Daijiworld Media Network - Mumbai
Mumbai, Aug 12: The winner of Sony TV’s singing reality show, Indian Idol -12 (2021), is all set to be announced on Sunday August 15. Among the six top contestants, Mangalurean Nihal Tauro who is the winner of several local, regional and state-level reality shows in the past, is all set to be the first Kannadiga to win the prestigious title. Though heavy social media lobby is in favour of Uttarakand's Pawandeep Rajan and West Bengal's Arunitha Kanjilal, it is speculated that 'dark horse' Nihal Tauro will win the title.
Though fans of contestants are promoting their favourite singer requesting votes, it is highly unlikely to decide the final winner and the real talent will lift the title. Sayli Kambli, Mohammad Danish and Shanmukha Priya are the other contestants on fray.
Sony TV will telecast the finale from August 15 from 12 noon onwards. Several Bollywood actors, singers and others are expected to join the show to promote their movies and perform live.
Nihal Tauro is the son of Herald Tauro, a banker and Precilla Tauro, a teacher, hailing from Alangar in Moodbidri.
It may be recalled here, Nihal was winner of 'Daijiworld Studio Voice' a few years ago.
