Finale was Mubarakan cast Anil Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor and Athiya Shetty, along with action master Rohit Shetty and Khatron Ke Khiladi contenders Rithvik Dhanjani, Hina Khan, Ravi Dubey and Nia Sharma.

Goa's salsa wonders Amit and Sakshi won their first Jeet Ki Seat when they impressed a LIVE audience with their sultry moves and impeccable synchronization at Mumbai's Growel Mall. With the ultimate goal to put Goa on the global talent map while familiarising the country with the dance form, it is their true-grit and determination that has led to them being crowned India’s first ‘Ultimate Talentbaaz’, the winners of India Banega Manch.

Talking about their win, Amit and Sakshi said, “India Banega Manch has been a truly overwhelming experience for both of us; we cannot thank COLORS and BBC Entertainment enough for creating this platform for people like us who are looking for an opportunity to prove their mettle. We are indebted to the viewers, whose constant support has motivated to push our limits to become a better performers and reign over as the ‘Ultimate Talentbaaz’.”
