Rising Star 2 winner “Hemant Brijwasi”

Hemant Brijwasi, winner of music reality TV show Rising Star India 2, has already had a tryst with singing for Bollywood films. But he says his dream is bigger than being a playback singer.

Brijwasi won the title on Sunday night, taking home a prize amount of Rs 20 lakh.

“I never imagined to be the winner,” the young talent told IANS over phone.

“I am thankful to all our mentors and especially to Shankar Mahadevan who encouraged me to try out different genres,” he added.
