Hyderabad: ‘Telugu Indian Idol’ today crowned its first-ever winner in BVK Vagdevi from Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, at the culmination of the competitions near 15-week run on aha. The mega finale was graced with the charismatic presence of Megastar Chiranjeevi. The show was judged by Thaman S, Nitya Menon, and Karthik who put on some dazzling performances along with the contestants.
The first-ever season of ‘Telugu Indian Idol’ witnessed a series of special performances, including Rana Daggubati and Sai Pallavi who appeared as special guests to promote their highly-anticipated film ‘Virata Parvam’. Vagdevi now has the opportunity to sing in Geetha Arts along with the prize money of Rs 10 lakh.
‘Telugu Indian Idol’ is the first Southern iteration of the ‘Indian Idol’ franchise. Sreerama Chandra, a former winner of ‘Indian Idol season 5’, hosted the first season this year. From the Top 3 finalists, Sreenivas and Vaishnavi were declared as the first and second runners-up and were awarded cheques of Rs 3 lakh and Rs 2 lakh respectively. Vaishnavi also got an opportunity to sing in Megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming movie ‘Godfather’.
Talking about her journey on the show, winner Vagdevi said, “I would like to thank the judges, mentors and all the people for the immense support and love I received on these 15 weeklong journeys of ‘Telugu Indian Idol’. My rigorous effort over the past few months has finally paid off with this accomplishment. Geetha Arts has given me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which is nothing short of a dream come true for me. I’m thankful to aha for making this opportunity-rich platform for so many participants like me.”
