ankita's interview
I walked out like an Indian Idol"
- Ankita Mishra
Ankita Mishra is a fiery performer—she sizzles, rocks and gets the audience on their feet. Little wonder then that an eminent lyricist like Javed Akhtar couldn't help but come onto the stage to dance with her.
But if she was, indeed, so immensely gifted, what went wrong? How could the audience choose a sweet Richa to the powerhouse Ankita?
After her elimination, Ankita was sitting quietly eating her lunch. She looked pale. When asked what was on her agenda next, she smiled and said she would give her best in the 'Wild Card' entry. A pragmatic girl, she said it would be great if she got through, but if she didn't then she would fight it out in the big bad world of Mumbai.
So she was planning to stay back in Mumbai? Yes, she nodded. She has always wanted to become a playback singer. It was time she struggled to achieve her dream. She said Indian Idol had given her an amazing platform and people now knew her. And considering she was just 17 with no formal training in music, it was a good beginning.
So how did she learn to sing so well? According to her, it was all thanks to Shobhan mandir and, of course, what she learnt along the way as she strived to enter the Top 10.
What was X-factor according to her? She said it was not just about looking good; it was also about how you perform and present yourself on stage. When asked if she had to face any politics on the show, she said 'not really'. But there definitely was rivalry. She said some acted like they were 10 years old to win public sympathy.
Was she talking about Richa? She changed the topic and said Chang or Parleen would win the title. According to her, among the girls, Charu had a fair chance. In the end, it's all in the hands of God, she said with a sad smile.
