Dabur Honitus along with 92.7 BIG FM have come together to culminate the exciting, all new second successful season of BIG Junior RJ – Radio’s only talent hunt show that recognizes talent among children and helps them hone their skills. The month-long talent hunt campaign gave kids a platform to discover their hidden talent and showcase their skills. While winners from across 45 cities earned the opportunity to co-host the evening show in their respective cities, 92.7 BIG FM announced that the grand-finale winner will get yet another exciting opportunity to showcase his/her skills on a platform other than radio. The Judge for this unique competition was as unique and special. It was judged by popular celebrity and comic genius, Kiku Sharda who announced Vaibhav Kanaad from Mumbai as the grand finale winner.

Speaking of his win, an excited Vaibhav said, “I am really happy to get the chance to be an RJ as well as win my debut on television. The entire journey has been fun and I consider myself lucky to have received this chance to participate. I would like to thank 92.7 BIG FM to give me this opportunity and believe in me.”  While Kiku Sharda shared, “I’m astounded to see the talent pool that exists among kids today. It was particularly difficult to judge the kids at the finale stage because they were all so brilliant, spontaneous, funny and quick-witted that I honestly had a tough time doing what I was there to do. Seeing the kind of talent that these kids possess has opened me to up to an all-new world.”

As the BIG Junior RJ, Vaibhav did not only win the opportunity to co-host Mumbai’s No. 1 evening drive-time show with RJ Dilip but has also won the golden chance to debut on national television with BIG Magic’s historical comedy show, Akbar Birbal.
