Ritu also participated in Indian Idol 2. She made it to the top 28. She's wellknown as the 'pink' girl and for her drama with Sonu Nigam during the auditions and theater rounds.
Ritu's piano round song in II2 was a 'controversial' pick: 'I wanna make love to you' from the film Aitraaz. SHe sang it really well but did not receive enough votes from the junta. Farah Khan said her song choice was the reason she didn't make it to the gala round. Maybe. Himani also sang the same song on SRGMP.
Didn't like Ritu's 'Beedi' performance much in the first episode. But I think she has the potential to do better. She has range and a pretty good voice. I think she's one contestant to look out for. But like the judges (they are nothing in front of Javed Saab, Shankar and Kay Kay) said, Ritu needs to improve her performance. She also needs to look less scared on stage. Other than that, I think Ritu has the singing talent, which in my opinion, should be the most important criteria. Looks and style can be worked on but there's no substitute for good singing talent.
