PIANO ROUND
Day One: (Aaye Re Khushi)
Mishra performed "Aaye Re Khushi", dressed up like a tomboy and singing a song about a traditionally feminine character, who likes to be adorned with "Choorian" and "Payal". Mishra's performance got her great reviews. Alisha Chinai asked her why she is so good, and asked about how Mishra's a tomboy singing about a girly girl, asking "You got it all", to which Mishra replied yes. Javed Akhtar commented that if there was some way he could give a 110% rating, he would have. Udit Narayan stood up for her and said that he was so taken with her performance that he felt like dancing with her. Mishra subsequently requested Narayan to come on stage and dance with her. Afterwards, Narayan also performed the reworked "Paan Banaras Wala" from the Bollywood movie, "Don".
she was safe👏
Day Two:(Ajnabee)
Mishra performed "Ajnabee", this time highlighting her performance by using a revolving stool to depict the beginning and ending of her performance. Javed Akhtar said that she performed and sang really well, and being the last judge who hasn't danced with Ankita yet, he should have joined her but he cheated a little. Udit Narayan said that the reason Akhtar didn't join her on stage was because he had even higher expectations from her, and if she delivers another performance of the same calibre, he would definitely join her. Alisha Chinai said that while the performance was mindblowing, Mishra was so engrossed in it that she wasn't able to maintain her pitch and key. Mishra landed in the bottom 4, but was saved by the public. Aisha Syed, Vanita, and Priyanka were eliminated.
ankii was safe👏
Day Three: (Golmaal)
Mishra performed the title track of "Golmaal", and once again she was back to her signature tomboy attire. Alisha Chinai reminded her that while her performance once again was really good, it took away from her singing which was a little flat. Udit Narayan mentioned that Mishra came onstage without her usual spirit and energy and that he hoped that this lack of energy wans't because of a comment he had made after her performance in the first week. He said that she should bring her energy back because she has the style, the personality, the edge that she can really deliver Earth shattering performances, and while she was offkey, he still would like to see her in the Top 10. Javed Ahtar said that he loved Mishra's performance, and that her authenticity and passion for music shone through, even though Chinai's point was valid that Mishra did go flat in places. The host, Mini Mathur, defended Mishra by saying that the judges should give her due credit for bringing her unique edge to the competition, Javed Akhtar agreed and went on to dedicate a verse to Ankita, which talked about someone who like to assert their uniqueness by treading paths that aren't commonly chosen. Udit Narayan got a little emotional after Akhtar's declaration, and once again said that Mishra should bring her energy back because the judges have a lot of hope and expectations from her.
she was safe👏
Day Four: (Aisa Koi Dilwala Re)
Mishra performed "Aisa Koi Dilwala Re", getting good reviews all around. Though once again, Chinai mentioned that her singing was a little offkey. Mishra was subsequently eliminated the next day.😭😭
She was eliminated from the "piano round" and thus lost her chance to enter the Top 13 on Indian Idol 3. However, the judges granted her a spot in the final "Gala Rounds" via a Wildcard Entry. She has garnered much fame thanks to her firecracker performances since then, and her singing has vastly improved despite the comments of many of her own skeptical co-contestants whom she was largely unaffected by. She thrives on audience response and the judges too have been extremely supportive of her performances.
Many argue that because she focuses on her performance, her singing is greatly affected.she is considered as the face of the woman of new emerging India.
Wild Card Round
Round 1 - (Tu Vishaal hai)
Mishra was selected as the last contestant to be called for the Wildcard Round. She performed an Original Bhajan by her Guru called "Tu Vishaal Hai". Mini Mathur commented on Ankita's ability to shock people with her appearance and song selection with her chameleon like nature going from "Ankit" to "Ankita" to "Ankiteshvari" in a jiff. Alisha Chinai said that she's convinced that Mishra really meant business when she said earlier that she wanted to leave her mark on the show, because not only had she managed to shock people, she went out of her comfort zone and still sang beautifully. Javed Akhtar compared her shifting appearances to the characters of twin sisters Sita and Gita from the Bollywood movie "Sita Gita", and complimented her for singing beautifully and having a voice that had the right amount of vulnerability and modesty that enhances the rendering of a Bhajan. Udit Narayan said that it was obvious that she had worked very hard and if she continues like this, she will go far, to which Akhtar said that he didn't want Mishra to go far but to stay right in front of them performing brilliantly.
she was selected to top 4 who to perform in next wild card round👏👏
Round 2 - (Kaisi Paheli Zindagani)
Mishra was one of four contestants selected by the public and brought into the 2nd Wilcard Round. She sang "Kaisi Paheli Zindagani". At this point, Anu Malek was also back from an ailment-related absence, and joining the judging panel once again. Mishra chose to stand still this time, choosing to emote the song with her eyes, which were appropriately enhanced with make-up. Alisha Chinai commented that Ankita was fabulous in creating the right mood of the song, and that she had delivered a mindblower. Udit Narayan commented that singing and emoting that well at the same time is very difficult and Mishra has delivered flawlessly in both areas for the second consecutive time. Anu Malik said that this was one of Mishra's majorly finest performances ever and that as far as he was concerned, the public should pick her there and then. Javed Akhtar said that he wasn't thinking about Mishra, but about who the second contestant will be from the other 3 to make it to the Finals as Mishra was already in the finals as far as he was concerned. her fellow contest amit got thru wild card wit da max no of votes by janta nd she was da 2nd one who got da golden opportunity to get into da gala & she was selected by judges👏👏
