The show had eight challenges that contestants had to complete. Announcing Yuvraj as the winner during the lockdown, Varun Dhawan further added:   

All of us are at our homes at this time. I can’t come and congratulate you in person. This is the first show that I have hosted. You have won Rs 1 crore. I know the struggles you have gone through. I am blessed to have met you and seen you perform. You have been giving the best performances for 8 straight weeks. You have many fans. Wishing you all the best, my friend. God bless you. 

Yuvraj Singh’s father who is a tile fitting labourer in Jodhpur was unsurprisingly happy to hear about his son’s victory.

Even though Baba Jackson is a die-hard fan of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, his sister claims that Yuvraj started learning dance steps after watching Tiger Shroff’s Munna Michael.
