Amrita Rao-Vivek Oberoi: Mr and Miss Bombay Times Fresh Face 2010!

Action was happening at KC College on Monday evening, as Mumbai collegians competed keenly for the coveted title of Mr and Miss Bombay Times Fresh Face.

The grand finale befitted the event that kickstarted in January when Fresh Face fever caught on in city colleges and the contestants’ progress was closely registering a vote count of 25 lakhs! Monday saw the contest to a stunning end with two college hotties walking away with the title of Mr and Miss Bombay Times Fresh Face and four others being declared the runners-up in each category respectively.

There was fun, glam and non-stop excitement as round after round the contestants, looking gorgeous in Nishka Lulla and Troy Costa’s designer wear, wowed the judges and the audiences with their walk-n-talk and thrilling performances.

Judges, Bollywood stars Vivek Oberoi and Amrita Rao, were an absolute hit with the audience as was film director Imtiaz Ali. The show, choreographed by Marc Robinson, also had DJ Akbar and emcee Harsh, and was hugely entertaining.

The contestants had full support from their college friends and amidst the din and cacophony of whistles drums, and trumpets, the winners were crowned by Amrita, Vivek and Imtiaz. Aanam Chashmawala of MMK College danced and charmed her way to win the Miss Bombay Times Fresh Face 2010, while Tanuj Parakh’s (Jai Hind) mimicry of Johnny Depp, Irrfan Khan and Batman’s Joker saw him make it to the top as Mr Bombay Times Fresh Face 2010.

Crowd fave Avinash Tewari (MMK) beat-boxed his way to become the first runner-up, while Arshima Thapar’s yoga saw her declared as the first runner-up too. Arzan Antia (Jai Hind) and Susan Vaidyan (St Xavier’s) impressed all with their vocal talent to walk away as the second runners-up.

Amidst excited high-fives, tears and joyous hugs, the winners walked the ramp with the Bollywood stars and as Amrita and Vivek pointed out: “These kids are the real stars!” And what did these ‘fresh stars’ have to say? “Watch out Mumbai, here we come!” they called out in unison.
