Indian Idol 2, India's biggest talent hunt on the telly, is rolling into its final episodes.
With the whole country rooting for the two young boys-Karunya from Hyderabad and Sandeep from Bikaner, the duo knows that their future is in the hands of the audience.

Confident of his talent, he eagerly awaits support from his fans. "This is my last chance to win and I need your blessings and support, Ehe admits.
An Abhishek Bachchan lookalike, Karunya's stunning performance has made the Indian Idol stage come alive like never before. He is the only South Indian to have come so far in this contest.
TV viewers across the country have fallen in love with his melodious voice and have followed closely the changes in his appearance with the progress of the show. At the first step itself despite a bad throat the young lad had managed to rustle up viewer votes, indicating that he had a strong and loyal fan following!
Karunya says, "I am very confident, but that is not enough. I also need public support. I gave up my engineering degree and left Hyderabad only to become the Indian Idol and not to be a mere runner-up.
"Yet if I don't win the title, that won't spell the end of it all to me. Maybe God has bigger plans for me.Ebr>
The fear of elimination in the finals has peaked his effort levels. "I am really clueless about viewer support. The other contestant might get a lot of votes from his place. But it is better I focus on my singing.Ebr>
Karunya is proud of his genes. "I am the grandson of renowned vocalist NC Krishnacharyulu and my first guru was my aunt Shashikala, a Nandi awardee.EHe requests his fans to vote for the best. "If you think my voice is good and I genuinely deserve it, vote for me.Ebr>
Greatly inspired by Telugu superstar Nagarjuna, Karunya even visited him on Thursday. He went on to sing EI>Eeto velli poyindi.....Efrom Nag's film Ninne Pelladuta for the audience followed by EI>Koi jaane koi naa jaane...Ebr>
He also met megastar Chiranjeevi, who assured him of full support. Karunya's been singing since he was three and has come so far with the support of his parents. His mother Janaki smiles, EI am very happy for my son. He was dreaming of this recognition. He is capable of being the Indian Idol. Please vote for him.Ebr>
His sister, Deevena, a class X student, is very excited and is looking forward to his win, "I will throw a party to my friends if my brother wins. He is the best.Ebr>
His father Madhu NC says,"Publicity is not new to us. His name figured in many newspapers at the age of five. But we never dreamt of publicity at the national level.Ebr>
"I hope he wins. Winning is not important to us. His voice should be heard by millions. For this thanks to Indian Idol 2,Ehe added.
