Aryananda Babu, 14, and Rituraj, 8, from Kerala stole everyone’s hearts with their singing of the Hindi numbers as both are non-Hindi speakers. Aryananda could hardly speak Hindi while Rituraj’s pranks and energy and his broken Hindu amused everyone watching the show.

Sashiya Gupta, 7, was the youngest contestant on the show and showed her absolute command of all genres of music.
