Currently Residing in: Mumbai

Profession: Playback Singer, Bollywood.

Family: Father and Mother

Favourite Actress: Rani, Kajol, Ash & Preity Zinta

Her Idol: Asha Bosle

Motto in life : B+ 😊

Born in Maslandpur, WB, she came from an artistic background: Antara's major source of inspiration is her father who is a music teacher. Her mother loved classical Indian music and dance, making sure that Antara began taking lessons at a young age. Although it would have made more sense for Antara to begin training in the Robindro Sangeet, her father was a music teacher of Hindustani style classical music, so Antara started out by learning Hindustani classical music Antara spent a great deal of time with her father who also influenced her to learn the Bengali style Rabindra Sangeet.

She won many awards in school and other competetions for the best singer and best classical artist and was popularly known as "Koyal". She was a darling of all the teachers. She proved all of them correct, by concentrating on her music. She was devoted to the music. Her regular schedule would be to wake up early, do the "riaz" first thing in the morning and then study for couple of hours. She also won the first prize in the all-Bengal music competition. She also participated in many stage shows.

In 2006, she got the first platform to project her talent nationwide. It was Indian Idol 2 competition. In Indian Idol 2, her performance in included songs like Rangeelare ,Ruki Ruki, Tu Ruttatho,Tere bina,Zara Zara ,Morni Bhagama, Bheri Piya , Mere hantoon Mein Nau Nau. Furthermore, Antara Mitra was called "Britney Spears" of India by Farah Khan, was known as Fav. Contestant of Anu Malik, also Ms. Poupular of Indian Idol. Antara's clostest friends from Indian Idol were Panna, Neha, Karunya and Meenal. Antara's Dream of meeting the Actors/Actress came True. She met Lots of Indian Actor and Actress and was shocked to see them. Though she could not win the title but she was in the final 5 and the only girl to be in Final 5. That gave her introduction to playback singing. She impressed the judges of the competition namely Anu Mallik, Sonu Nigam and Farah Khan. Anu Mallik was flattered on her tonal quality in the competition days itself.

After Indian Idol, young Antara made her first film recording, a Hindi duet with the legendary Sonu Nigam that was conducted by singer/composer Anu Mallik. Anu Mallik gave her a break in the movie"Umrao Jaan". Her voice was used against Aishwarya rai. It was a fantastic melody and emotional song "Shyam mose khelo na hori" for which she bagged her first Film Fare Award.

In her struggle phase, Anu Mallik backed her strongly. Legendary Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy gave her songs in a few films like Boxer, Chali jaise hawayein and a few other films. This opened up opportunities for Antara outside of the Anu Mallik camp, in which she had worked almost exclusively up to that point.

The early Anu Mallik films included Pyar Ke Raaste, Kamsin umariya, Ghar ke bahar, Rangeeli Duniya, Shadi ya barbadi and Ek Nai Paheli. The hits with Anu Mallik continued, with chartbusters like 'Kamsin umariya' (Kamsin Umariya), 'Kaisi yeh paheli' (Ek Nai Paheli). Then the sequel to Main hoon na came in which Antara rocked against Sonu nigam. While she broadened her horizons recording songs by other composers (as well as for television), she still continued to work with her early advocates, who provided most of her hits during this period. She scored huge hits with the tune "Main teri ho gayi" and the Anu Malik composition "Main hoon na" among many others.Antara, however, had achieved enough of a reputation that other filmmakers and musicians were eager to work with her.

2010 proved a watershed year for Antara's career: music director Anu Mallik staged a dazzling score with "Teri Meri Jodi", for which he used Antara as the only soundtrack vocalist. By the time the dust settled, Antara was arguably the most popular contemporary female vocalist in Indian film, landing several monster hits from Teri Meri Jodi (including "Kyon Naye hai raste" and "Savan pyaas jagaye") and winning several awards, including the coveted Filmfare award for Best Female Playback Singer for the song "Pyaar Hua" In 2011, Antara worked with the cream of Indian film music, including Anu Malik, Jatin/Lalit, A.R. Rahman, and Nadeem/Shravan, among many others; during 2012 and 2013, she extended her string of consecutive Filmfare awards to three, with the second and third coming for Yaroon ki dosti's "Mere Piya ka Ghar" and Kismat's "Aaj Main asmaan mein udti chaloon," respectively.

The hits kept on coming, and most fans agreed that the quality of her work was better than ever. In 2015, the virtuoso Shankar recruited Antara as a vocalist for his Shakti, coveting her versatility for a project dedicated to blending a tremendous variety of Asian and Western musics.

Antara recorded her 500^th song recently just before her 28^th B'day. There was a big party in her Juhu based apartment with all her II friends including Amey Date, Karunya, Panna Gill, Meenal Jain, Abhijeet Sawant, few name to name. Anu Mallik, Sonu Nigam and Farah Khan were also present as they were her first mentors and stepping stone in to Bollywood and the music industry. Her parents were present there and couldn't feel more proud on their daughter.

The Story of success



Place : Hotel Park, New York

Year : 2016



Meenal Jain is coming back after performing on one of the most happening shows of the world. As she appears on the lobby, a bunch of people flock towards her for autographs and congratulations for winning the one of the most prestigious awards in the singing Grammy Awards.


She somehow manages to go to her room when the phone rings and her secretary informs her that tickets for Mumbai is been booked and they have a flight next morning. She thanks the secretary and tells her to wake her up.




She tries and sleep but the sleep was a way away from her eyes. She goes near the window and looks up in the sky at the bright star. She sighs and thinks thatfs what she wanted to be shining like a star. Today she is one of the most sought after singer in Indian cinema. Almost every music director and producer as well as the actors wanted her to sing for them. She has achieved so much in such a short span of time. Every year she gets best female singerfs award which is a record in itself. She then smiles and thanks God and her family for supporting her and believing in her.



She thinks to herself that it all started on that day when she decided to go to her city of dream Mumbai and in front of her eyes flashback comes and she thinks about her past



Meenal Jain has always lived life on her own terms. When she was 11 years old, her elder sister, a trained classical dancer, was practicing to a song 'Piya Tohse Naine Laga Re'.



The song caught the attention of young Meenal so much that she wouldn't stop singing it and was even invited on stage by composer Ravindra Jain who had come to as a chief guest at her sister's show. A few words of appreciation from Ravindra Jain and Meenal knew what she would aspire for in life.


With the intention to become a singer, at the age of 11, Meenal urged her parents to allow her to enter Suresh Wadkar's training institute in Mumbai where music was taught in the guru-shishiya tradition.

But after three months of rigorous training here, Meenal couldn't take it any longer. She was so homesick that she had to leave the institute and go back to Indore. Her health suffered, but not her spirit.

Although her health deteriorated but not her spirit, she requested her parents to move to Mumbai so that she can pursue and chase after her dream of learning music. Her parents understood her passion and dream of learning classical music. So the yearning to learning brought her to the city of dreams Mumbai.

Life was not going to be easy for her then. She felt so miserable on committing, what she considers, the biggest mistake of her life. .



She came back to Mumbai in three days flat but didn't go back to the institute. Instead, she started learning music on her own from different people whilst completing her studies too.




An extrovert by nature, Meenal aims to make a new friend everyday. In her free time, she listens to Asha Bhonsle, adores Sunidhi Chauhan and dreams of Bryan Adams. Sometimes she also finds herself playing a game of basketball or badminton, depending on her mood.



Back to the hotel room she thinks about the moment when everything was so different. There was a moment when she wasnft very sure about what will happen next. But she was sure that her attitude of being positive will take her a long way, even that time. It was year 2005.

When one day her mother came running towards her with a paper in her hands. She cried with excitement e beta, there is a very good news for youf. Meenal said ewhat is it mamma.f Then her mother told her about the auditions for Indian Idols and encouraged her to take part in it. She decided to take part in it. When she reached there, she saw some thousand, two thousand people are in the queue in front of her. She prayed to God that he must give her one chance to show her talent. And God indeed heard her. She got a chance to sing in front of Sonuji, Anuji and Farahji. After the audition she came back and gave a big hug to her mother and was so emotional that couldnft tell her that she has been selected. And that day was the turning point of her life.




For Meenal Jain, Indian Idol was an opportunity to gain popularity, something that she had always dreamt about. She wanted to be known the world over with people admiring her. But this dream girl also knew that the road to Indian Idol wasn't too easy. She gave lot of very good performances. And Judges really liked her. Anuji and Sonuji really appreciated her talent. But in the sixth gala finals she could not get enough votes and had to leave the dream of been an Indian Idol. But she accepted her defeat in a very dignified way and in front of crores of viewers she promised that I WILL BE BACK WITH A BANG!!!!



She then concentrated on all the comments she had got from three judges and tried and improvised on it. Soon because of her popularity and talent she got her first big break. In the past she had sung some remixes but they were not enough to give her a recognition she desired. But this project she got was from very big banner and Ismail Darbarji himself had offered her a song in his movie. So she got her first real break. Then Anu ji fulfilled his promise and gave her a bigger platform and she along with Antara was the lead female singers in three of his movies. That year she also got the Filmfare award for best female singer. After that there was so stopping back. She got offers from movies as well as stage shows. Soon she came up with her own album which was an instant hit. She indeed came back with the bang.



While she was still thinking the phone bell rings . Meenal picks up the phone and secretary tells her that itfs their flight time. After keeping the phone back she says to herself g yes! I am going to Mumbai my city of dreamh.
