“I am Don Uncle,” said SRK sweetly as he entered amidst a lot of anticipation and anxiety to announce the results of the much fancied Sa Re Ga Ma L’il Champs on Zee TV this Saturday 28th October. Over 1.32 crore votes were polled between the three finalists but it was the talented Sanchita Bhattacharya who became the champion with 45, 23, 312 votes. Delhi’s Diwakar Sharma earned 44, 19, 616 while Mumbai’s Sameer Mohammad was third with 43, 42, 028 votes. Shahrukh rightly said that with this kind of votes, one can become the prime minister of the country.

It was an electrifying finale at the Andheri Sports Complex where 20, 000 people had converged to boost the morale of the finalists. All the three contestants won the hearts and minds of the worldwide audience with superlative performances. There were spectacular performances by the terrific trio of judges singers Abhijeet, Alka Yagnik and music composer Bappi Lahri other than hosts Shaan himself.

Another big announcement was made when filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar, actress-producer-director Pooja Bhatt and actor Anupam Kher were called on to announce a new reality show ‘Zee Cine Stars Ki Khoj’ from next week where all the Bollywood aspirants will compete to enter the big stage of Bollywood. It remains to be seen if the new show will match the giant popularity curve of L’il Champs.
