This is the time when fresh faces get to showcase their talents on a bigger platform. Zee Music's VJ hunt-- Kkalpes Patel VJ Banega Kya, is one such opportunity for aspiring VJs.

Passionate about talking, the three finalists from Mumbai, impressed the judges with their presence of mind and ready wit. Aneesha, an upcoming actress, has worked in serials like Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Dekho Magar Pyar Se and Kalcchakra. In its search for new faces, the channel has conducted auditions for aspiring VJs in Bangalore, Kolkata and New Delhi. The last leg of the auditions of the preliminary round were conducted in sub-urban Mumbai today.

Sixteen finalists, four from each city, will be brought to Mumbai and will host Suniyore, a dial-in show on Zee Music. The wit and humour, an integral part of the hunt, was present in full force among young Mumbaikars, who were present in large numbers for the audition. The main aim of the contestants was to take the limelight away from Kkalpes Patel, the mascot of the show, who tried to distract the participants.

"The tremendous response we have received to the VJ hunt is a clear indication that the youngsters these days are very focused. They know what they want to achieve and are passionate about it", says Bharat Ranga, Business Head, Zee Music.

Finally, five lucky contestants will be selected as VJs for Zee Music, by viewers who will vote for their favourite contestant.The timing of the launch of the show in March seems to be perfect as Indians would have found their "Idol" by then.The best part of all this is perhaps the fact that viewers will get to play God yet again!
