Mumbai, June 5 (IANS) The reality show ‘Hip Hop India 2’ has decided its winner for its second season. Contestant Shubhankar, who is known by his stage name, Hectik, was crowned the winner.
With Remo D’Souza and Malaika Arora added at the helm as the judges, Bollywood actors Sara Ali Khan and Adtiya Roy Kapur graced the season finale. They were there to promote their upcoming film ‘Metro…In Dino’.
