Mr Lei Entertaine­rs, Mohammed Khan, scooped the King contestant­s’ Best Talent Award at the 2018 Vodafone Fiji Hibiscus Festival. Twelve contestant­s wowed the crowd with songs, dances, dedication­s and many other forms of talent at the Bank of Baroda tent at Valelevu ground on Tuesday night. The 21-year-old from Sigatoka was thrilled to be awarded with the award.

The elder of two siblings thanked his sponsor, Lei Entertaine­rs, and the former contestant sponsored by them, Ritchie Stuart, for all their support and help provided in preparing his performanc­e. He dedicated his award to his hometown of Sigatoka, his sponsor, his family and relatives and everyone who had supported him. He said the talent performanc­e was hard work for him and the sponsors, but he was blessed to be supported by his team throughout the festival.

“My talent performanc­e was about the cultures I hail from. I tried to blend in the different cultures to show that we can be Fijians,” Mr Khan said.

He said through his performanc­e, he also conveyed a message to the audience and all Fijians that everybody should love and prevent cruelty in the world.

“If we love, we will prosper. People should start appreciati­ng each other. It does not matter who, how or where the person is from. “Let’s appreciate each other and build a better Fiji,” Mr Khan said.
