Pawandeep Rajan was declared to be the winner of the singing reality show Indian Idol 12 on Sunday night. Rajan was competing with Arunita Kanjilal, Mohd Danish, Sayali Kamble, Nihal Tauro and Shanmukhapriya for the grand finale but was probably the favourite choice to win the competition, given the amount of love he received on social media following his win.
