After three months the curtains finally fell on MTV's third VJ Hunt last night in Mumbai. It was an action packed night at Mikano's in Worli Naka and for the final five who were crowned VJs - Anusha, Aditya, Sophiya, Vivan, Ramona - it was a time to let it all hang loose and party.

Proceedings to choose five VJ's were conducted within a squared circle made up like a boxing ring. The idea was to give the VJs who appeared on the stage in pairings of two a chance to verbally spar against each other.

All smiles are MTV India's new VJs (from left) Aditya, Ramona, Anusha, Sophiya and Vivan.
The 14 finalists were introduced through video clips showing them hosting the various shows on the channel from 24-30 June like Loveline, talking a bit about themselves and snippets of them chilling out on the beach in Goa. The introductions were interspersed with performances by Anamika who was accompanied with a dance troupe, Indipop singer Shaan and Pakistani singer Adnam Sami.

The channel chose the finalists from 12,000 entries, which were received not just from the metro cities but also from small towns. Fans could vote online on indiatimes.com, on air and for the first time they could send SMS messages on 688 indicating their VJ preference. Newly crowned VJs Anusha, Aditya, Sophiya, Vivan and Ramona were duly "christened" by having their faces smeared with cream pie.

The programme will air on the channel before the end of the month.
