Third round of the musical talent hunt Closeup 1 Tomakei Khujchhe Bangladesh has finally ended and names of the 16 finalists were announced.

The finalists of the show attended a press conference held at Club Amazon, a family amusement centre at Gulshan, on November 14. The contestants went through an interactive session with the media, organised by Unilever Bangladesh Limited and ntv. The conversation with the participants revealed their hopes, aspirations and their reactions regarding their performances. The journalists quizzed the finalists on their experience at the contest and their expectations from it.

The reality show is moving towards its finale. As the show enters its last leg, the 16 young finalists -- Badhon, Pulok, Emon, Salma, Poran, Nishita, Champa, Sabbir, Muhit, Muhin, Palash, Putul, Mona, Ranti, Kishor and Rafat -- are now busy rehearsing and prepping for the final event. The finalists were selected out of more than 55,000 entries from all over the country. The candidates will go through an extensive training and grooming session by an expert panel to develop their potential in different fields. The experts will provide tips on various aspects of music.

The show is currently aired on ntv every Friday and Sunday at 9:10pm.
