The Livon Hyderabad Times

Fresh Face

Season 11 has zeroed in on its finalists after two months of auditions. Held at the Times of India office,

Banjara Hills

, the semi-final saw around 100 boys and girls compete with each other to reach the city finals and eventually only 24 of them booked a berth in the national finale.

Since the completion of the initial rounds of auditions, the participants were waiting with bated breath for the semi-finals and finally when the day came, they left no stone unturned to impress the celebrity judges — fashion designer Zubin Vakil and rapper Pranav Chaganty of Kaala fame. All the participants came charged up to give their best. While some focused on their costumes to look perfect, others gave interesting twists to their acts to impress the judges. Whether they were beat-boxing, mimicking, singing or dancing, all the participants seemed to have done their homework before taking to the stage and it was visible from the energy they exuded.

As one outstanding performance followed another, it became difficult for the judges to pick the best among the participants. But after mulling over it for a good half-an-hour, the judges finally zeroed in on 12 finalists, from both the boys’ and girls’ categories.

Among the girls, the participants who made the cut were Tarun Singh and Kavya Methi from Bhavan’s Vivekananda College, Siri Chandana and Ankitha Bhutada from INIFD, Azra Tazeen from St Mary’s College, Yousufguda, Srihitha and M Rikitha from Gitam University, K Shivani from St Mary’sCentenary College, Priya Raman from Keshav Memorial Institute of Technology, M Rajaa Jahnavi from Marri Laxman Reddy Institute of Technology and Management, Keertana Kandrakota from Malla Reddy Engineering College and Mahitha Gopu from Guru Nanak Institutions Technical Campus.

In the boys’ category, Abhishek Sharma and Ch Raghava from Gitam University, J Jayakar from Hamstech, A Niranjan and Arun Ratna from Guru Nanak Institutions Technical Campus, P Sandeep from Bhavan’s Vivekananda College, Andre Mathews, N Parthiv and Abhradhwaj Manocha from St Mary’s College Yousufguda, Dikshit from Aurora, B Anush Raj from Marri Laxman Reddy Institute of Technology Management and Steve Khatri from St Mary’s Centenary College were declared as city finalists.

Both Zubin and Pranav also shared a few tips with the winners and wished them all the best for the finale. The finale of Livon Hyderabad Times Fresh Face Season 11 will be held on December 9 from 6 pm onwards at
