(Beirut - mbc.net) The first live episode of the Arab world's number 1 talent show, Arabs Got Talent in its 3rd Season, kicked off in an exhilarating night that witnessed eight of the most talented acts on MBC4 and MBC MASR.
A total of 8 exceptional acts put their best show on stage in front of the AGT Jury and millions of viewers hoping to qualify to the finals. However, only 1 act, The Sheyyab group from Kuwait acquired the most audience and viewers' votes at the end of the evening and was automatically qualified to the finals. Moreover, all four members of the jury unanimously agreed to choose Mohamed AlDiri from Palestine to qualify to the finals, based on his exceptional wall carving act which resulted in a beautiful piece of art, dedicated to the memory of the late legendary Lebanese singer, Wadih Al Safi. At the end, the show witnessed 2 acts going through to the finals, and the other 6 leaving back home, but only to start their exceptional talent journey after AGT.
However, the biggest surprise of the evening was the official launch of the all-new MBC Bollywood Channel through a dazzling performance of one of India's most loved and multi-talented actresses Karina Kapoor and supported by her artistic group of dancers. Karina performed a marvelous work of art, rich in Indian culture, and included only the best in dance and theatrical performance. It is worth noting that MBC Bollywood is the 14th Channel to be added to MBC Group's rich bouquet of channels.

Najwa also added that while the audience is a key factor to their success, there are other aspects that come to play as well, such as: God's will, Charisma, Personal development and infinite ambition.
