'The World's Best': Did Dimash Kudaibergen quit because he thought he would be eliminated?

'The World's Best' came to an end after its grand finale episode on Wednesday. Ever since it premiered in February, the reality TV competition series never failed to give us our weekly dose of entertainment showcasing talent from all over the world. 

Every competitor that had participated in the competition had what it takes to be the world's best. But, sadly, there could only be one winner. After many rounds of auditions, battle rounds, and championship rounds, the series finally crowned 13-year-old piano prodigy Lydian Nadhaswaram as 'The World's Best.'



 

Though Nadhaswaram was the title winner of 'The World's Best', there was another frontrunner who won hearts of judges and fans alike, and that was Dimash Kudaibergen.

Everyone who rooted for Kudaibergen was so sure that the title would go to him. However, what no one expected was that Kudaibergen would quit the show during the Championship Rounds. He stated that his reason to quit the show was that he did not want to compete against children.

Could that really be the reason? Or was he afraid that he might end up losing to one of the children who were just as good as him? 

After his performance, he requested the judges to let 12-year-old Daneliya Tuleshova and 13-year-old Lydian Nadhaswaram to move forward as he did not want to compete against children and wanted to give them a level playing field.
