Actor and anchor Rithvik Dhanjani currently hosting the reality talent show India's Got Talent had a big surprise in store for the judges, audiences and the crew alike. The show has been a witness to some out of the box acts and never seen on television before stunts by participants from across India.

The flamboyant and ever spontaneous Rithvik Dhanjani who is hosting the show alongside comedian Bharti Singh decided to surprise the audiences with an impromptu act albeit wearing a mask concealing his identity that later made the audience break into a roaring applause.

Rithvik shared, “I had earlier done magic shows in Dubai when I used to do odd jobs before moving to Mumbai. It was just 4 of us from the entire crew who knew and executed the whole act. I was supposed to go as one of the contestants and to hide the identity we created this whole character of this unidentified masked man who hailed from a small town and did some interesting magic tricks. Though the team was sceptical of me involving in a conversation with the judges as that would give away, I was confident to trick them into believing and that is exactly what happened. I performed the act with background music.”

“The 3 judges looked impressed and apparently selected me for the next round and we also had a chat for about 10 minutes but they never figured. So before leaving the stage I requested if I could perform another act and ended up narrating my lines as the host and took off the mask. The expressions of the judges and the audiences were priceless,” he concluded.
