Antara: India's Britney Spears! The lights are bright, there's music in the background, press and radio journalists grappling for interviews. Antara's make up is being touched up constantly; Sandeep is hiding in the washroom. Amey, Anuj and Karunya are practicing while waiting for their photo shoot…a typical scene on the sets of Indian Idol. The Five finalists now hang out in two distinct groups. Karunya and Antara are best friends, while Sandeep, Anuj and Amey stick together. 'Anuj is the closest to me because whenever he has any problem, whatever it may be -- personal or related to singing -- he always confesses to me,' said Amey, who is friendly with everyone and keeps everyone in high spirits. Anuj, Amey and Sandeep had gelled right from the beginning of the galas and now with Anuj back on the show, The Three Musketeers are having a blast. Farah Khan seems to have taken Antara under her wing, as she's the only girl left on the show among four boys. 'Farah Ji is like a God Mother to me. It's because of her tips and help that my makeover has happened so well,' said Antara about her favourite judge. After Antara's last performance in a beautiful gown she actually went up to her and called her India's Britney Spears! Antara still misses Panna, who she had a soft corner for, and takes his opinion on the songs she sings. Panna has started doing stage shows and has been booked for the entire month in China and Dubai.
Amey's friendly and helpful attitude has made him the "leader" of the group, who everyone turns to when they need a shoulder to cry on or a piece of sane advice. He had taken it upon himself to tell the people who select the songs for the performances to include the contestants in the process, as they know what kind of song suits their voice.
