She mesmerised the audience with her singing, received compliments from legendary singers for her unique voice, and finally took home the Indian Idol season 15 trophy, along with the prize money of Rs 25 lakh and a four-wheeler. While Manasi Ghosh was crowned the winner after defeating Shubhojit Chakraborty and Sneha Shankar in the finale, what made the journey more memorable for the contestant was the offer to sing a Lalit Pandit composition for the film Manu Kya Karega, alongside singer Shaan.

“I got to learn so much from him and this experience. The song was fire, I enjoyed every bit of playback singing. When it was first offered to me, I thought it would take some weeks or a few days, but the very next day I recorded the song. I didn’t get time to think,” shares Ghosh.
