Through the course of the show, we got to sing so many songs and had the best judges and guests to guide us. The reason I got back in the arena was not my will to win but my quest to learn. And I am thankful that after spending so many months on this show, we are now ready to playback.”
He also said that he was upset about leaving the show after being a contestant for so many weeks and it feels like yesterday when he first stepped into the stage.
Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara Advani, The Great Khali, and others were invited as special guests for the finale. Sonu Kakkar was seen as the judge as Neha Kakkar wasn’t present while Himesh Reshammiya, Vishal Dadlani, and others joined Anu Malik in the show.
