Shaheb Bibi Golaam star Swastika Mukherjee presented the winner’s trophy to Sidharth Thapa, a first-year student of iLead, in the 3 Minutes To Fame category at t2 Festopolis 2016. The three-day fest that began on August 26 at Acropolis mall in Kasba concluded with final battles in different categories and the prize distribution ceremony on Sunday.

Two hundred and fifty students from more than 40 colleges participated in six events — Fashionopolis, the fashion show, Hot Stepper, the fusion dance competition, Band Hunt, the band competition, Sing Alone, the western solo vocal competition, Ragasutra, the eastern solo vocal competition, and 3 Minutes To Fame. 

“College students have positive energy and spontaneity. It is good to see them excited on stage, showcasing their talent. It is a great idea to organise a fest in a mall. Apart from students, people who have come to shop and eat here are able to catch the performances too,” said Swastika.
