Omani national Haitham Mohammed Rafi was crowned the winner at the grand finale of the reality show Dil Hai Hindustani. Along with the trophy, Haitham walked away with a cash prize of Rs 25 lakh.
Haitham, who left his career in finance to become a singer in India, left a lasting mark on the judges and audience with his vocals.
Sharing his excitement on the win, a beaming Haitham said, “I’m so grateful for everything I have got in life. I never imagined that a simple guy from Oman, who left his job to become a singer, would get so much love. I want to thank the people of India for so much love, and making me feel at home, even thousands of miles away. The contestants, crew and the judges of Dil Hai Hindustani are like family now; it will be difficult to imagine my life without them. Thank you to everyone who voted for me for making my dream come true.”
