Ishita Vishwakarma on Sunday emerged as the winner of Zee TV’s ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2018’. Along with the winner’s trophy, Ishita Vishwakarma also took a home cash prize of Rs 5 lakh and a brand-new car. The Ishita Vishwakarma 16-year-old beat Sahil Solanki, Tanmay Chaturvedi, Aishwarya Pandit, Sonu Gill, and Aslam Abdul Majeed to win the coveted title. Tanmay and Sonu were announced as the first and second runner-up, respectively.
Talking about her win, Ishita Vishwakarma told BollywoodLife.com, “When the names of the third and second runner-up were announced then my name was not there. In this case, the last fight was to be between me and Sahil Solanki. At that time, I had lost every hope. She is a playback singer and already has a tremendous fan following.” Ishita further added, “I was feeling 100 percent that Sahil would be the winner. As soon as my name was announced, I thought it was a joke.”
Apart from Ishita Vishwakarma musical career, the young girl is keen to study further. “I am in my 11th standard now pursuing commerce. Post my schooling, I plan to take up music. While my mother always wanted me to pursue music, my father wanted his child to become a doctor. Though I love music, I want to fulfill my father’s dreams also. I will do a Ph.D. in music so that he gets to see the ‘Doctor’ title added to my name,” concluded Ishita Vishwakarma.
