I am from Andheri (a Mumbai suburb) . I am 24.

My mom told be about the contest and asked me to register by sending an SMS.

There were thousands of contestants but I was confident. I sang Eh Ajnabi (from Mani Ratnam's Dil Se) and then Kal Ho Naa Ho.

I do stage shows with (Bollywood comedian) Johnny Lever's group, and also other groups. I have a younger sister, she is still studying. My dad is in the construction business, and my mom is a housewife.
