'Indian Idol Has Changed My Life'

GLOBAL MOVIE MAGAZINE

MAY 2025

'Shreya (Ghoshal) ma’am said she hasn’t heard a voice like mine before, and added that even in the future, there won't be another voice like mine.’

Indian Idol 15 Winner Manasi Ghosh impressed not only with her considerable singing talents but also because of her ability to hold the floor with rare showmanship. Throughout her dream run on the show, Manasi was never afraid to innovate with her powerful vocals through musical variations that departed from the original song. The young talent displays the same can-do attitude in an interview. “I will be going for a UK tour and performing live. Badshah sir said that we will be doing a song and I am currently working on a Bengali single that will be released in a few days.”

Congratulations. Mid-way through the competition, I had a gut feeling you would win Indian Idol 15. Did you have an intuition too?

Thank you for your wishes. From the very first day, all I wanted was to be a finalist. I did not have any intuition about emerging the winner. By God's grace and the love of the viewers, I won the trophy. I'm very grateful.

Considering your strong preference for non-vegetarian food, what was the celebratory meal you had on winning the trophy?

I ate my mummy ke haath ka maach-bhaat (fish and rice made by my mother).

What were the other celebrations like?

Alia Bhatt calls saree India's little black dress; says she feels most comfortable and herself in the traditional drape

In an interview, Alia Bhatt called sarees the Indian version of the little black dress, highlighting their comfort and versatility, and her love for it. Alia Bhatt, like every other Indian, is obsessed with sarees.

That is the rage of sarees in India. In a recent interview with Vogue, Alia highlighted this fact and characterised the traditional Indian saree as a versatile garment comparable to the western 'little black dress (LBD)' due to its comfort and adaptability. Let's find out what she said.
