Meanwhile, Pawandeep was announced the Indian Idol 12 winner late Sunday night. Although thrilled about winning the show, the singer told a leading daily that he was heartbroken to see his fellow contestant lose.

In fact, when I got the trophy I was not feeling very great because all of us were deserving. We all have planned to work together in future and we will be in contact with each other even after the show,” he said. Pawandeep not only won a trophy but was also awarded a car and a cheque of ₹25 lakh.
