Indian Idol 15’ winner Manasi Ghosh looks for collaboration with A.R. Rahman and Pritam

Following her Indian Idol 15 win, Manasi Ghosh’s gaze is firmly set on the future. She looks for collaboration with A.R. Rahman and Pritam. Also wishes to sing for Vishal Dadlani
Badshah, Sonu Nigam and Arijit Singh.

The Kolkata based
21-year-old singer is truly blessed with unique voice.

Manasi now wants to create all forms of music – Originals, playback and sing in films, and to create her own songs. That’s where she is heading.

Sjr was overwhelmed when her name was announced as the winner of Indian Idol 15. She recalled that she went completely blank.
It was eventually happening, and she didn’t know how to react. But just felt grateful.
Her family, watching from the sidelines, was jubilant and were extremely happy and emotional in the best way. She feels good knowing they’re proud of her.
But what set Manasi apart in a fiercely competitive season was not just her vocal prowess, but the pivotal moments that defined her run. Her performance of “Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main”really transformed things for her. she says. Lalit [Pandit] was the guest judge that day, and after her performance, he offered her a song. The next day, she recorded a duet with Shaan for a film called “Mannu Kya Karega.”
Another standout was her bold take on Sheila Ki Jawani. “That one got so much love. Vishal [Dadlani] even asked if she would perform it with him and Shekhar [Ravjiani] on stage.
Manasi’s musical identity is deeply rooted in her Bengali upbringing. Like a typical Bengali family, she started learning music at the age of two..From the beginning, music was always the path.

While nerves did surface amidst the show, she credits her team for keeping her grounded. “Self-doubt and nervousness happened, yes. But her team was very supportive and she was able to overcome it.
Her confidence also got a boost from the encouraging words of the show’s judges. Shreya Ghoshal once said she (Manasi) has a very unique voice — like something she’s never heard before. And Badshah told her to stay just the way she is and that we’ll do a song together someday. Those words meant a lot for her.
