Interestingly, not many know but this is not the first time that Hemant has performed on TV. The fan favourite has earlier featured on shows like Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar season 2 and India’s Got Talent. But the biggest surprise is yet to come.
Hemant has been a winner ever since his childhood days as he won the 2009 edition of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs. That’s quite a resume the singer is building to make his place in the land of opportunity.
Hemant won the second season of Rising Star by beating Rohanpreet Singh (2nd-runner-up) and Vishnumaya (3rd-runner-up).
