She
was the final chance for Anu Malik's prophecy
to come true on Indian Idol II! Antara
Mitra's elimination from Idol
not only put an end to her own deam run,
but it also laid to rest Malik's hope of
a girl Idol this time round. But the lady
from an obscure village in the outskirts
of West Bengal, hasn't given up hope, she'll
soon be in Mumbai to pursue her career in
music.

Mitra: Mumbai bound!

Ananya Sengupta spoke to Antara,
who's now in her hometown, relaxing and
taking time out to gather her energies to
take on the fast life of Mumbai after she
returns.
How do you feel
now that you are back in your usual lifestyle?
I am missing all those things that I would
previously be embarassed about on Indian
Idol. Like when the camera followed
us around! I miss all the attention, really!
Did you feel let
down when you were voted out?
The worst thing was that I let a lot of
people down. Specially, Anuji! He had said
that a girl will be the Indian Idol this
time! And at that point of time, I was the
only girl around!
So who do you
think will be the Idol this time?
Nothing can be said! I am really at a loss
of words! In the last version, there was
still some hope, but this time...really
all the good singers have been voted out!
Now, I fear for Karunya!

How was the response
back home?
It was great! The media has been great to
me and not only my parents but my neighbours
are proud of me as well!
Are you doing
any stage shows now?
No, I am not doing anything at the moment
because I don't know where my contract with
Sony stands. I am coming down to Mumbai
and then I'll decide.
Are you in touch
with any of your fellow contestants?
I am in touch with most of them. Karu (Karunya)
calls too. Monali calls too, but now she's
busy jetsetting between Kolkata and Mumbai!
What happened
to the offer made to you by Anu Malik?
It's still to happen. I have to wait for
as good banner and a really great song!
