The nation continues to shock once again with its decision to eliminate one more finalist in final rounds of Indian Idol 2. This time around the needle went to the only female finalist Antara Mitra. She was voted out of the show. The highly talented and judges' hot favourite Antara left the show with tears in eyes. Now the show will move on next week with Top 4 finalists - Amey, Karunya, Sandeep and Anuj.
As per all the judges she has the perfect playback singing voice and talent to make mark in the world of singing but the nation wants something else. At least one thing is clear from the results so far that the nation is anti-female. Judges felt that Anuj and Sandeep should have been voted out since they had not performed well. But when it was announced that they were safe, the judges were shocked to hear the result.
Farah was of the view that Antara's makeover had brought her positive changes. "It is true that I know regret our decision of getting back Anuj...he hasn't shown the kind of talent that we expected out of him...we should have considered better options," regretful Sonu expressed.
Anu Malik could not believe that his hot favourite Antara was voted out of the program. He went up on the stage and promised her to give songs in films. Antara, who was shattered with being voted out, said that she had learnt a lot on this platform. "This stage has given me so much, glamour, recognition. I am upset about being voted out but I am quite content with the Indian Idol stage! Though out of Indian Idol...I am not going back to my village, I am going to stick on here in Mumbai and make my name in the music industry," tearful yet confident Antara said.
Your vote does matter a lot and is very precious. So cast it for the one who deserves it. Think positively before you make a decision. Watch Indian Idol Series 2 on Sony Entertainment channel on Mondays and Tuesdays at 9.00 p.m.
