The event will be telecast on POGO on December 11, 11 a.m. onwards.
The spectacular event included an adrenalin-rushing performance by Zayed Khan with Shaimak Dawar's junior dance troupe and a hilarious round of poetry by child artist Jay Chiniara. Rahul Vaidya, the popular second runner up of Indian Idol mesmerised the audience with his silken voice while the striking ex-Miss World, Priyanka Chopra danced to the beats of "Mujhse shaadi karoge", "Tinka... tinka" and her popular song "Jine ke hai char din".
