STAR OF THE MONTH
ANTARA
MITRA
The superhit ‘Gerua’ number
has added a new splash of
colour to her playbacking CV
and she waltzed straight into
the bracket of A-listers overnight.
Offering her voice to the top-league
actress Kajol for the blockbuster
movie Dilwale was a double bonanza
for her this last Christmas. But 28-yearold
singer Antara Mitra has her feet firmly grounded
to maintain that winning momentum. Hailing
from the modest small-town of Maslandapur in
West Bengal, chalking out a career in music was
understandably no cakewalk. But little Antara
had her heart in the right place as a child and she
pursued her craft quite diligently following her
father Debabrata Mitra’s taalim, who was her first
musical guru. She narrates her humble beginning,
musical education at home, her hitherto journey,
future plans and many more to Score magazine.
