AGT: All Stars contestant duo Divyansh and Manuraj on their Indian Got Talent franchise win
The duo took to the stage in India's Got Talent season 9. While Manuraj delivered an impressive performance on his flute, Divyansh mesmerized everyone with his beatboxing skills.
The pair collaborated specifically for the reality talent show and received the Golden Buzzer from the judges, rapper Badshah, actress Shilpa Shetty, veteran actress Kirron Kher and lyricist Manoj Muntashir.
They kept climbing up the ladder and delivered impressive performances. The duo's chemistry and on-stage presence left the judges and viewers stunned. They were eventually crowned the winners of the Indian reality TV show in 2019, and walked away with 20 lakhs as prize money from the competition.
The AGT: All Stars contestant duo hail from the city of Rajasthan in India and worked extremely hard to compete in the talent show. In an interview with India Today, the duo expressed that they were confident in their skills, hard work and perseverance that led them to win. Divyansh said:
“To be honest, we were expecting it because we had put our 100 per cent effort and we were very consistent from the beginning."
Both the contestants felt that it was their strong passion for music that helped them create magic on stage. In an interview with India Today, they confessed that their individual styles are as different as "chalk and cheese." This signaled the fact that they had to make several adjustments throughout the course of the season, however, it was all worth the win in the end.
Divyansh said:
"One thing common between both of us is our love and passion for music. Ever since we came on this show, our aim was not to win, but to reach out to the masses, present something new and make more people interested in the kind of music we create – a jugalbandi of beatboxing and classical musical instrument."
Manuraj, for his part, revealed that the AGT: All Stars duo hadn't slept for days ahead of their performance in the finale episode of India's Got Talent season 9. They expressed their gratitude for the support they received from fans.
Since winning the show, Divyansh and Manuraj have received several offers to perform nationally and globally. This included getting to work with one of Bollywood's top filmmakers Rohit Shetty for his now-released movie Cirkus. The duo now plan to work together to spread Indian music across the world by performing on AGT: All Stars.
AGT: All Stars will have former contestants come with sufficient experience and talent, making the reality talent competition even tougher. With the stakes this high, the participants will put their best foot forward to prove their mettle. Only time will tell who stands victorious and worthy of the coveted title.
