The 23 year old was the first finalist after being a wildcard entry who got eliminated a few weeks before the grand finale. “I remember when I got eliminated it was very tough. And then when they selected me in wildcard I was so happy”, he adds recalling the disheartening moment when he had strange thoughts wrecking his mind, ‘’Khallas Haitham”, he thought “I have to go back to Oman and don’t know what to do now’’.

We take classes from morning until night. I now know Indian sargam and raags. For me DHH is like music school.” The show’s judges included acclaimed filmmaker Karan Johar, rapper Badshah, music director Shekhar Ravijani, and singer Shalmali Kholgade.  Even before winning the contest he was offered shows in various countries and even bollywood films. “I have lot of concerts in the near future across the globe but the first one I want to dedicate for the people of Oman, which will happen on 14th of April at the Al Bustan Palace. I have also been offered to sing in many bollywood movies, so inshallah, I am looking forward to take anything what the almighty is offering”.
