JOY Times Fresh Face Season 14 saw 20 participants from colleges across India competing for the coveted title. At the grand finale held in Mumbai, where celebrity guests Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Sini Shetty (Femina Miss India World 2022) cheered for the finalists, Pune’s Vishakha Rai and Armaan Misra were declared winners. The ideal platform for budding stars from across India, JOY Times Fresh Face Season 14 witnessed thousands of college students battling it out for the coveted title. After several audition rounds and grooming sessions, 18 finalists and two JOY wildcard entries made it to the grand finale in Mumbai.

Talking about the finale, Shilpa said, “It was exciting to see so much talent under one roof. In my younger days, I participated in several contests, but did not win even one and yet, here I am today. So whatever the results are, one should not be disheartened. Keep believing in yourself.”
From impressive dance performances to mono-acting and stand-up comedy, the power-packed finale had it all. Fashion designer Narendra Kumar, who dressed the contestants, said, “Typo prints and graffiti , bomber, truckers, jogger and cargos... it was a streetwear collection for Gen Next. There was a unique sense of energy and vibrance of style.”
