The Delhi boy beat favourite Saptaparna Chakraborty from Sikkim

Ravi Shukla has won the Amul Star Voice of India 2008 title, in a fitting finale on Sunday, December 21, 2008. He beat Saptaparna Chakraborty from Sikkim, who was the favourite to win it.
As normally happens in a reality show these days, Ravi's win surprised everyone, as Saptaparna's face was splashed all over the media before the finale in anticipation of her victory.
But that was not to be. Viewers voted in Ravi instead to take home the title in the second season of Gajendrra Singh's show.
At the beginning of the finale, everyone paid tribute to deceased Voice of India winner (first season) Ishmeet Singh, and a trust in his name was founded. Ishmeet's family was also present on the occasion.

At a jewellery launch, Kaif showed the poise of a true star


You would have expected Katrina Kaif to fumble or search for words when she was asked about her 'look-alikes' who Salman Khan was promoting. But without batting an eyelid, the star replied, "That's so sweet of him!" adding that she hadn't seen them and was quite sure they were good looking.
Katrina faced the media at a plush Mumbai hotel where a prominent jewellery brand launched a new television commercial featuring her. The brand, which Aishwarya Rai Bachchan endorsed initially, chose Kaif as their 'Goddess of Luck' because 'she has been the lucky mascot of Bollywood with almost all her films proving successful'.
Needless the media, hungry for some controversy, quizzed her about stepping into Ash's shoes. Instead of evading the question, Kaif smilingly reminded the members of the press that they need not make a mountain out of a molehill. "There was someone endorsing it before me and someone will step in after me too," she pointed out.IN PICS: Katrina makes Nakshatra chief happy!
Question after controversial question, Katrina answered with the poise of a star and showed just why she is one of the most promising new number one leading lady.
Kaif who has always been a bit of controversy's child also replied to questions about her association with Akshay Kumar. The two were reportedly linked after many of their films began to do well at the box office. This liaison was also supposed to be the reason behind the alleged rift between her and Salman Khan.
Facing the media at the launch however, Katrina Kaif showed that she didn't need Salman Khan to become successful.
Kaif, who has Yash Raj's New York lined up for release refused to comment on the film since 'Yash Raj is very specific about the way they promote their films'. The star is also said to act opposite Shah Rukh Khan in a venture to be directed by veteran Yash Chopra.
Katrina is also starring in five other films with some of the most enviable banners. And with some high profile brands now coming her way it certainly seems like the new number one is finally here.
