Commenting on the campaign Mr. Vineet Mittal, Business Head- BIG Rural, Reliance Broadcasting Network Limited said, "At RBNL, we thrive to provide our listeners with the best of entertainment on-air and some innovative ways of engaging with them on-ground. Above all, we are an organization who strives to empower individuals be it through honing of talent or helping them discover their hidden abilities. With Hajmola Chatpata No. 1, we have aimed to discover the best of comedians from across the country and offer them with a platform to make it BIG.”
In its second season this year, Hajmola Chatpata No. 1, the mega comedy talent hunt saw participation from young talent across the country. With over 10,000 participants aspiring to win the title, Saddam Sheikh emerged as the champion, winning the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to debut on television alongside popular actor Kiku Sharda on Har Mushkil Ka Hal Akbar Birbal.
Only 22 years old, the talented Saddam Sheikh currently pursuing M.A. in Hindi Literature was born in Aurangabad to a father who works as a labourer and a mother who is a house-wife. Having assisted a director for three short films at Swaranjali Chitra Productions and garnering 5 years of experience in theatre, Saddam was brilliant at everything he chose to do.

My journey has been simply amazing and the people of RBNL have been extremely supportive and motivating.”
The association between Dabur Hajmola and 92.7 BIG FM has only grown over the comic talent hunt’s two seasons. The responses from listeners and participants alike were well-received. The partnership between Hajmola, India’s most popular tasty, fun-filled candy and 92.7 BIG FM with its vast reach was a perfect fit to be able to scout, identify and thereby encourage hidden comic talent from the various corners of India.
