would
like
to
dedicate
the
award
to
my
mother
and
family
as
they
motivated
me
to
participate
in
the
reality
show.
When
my
family
saw
Karunya
(Indian
Idol
contestant)
on
the
show,
they
told
me
even
I
should
go.
However,
I
was
apprehensive
because
of
my
Hindi,
but
they
pushed
me
and
made
me
believe
that
I
could
do
it."
Revanth

cannot
ask
for
anything
better
than
this.
Winning
the
title
of
Indian
Idol
is
the
best
thing
that
happened
to
me.
The
journey
right
from
day
1
on
sets
till
today
has
been
filled
with
joy,
anxiety,
fun,
nervousness,
friendship
and
much
more."
Revanth
Is
Thankful
To
The
Judges
"I
am
thankful
to
the
judges
for
guiding
me
throughout
the
season
so
that
I
could
perform
better
each
time.
I
would
want
to
thank
Sony
Entertainment
Television
for
giving
me
the
platform,
where
the
nation
could
see
and
hear
my
talent.
Earlier,
I
was
only
known
in
south,
but
now
because
of
Indian
Idol
the
entire
nation
knows
me."

I
went
for
auditions,
I
was
often
insulted
for
not
knowing
Hindi
and
wanting
to
become
a
playback
singer."
Furthermore,
"People
made
fun
of
me,
but
when
I
hold
the
mic
I
forget
everything
and
that
has
helped
me
in
moving
forward
in
life.
I
am

and
make
the

of
his
win.

that
he
is
huge
fan
of
Akshay
Kumar
and
wants
to
sing
for
him.
"I
would
like
to
sing
for
everyone,
but
Akshay
Kumar
is
my
most
favourite
and
I
would
love
to
playback
for
him
someday",
