Through a lucky dip, three winners, Andrew from Kolkata, Richa from Lucknow and 9 year old Vidhi from Mumbai, were chosen.{{cite web | url=http://www.indiantelevision.com/release/y2k8/jan/janrel26.php | title=The Stars came down at the 'Airtel Bindass India Concert' | publisher=Indian Television | access-date=21 May 2008 | archive-date=30 August 2008 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080830014742/http://indiantelevision.com/release/y2k8/jan/janrel26.php | url-status=live }} The concert was telecast on Bindass on 26 January 2008 on Indian Republic Day.
