Hi Folks,

Does anyone know about Ronkini Gupta? She won a Saregamapa contest perhaps last year. Also a guy called Hritikesh who won the same competition in the boys. Think this was held in Dubai.

Thanks,

Created

No Asha, Bela was the winner in the first megafinals where the runners up were Sudeshna Ganguly and Sanjeevini Belande.Mohammed Vakil won the male section.

Prajakta won a later megafinal.

Good to know Bela is doing well but has she sung for any movies???

Hrishikesh Ranade was in the US, around July 4th, as an invited guest, at one of the Indian conventions in Atlanta. I met him, and heard him, and his fiance,sing.He was trying to promote a CD of his new songs.

Both Prajakta & Hriskesh Ranade are excellent singers.
Even Ronkini Gupta.
Wish them all the best

Hrishikesh and Bela Shende were invited to Atlanta for a convention. They were a big hit. Audience liked tham more than another famous singer (Suresh Wadkar) who was invited. I met them personally. Very sweet people.

Hrishikesh and Prajakta Joshi are married and give lots of performances in Pune. Bela Shende has started singing in Hindi movies now. Paheli being one of them.
