Host Divyadarshini (DD) hosted a Yuvan vs. Yuvan fans segment during the show. In it, DD sings a line from the songs released in Yuvan’s music, and Yuvan Shankar Raja or his fans have to guess what song it is and sing it.

Yuvan started to sing the song ‘Ananda Yazhai Meetugirai’, which is a heart touching song in Yuvan’s career, saying that he was dedicating it to his daughter, the fans clapped on one side, and Yuvan’s daughter Siya was singing enthusiastically towards her father.
Covid changed the whole world in the last two years. Especially in Malaysia, many restrictions are still being followed even now, even though the impact is not severe. In this situation, Malaysian fans are very happy that such an exciting event took place after two years to relax the people there.
The second day program continued on Sunday!
