The stage was set, the atmosphere was electric, and after months of heart-stirring performances, Nikhil was declared the winner of Super Singer Season 11. In a grand finale that was nothing short of spectacular, held on February 1, 2026, at the EVP Film City in Chennai, Nikhil's singing talent saw him take home the prestigious title and a life-altering grand prize of a luxurious house valued at ₹60 lakh. The finale was a testament to the best of musical talent, as the seven finalists engaged in a cutthroat battle for supremacy in the grand finale, after fighting their way through 52 episodes of strict competition. Although the online polls indicated a close contest between fan favourites Dishathana and Saran, Nikhil's final acts turned the balance in his favour, winning over both the legendary judges' panel and the fans.
The grand finale featured the finalists Nikhil, Dishathana, Meenakshi, Thavaseeli, Saran Raja, Darshana, and Abraham performing two rounds of competitive tasks. The jury, consisting of playback singers P. Unnikrishnan, Anuradha Sriram, director Mysskin, and music director Gangai Amaran, had the tough job of judging the finalists along with the huge number of votes that poured in from the audience through JioHotstar and missed calls. Though Nikhil won the competition, the contest was so close that the runners-up were also given a substantial prize for their efforts:
Winner: Nikhil (Received a ₹60 Lakh Apartment from DAC Developers and the Title Trophy).
1st Runners-up: Saran Raja and Dishathana (Shared the position, receiving ₹10 Lakh each).
2nd Runner-up: Meenakshi (Received a cash prize of ₹5 Lakh).
3rd Runner-up: Thavaseeli (Received a cash prize of ₹3 Lakh).
