From acting to dancing, students put their best foot forward


The auditions of Livon Bombay Times Fresh Face Season 11 had students upping their creative game


When actor Sidharth Shukla entered the auditorium of IIT Bombay, he knew that he was in for a tough time as the celebrity judge of Livon Bombay Times Fresh Face Season 11 audition round. The event was conducted at IIT Bombay in association with Mood Indigo, one of Asia’s largest college cultural fests.

“I am happy to be here. This is going to be amazing,” he was overheard saying, while judging a contestant’s soulful poem on life and love. If the lyrical poems and delightful dance performances weren’t enough, winner Markand Soni rendered a mash-up of iconic songs from the 70s and 80s, and the female winner, Ayesha Modak gave an energetic performance. Incidentally, Markand and Ayesha were also crowned Mr and Miss Mood Indigo 2018 respectively. 1st Runner-Up Sumit Rawal, an aspiring actor, was just as mesmerising with his acting piece and so was his fellow title holder Prachi Shah, who proved that she’s got killer moves.


For 2nd Runner-Up Gaurav Chawla, it was dance all the way. His female counterpart Shruti Tripathi was just his mirror image when it came to dancing — fiercely confident on stage. Suhana Biswas’s hair sure made a statement on stage and that is exactly why she took home the title of ‘Livon Miss Fab Hair’.

While leaving the campus, as Sidharth Shukla posed for selfies with students, he told them how his parents always wanted him to be a part of IIT. “Unfortunately I couldn’t make it here as a student, but I’m glad I came here as a judge,” he signed off.
