'Lux The Chosen One', marks the official hunt for the face of UTV STARS – the official channel of Bollywood. 11 lucky girls have been chosen via on ground auditions held in 5 different cities, namely, Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Lucknow and Ahmedabad.

Thus begins the journey of 'Lux The Chosen One'

The 11 girls will undergo extensive grooming and training on the show and will be put through several tasks to test their mettle. For example:

After an all-night party, the girls are woken up at 5 am in the morning and are asked to look their best. A meeting with an international make - up artist to judge who's put their best foot forward is on the cards. Who has covered up their tired eyes the best?

An ace fashion designer's show wherein the girls get the opportunity to walk the ramp and are judged by the fashion designer himself/herself

Shoot a promo with an ad film director – with some really unique creative. The girls will have to promote themselves as the anchors of a show and convince people to watch their show. They will be given props and asked to position themselves as the most desirable anchor on UTV Stars.

In fact each of the tasks will be designed and judged by the film star himself/herself! Ace designers, renowned directors, make – up artists and other technicians from the industry will also be part of the show.
