An article on himani-must read it-

Make-up makes me feel like someone else...

Says Himani Kapoor of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa about her makeover

Bagging a music contract at the age of 17 comes as no surprise when you meet Himani. For here is one contestant you take an immediate liking to, besides being instantly awed by the inherent talent that flows naturally. In fact, her rendition of the Rahat Fateh Ali Khan classic ' Jiya dhadak dhadak' got actress Pooja Bhatt to exclaim, "Only a Haryanvi could have the guts to select a song of the maestro. You are a superb singer. Stay the same forever and you will go a long way!"

Himani was part of the Fame Series in Sa Re Ga Ma and hence Challenge 2005 was a natural progression. She confesses , "I am a little nervous with my makeover though. Make-up makes me feel like someone else. My friends back home could not identify with my made-up image. That's why I got the tattoo done." The story behind the tattoo on her upper arm has become as famous as the design itself. It's a musical note symbolising what is closest to Himani's heart. She got it done to distinguish her self from other contestants when she is without the stage finery. The face behind the voice is making trying to reach out for recognition.

So immediate gratification came to this 12th standard student of Humanities from DAV Public School when Adesh Shrivastava presented her with an opportunity to playback in Kalpana Lajmi's next film 'Chingari'. "Can you believe it? I am singing for Sushmita Sen!" gushes the teenager. As bindaas and gutsy as most of her people, Himani is proud to hail from Haryana. Her best friends Akash and Shelly vouch for her daredevil attitude and have become loyal viewers of the competition post Himani's selection amongst the finalists. Says Shelly, "I have promised to take Himani out for as many chocolates as she can eat when she comes back with the title. And I just love her tattoo. I will get one done myself."

Himani's self-confessed flaw lies in being as sure of tomorrow as she was about the present day. This is much to her mother's consternation who cannot but hide her pride when speaking of her only daughter. "She is so bindaas that I am at times worried about her. I am sure she will win this competition."

it was a great article..thanx 4 sharing

SHE IS AWESOME SHE SINGS EFFORTLESSLY AND FLAWLESS TOO . I M IMPRESSED WITH HER PERSONALITY AND MORE OVER IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE SHE IS 17👏

i just love her!
and now even more......thanx for sharing!

Himani is great! She can sing any type of song flawlessly. I really hope she wins if not atleast she goes to top 3. She totally has the talent and charm to win this competition!

thanks 4 sharin.. it woz kool!

did you really think she could beat rahat fateh ali khan. Cmon the song is too good. Himani may have sung it flawlessly but she is no match for the original singer.

Holding on to the tunes is not enuff.

I'm not saying this just coz i don't support himani. Never liked her voice or the way she sings.

as for pooja bhatt... she shuld think before donating comments.
