but yeah the runner up got basically nothing...it was quite awkward actually...the hosts were like "sandeep gets this and that" while karu and his parents were just standing silently on stage 😕

I agree from the moment the winner was announced Karunya was in the background lost in the crowd. I understand it is Sandeep's moment but they should've said something and congratulated Karunya for getting this far. Sony did not plan that part well.. 🤢

He got only Rs 50,000. Watch Part-3 of what Nomi uploaded. After Mini tries to sneak into the voting room, Aman takes over and says that Jo nahi ban payega, woh Kali hath nahi lautega and says that it is Rs 50,000. Sandeep got Rs. 3,00,000

No Purva, it was Sandeep the winner who got the 3 lac visa card in addition to the 1 crore Rs. contract and the Maruti car. When they presented Sandeep with the 3 lac visa that visa card had a nice ribbon and bow around it.

Whereas soon after they presented the Rs. 50,000 visa card to Karunya which was just the same as they gave all other contestants and ofcourse the Nokia phone.

Sony made so much money from this show that they should have atleast given the runner-up something more than the rest of the contestants.

I did read somewhere that Karunya got a contract from Sony but I am not sure what exactly the contract is for.

The 1 crore contract that Sandeep got is not a given. Those types of contracts are usually tied to the amount of album sales, etc. I'd be surprised if Sandeep actually sees the full 1 crore. I am betting his album will not be hot-cakes.
