Monali Thakur comes from a musical family as her father is a Bengali singer and actor Shakti Thakur and her sister Mehuli Thakur Goswami is also a professional playback singer.
The bright and chirpy girl from Kolkata, who impressed everyone with his powerful voice and energetic performances in Indian Idol 2 has proven that talent show not only overnight celebrities. They are of a "constant struggle to find a foothold" in the big, bad Bollywood, says Monali Thakur now best known as the voice of Zara Zara touch me Abbas Mustan's Race.
The fact that I was knocked out early on almost developed as a blessing for me because I fought for two years with support from my family and friends.
