Raja Hasan

<em> Ustaadon Ka Ustaad </em> is a unique reality show and going by the final result it indeed has played true to its uniqueness. All three segments – dance, comedy and singing – have seen surprise winners.

In a realty show, it's always the popular candidate that wins the contest. For more than 30 weeks, Bikaner's Raja Hasan ruled the roost on <em> Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007</em>. No one evoked a bigger response from the audience and the viewers than Raja. When the winner was to be announced, 22,000 people across the stadium echoed his name. However, the name that cropped up wasn't his but that of Kolkata's Aneek Dhar.

His wild card entry attracted criticism from some quarters but at the end of the grand finale of<em> Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007</em>, Aneek Dhar was crowned the undisputed winner. The 17-year-old from Kolkata pipped Bikaner's Raja Hasan by a whopping 13 lakh votes to win the musical reality show. Apart from bagging a Rs 50 lakh contract with Zee TV and Universal Music, Aneek won a Chevrolet spark car too.
