Over the last three decades, Zee TV has been instrumental in providing the Indian youth with a global platform to showcase their singing, dancing, and acting talent. The channel’s most iconic dance reality show, Dance India Dance, revolutionized the landscape of dance in the country when it first began to air in 2009. Over the last 13 years, the platform has stood testimonial to the sheer passion and love that India holds in its heart towards dance, giving several spirited dancers a chance to showcase their talent. This year again, the channel gave young kids an opportunity to display their love for dance as it launched DID L’il Masters Season 5. Thousands of kids auditioned to be a part of the show and exhibit their talent, but only a handful made it to the Grand Premiere episode. The top 15 went on to dance their hearts out, impressing one and all in the process. And now, after a successful run of three months full of dance and entertainment, DID L’il Masters culminated with a Fantastic Finale on 26th June 2022.
To support the top 5 contestants during the Fantastic Finale, the star cast of Jug Jugg Jeeyo – Anil Kapoor, Kiara Advani, Varun Dhawan, Prajakta Kohli, and Maniesh Paul appeared on the show and we have to say that they brought the house down with their funny antics, intriguing anecdotes, and enchanting dance moves. All the celebrity guests along with the DID L’il Masters judges – Remo D’Souza, Sonali Bendre, and Mouni Roy also cheered the top 5 contestants to give their best during their finale acts. While the contestants – Sagar, Nobojit, Appun, Adhyashree, and Rishita impressed one and all with their impressive finale acts, it was the season’s most consistent performer, Nobojit, who took home the trophy. Acing every challenge and giving tough competition to Nobojit were Appun and Adhyashree, who were announced as the first and second runner-up respectively. Apart from the fantastic finalists of the show, one special contestant who won everyone’s hearts during the finale episode was Ahmed Raja. All the finalists including Ahmed Raja were given cash prizes as a special surprise from DID L’il Masters.
Winner of DID L’il Masters Season 5, Nobojit mentioned, “DID L’il Masters has truly given me everything that I dreamt for! The reality show has given several talented kids a platform to showcase their talent and I am really happy that I could also display my dancing skills and win everyone’s heart. I worked really hard to reach here and I danced my heart out every week. My skipper Vaibhav and the judges – Remo Sir, Mouni Ma’am and Sonali Ma’am really helped me learn and grow and I am extremely thankful for their support and encouragement. I must mention that I also made a lot of new friends through DID L’il Masters and while I will miss all the rehearsals, fun, and masti, I am sure that there are a lot of good things coming my way after winning this popular reality show.”
