Most voting-based singing reality show winners usually end up from those with healthy social media support. There are exceptions, and some win on the back of very strong regional support which is often minority ethnic and linguistic based.
So, it is useful to have a look at the Instagram standings of the contestants this year at the start of the competition to narrow down potential winner/finalists.
Of this lot, the standout popular contestant is Miah Essa Mehak with 553K followers on IG. The list is as below in order of follower rankings:
IG followers 20/3/24
Miah Essa Mehak 553K
Diya Hegde 267K
Pihu Sharma 33K
Atharva Bakshi 18K
Devanasriya K 12.1K
Khushi Nagar 8.5K
Vaishnavy Panicker 5.8K
Shubh Sutradhar 5K
Kshitij Saxena 5K
Avirbhav S 3.5K
Laisel Rai 1.5K
Shantanu Mohanty 1.5K
Nishant Gupta 0.5k
Rajdeep Ghosh 0.5k
Master Aryan 0.3K
This order will change as the show progresses and that will be indicative of their popularity in the show, which is often a good pointer on voting trends in most cases.
If I remember right, the initial eliminations are not vote -based but decided by the Judge/Organizers. So someone with high following may get eliminated early unless the algorithm suggests that he/she is attracting strong viewer support. Let's see.
