Rauf Lala has been crowned the Hasi Ka Shahenshah after 18 weeks of raising laughter with his wit and comic talent. Judges Navjot Singh Sidhu, Shekhar Suman and the sultry Bipasha Basu crowned the winner and handed over the keys of the brand new Chevrolet Aveo. Amongst the seven finalists, Mumbai's Rajeev Nigam was adjudged the 1st runner-up while Agra's Pratap Fauzdar and Chandigarh's Khayali Saharan shared the trophy for the 2nd runner-up position. An overwhelmed Rauf Lala said, "When my name was announced I thought I was dreaming! I am absolutely ecstatic right now and humbled to be sharing the same stage as icons like Sidhusaab & Shekharbhai. I am sure everyone back home in Pakistan will be very proud and happy with my achievements today. I want to extend my gratitude and heartfelt thanks to Star One, the people of India and everyone from The Great Indian Laughter Challenge Dwitiya for this opportunity and for honoring me with this wonderful title. Allah has been very kind to me." Originally from Karachi, Rauf Lala has been a professional stand-up comedian in Pakistan for over two decades.
