The amphitheatre of Dayananda Sagar Institutions was echoing with excitement well before the auditions of the Clean & Clear Bangalore Times Fresh Face 2014 contest even began. Several students registered for the event, including some from last year.
The talent round was a fun session as the students sang, danced, mimicked, acted and beat-boxed. Though the majority of participants were boys, the audiences enjoyed cheering and hooting for every single person who participated. Some noteworthy performances included Nikeel Mohan’s entertaining Bhojpuri dance and Yoshita P’s powerful beat-boxing.

The second round was equally engaging as our judges — theater personality and television actor Shashank Purushottam and RJ Siri — encouraged the participants and asked them questions about their values and morals.

After the second round, it was time to announce the winners.

Manal Ahmed Nazir’s acting skills and mature answer in the question-answer round, and Sneh Gupta’s brisk movements made them the winners.

The first runners-up were equally good — Ritika Pundir’s melodious singing and energetic dance moves and Chandramouly Kandachar’s super-fast rap were applauded by all.

The second runners-up were also loved by the audience and judges — Nikhil Shenoy’s twisted moves were a treat to watch and Vaishnavi Swaminathan’s confidence in the second round was appreciable.

The radio partner for Clean & Clear Bangalore Times Fresh Face 2014 is Radio Mirchi.
