Mumbai, (IANS) On a stage made in the image of the outer space with

a cut-out of the moon in the background, Indian film legend Amitabh

Bachchan crowned 13-year-old Aishwarya Majmudar as the first

“Amul Star Voice of India Chhote Ustad” here late evening Saturday.

Amitabh, who came to promote his upcoming film “Bhootnath”,

walked onto the stage in a studio here and announced the winner after a

power-packed welcome performance by the eliminated contestants of

the show.

The Ahmedabad-based girl, who was fondly referred to as ‘Style Ben

Aishwarya’ for her high style quotient, triumphed over 14-year-old

Anvesha Dattagupta from Kolkata.

Playback singer Kunal Ganjawala, who was among the judging panel

of the TV show, told IANS: “Our duty was to bring the right

contestants to fight it out at the finale and I am happy we were able to

do so. It was a neck-to-neck competition and the results entirely

depended on public voting.

“I think both contestants were equally good and deserving and, believe

me, unlike most other reality shows, both these girls will be seen and

talked about for a long time to come.”

The entire show saw a series of livewire performances by the two

contenders, with fillers by the eliminated contestants, host Abhaas

Joshi, playback singers Shaan and Ganjawala, and also song-based

reality show winners Ishmeet Singh, Abhijeet Sawant, Rahul Vaidya

and Himani Kapoor.

For the fist time on television, the young girls provided live playback

to Bollywood actors Malaika Arora Khan and Isha Koppikar.
