Students display talent at Times Fresh Face auditions

Students on Bangalore campuses are bursting with talent, and that was more than apparent at the Clean & Clear Bangalore Times Fresh Face 2012 auditions at SBM Jain College, Jayanagar. The participants made a beeline for the registration counter, while the judges — actor Shubha Punja and RJ Vicky — waited for the enthusiastic crowd to settle down. It was an exuberant and confident lot that took the stage at this college.
Fashion seemed to be the theme of the day, as several boys and girls strutted their stuff on the ramp. Displaying one talent didn’t seem to be enough as several students made their performances a double dhamaka with a dose of naach-gaana, along with their catwalk act. Ankit Sagar enthralled the crowd by doing rap Eminem style, while Pooja C got the audience’s attention with her graceful moves.
With over 60 participants displaying a plethora of talent, it was the Q&A round that helped the finalists clinch the title. Nakul Sunil’s distinctive jig and his confident act of asking a fellow classmate out on a date in the form of a dance, and Crystal Clement’s vibrant dance moves got them the winning positions. Viddatra Balaji’s beatboxing and Nidhi Prakash’s soulful singing helped them earn the title of first runners-up. Aman Saini, walked the ramp with style and broke into a jig, and Kruthi Nagaraj did a flawless rendition of an English number, and were adjudged the second runners-up.
