Antara Mitra (Bengali : অন্তরা মিত্র, born 10 July, in West Bengal, India) is a vocalist and Bollywood Playback singer who was a contestant in Sony Entertainment Television's reality show ''Indian Idol 2'' in 2006. == Biography== Antara Mitra is from Maslandapur, a small town in West Bengal, near Calcutta, India. She exhibited a keen early interest in music, and her father inspired her. She was accepted as a contestant at age 18 on a national TV show and competed admirably as a finalist in both that show and a successive similar show (Junoon). At one time she considered studying medicine, but abandoned the idea in favour of pursuing a professional singing career. Mitra literally grew up with music: her father is a music teacher. Since the age of three, Antara would sing along with other children who came to her home to learn from her father. When Antara was eliminated from the contest, well-known music director Anu Malik offered her playback singing work, but Antara returned to her home town and soon afterward (April 2006) she relocated to Mumbai to pursue a vocal-performance-for-film soundtrack career. She also participated as part of the Bollywood team of vocalist contestants in another popular Indian TV reality show, the Junoon (TV series) "Kuchh Kar Dikhaane Ka" where again she was not top winner, however she considers both shows learning and career-development experiences, and expressed gratitude to the TV audience, producers and judges of both contests for allowing her opportunities to perform for the broadcast audience and judges while competing.〔Aspi ("How Antara Mitra went from Indian Idol to Rajneeti" ), ''India Times'', 13 June 2010, accessed 13 June 2011.〕 She sings in multiple languages: Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, and English and is active in the Bollywood film soundtrack music industry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antara Mitra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
