I am vry happy for Monali...bcause i was the 1st person who wrote a topic in IF named 'Our Monali in Race' ....for those who does not know Antara Mitra other fellow contestant of Monali from II2 has sung many numbers in bollywood....her remarkable jobs including 'Yeh Ishq Hai (Remix version)..from Jab We Met,'Kuke kuke koyelia....from Life Partner & Title song of the 'All the Best'...I am happy for both as i  voted no of votes for them....and specially i wannna thank to Pritam for giving them chance in bollywood. 

Wow Monali has done amazingly well - usually reality show contestants fizzle out, which is a shame... It just goes to show how much of a struggle showbiz really is! The only recent reality show contestants to have made it big are Toshi-Sharib and Raja Hassan - I think they rode on the 'sufi' wave thanks to their unique voices. Otherwise awesome singers who have more mainstream voices (like Abhijeet, Rajdeep and Amit Paul) are finding it hard to get the chance they deserve...

thats really gud  😊

Oh my god ... Khudaya Khair is one of my favorite songs! I had no idea that it was Monali Thakur who sang that song. I always wondered, though. She has definitely made a name for herself in the industry.

I think its a matter of not just talent, but also luck. If you notice, as a trend in Indian reality shows, the winner is usually the loser, and the runner-ups make it big. Blame it on the incorrect public voting or the producer's contract, but its a trend easily observed across the board. Not all those who win will make it big and not all those who lose will disappear out of the industry. Monali Thakur is a perfect example, I think. I wish her the best of luck in all her future career advancements.

Also, I think we need to thank the music directors who give these newcomers a chance, and I hope this encourages other MDs to try out newer voices and bring due recognition to these singers.

Thanks for the thread, Sheya's fan! :)

She is undoubtedly a very good singer, but her voice is more inclined to higher pitched/ fast paced songs. But I have liked her the songs that she has sung, and hopefully she keeps rocking!

Did you guys know that Monali is going out with Chang? There's an interview with Chang here on I-F and he says himself he dating Monali.

Yup even I read it.
And talk about being successful, Chang has done something which no other Idol contestant could do. His movie 'Badmaash Company' alongside Shahid Kapoor and Anushka Sharma is going to release next week and that too under Yashraj banner. He is looking good in the trailers. Lets see how he acts.

Talking about Monali. Yes she has been successful when it comes to Bollywood songs. But in my view the true successful contestant has been Abhijeet Sawant. I loved his two private albums. Heard 'Junoon' live in Kolkata and found him amazing.

Wow..is it true? monali sang 'jara jara touch me?" I thought it was Kalyani Nair??? Edited by vallanki - 13 years ago
