Gaurav Chopra says, “Whatever happened on the ZND finale was unfortunate… but it is in the past now. We never thought it would have this sort of ending. The circumstances made us react how we did. We had no idea about how the finale would play out.” Even though the finale wasn’t what they expected Gaurav says that he has no regrets. He says, “I don’t bother about the results because I know I have worked hard for my performances. The rest is up to the judges to decide. I don’t have any regrets about what happened on the ZND finale.”


Winner Ashita Dhawan says that the boys’ team behaved in a very childish manner. She says, “When I won I wanted to celebrate as it took a lot of hard work and dedication to reach this spot.”

Ashita adds, “But, unfortunately I couldn’t be happy because the boys just walked off the stage! I don’t think it was a good move on their part and they should have showed a little more sportsmanship. It was very childish.”


Amey Pandya, the eight year old contestant from the boys’ side, says, “I had no idea about the protest. I was stuck in the middle of the stage wondering what to do and I had no option but to follow my team on ZND. I’d rather not talk about what happened on that night. It’s in the past and all I’d like to say is that ‘whatever happens, it happens for a reason’.”


Narayani Shashtri also feels that the boys’ departure put a damper on the winning teams’ spirit. She says, “Everything was moving so smoothly on the finale but when the boys’ team suddenly opted for a unique way of showing their disapproval it shocked us all! We didn’t feel like celebrating our victory!”


Amit Tandon says, "It’s still a mystery how things change on a reality show. I have no idea where the guys went wrong and we were a bit uncertain of some of the judging. And this made us all walk off stage… it wasn’t planned.”

However, Amit too doesn’t regret a single moment. He adds, “I don’t regret anything that happened as it happens in all walks of life.”
