Cash prize to contestants
The television reality show, Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega recently welcomed the famous Bollywood singers, Mika Singh and Shaan in their talent show as guest of the evening.
The singers who will be making their acting debuts in their upcoming comedy-caper Balwinder Singh Famous Ho Gaya were deeply moved after seeing some wonderful performances in the show. The singers were so impressed that they gifted an amount of 2, 07, 000 rupees to the contestants.
When questioned about his surprising gesture, Shaan said, “It was Mika’s initiative actually. He decided to gift the contestants and I also got inspired. I was particularly impressed by this sand artiste Hariharan, who drew Sachin Tendulkar’s life story in four sketches and the girls who performed a skipping act through fire. They were the prime contenders but they could not make it to the next round and this was our way of encouraging them.”
Mika also runs an NGO – Divine Touch, which takes care of girl child. The singer was questioned about his interest in charity and his NGO, on which he said, “For the last 15 years, I have been doing some social work but four years ago, I decided to start a NGO to help girls who are poor and cannot afford education or have problems during marriage. I contribute ten per cent of my earnings to the organization. When I went on the sets of EKLKBK, I had not planned to donate money but I was so impressed with the performances that on the spot I decided to gift money to encourage them.”
Started in 2009, this entertainment reality show is based on the popular American show, ‘Thirty seconds to Fame’ in which the contestants are given one minute to showcase their talent and win prizes accordingly. The show hosted by Mona Singh and Krushna Abhishek, is aired on Sony Entertainment channel on weekdays. Anu Malik and Farah Khan are its judges since season one.
