“I still cannot believe that I have become the Indian Idol,” smiling Sourabhee said.

The north-east “rock star” won the coveted prize of a music contract of Rs10 million with Sony TV and a SUV from Tata.

The result was based on public voting.

Sourabhee has no professional training in music. Both her parents are government employees.

Bollywood stars John Abraham, Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh were also on the stage as part of the grand finale that was marked with songs and anecdotes.

“Every time I performed on stage, I have been nervous. But this time, I am very excited and eagerly waiting for the finale,” says Torsha. “I have worked hard to reach where I am. There were times when I was about to get eliminated but got saved everytime. Maybe it was my positive thinking that got me through.”

The judges love Sourabhee. Is she insecure? “All of us are winners because we have reached the finals,” she says, taking a diplomatic stand. “Sourabhee is the judges’ favourite because she has the complete package. She is a rock star. But this doesn’t make me insecure. The judges have their own opinion but it’s the audience who will vote for the winner,” she says.

Did she expect to make it in the top three? “I had a gut feeling that I would make it to the top,” she says. “I also expected Rajeep and Sourabhee in the finale. Kapil worked really hard to reach the finals and I am very happy for him.”

Torsha’s best compliments came from Sonu Nigam and Javed Akhtar. “Sonuji said that I am a complete singer and with little more riyaz [practice], I can polish my singing and can get into playback singing. And Javedji called me a Bengal tigress,” she adds.

Whether she wins or not, Torsha loved the experience. “My personality has changed after coming on this show,” she says. “I got to meet many people from the industry, which would have not been possible without this show. I have made many friends; Mohit is my best friend. People recognise me and ask me for autographs. All this makes me feel good. I have got a very good response from West Bengal. I even met Emon [Indian Idol participant] who requested the audience to vote for me [smiles).”

What after Indian Idol? “Entering the Hindi film industry has always been my dream,” she says. “I wanted to explore it with my music and playback singing. Whether I win or not doesn’t matter because I want to shift base to Mumbai. If I win, I will invest most of the money in my dad’s hospital and rest for myself,” she signs off.

Did she expect to be among the top three? “I was surprised when I was selected because all the trained singers were rejected,” she answers. “Once I started performing, I got confidence and that helped me to reach the top 10. After that, I wanted to be in the top three. Now I am nervous because I want to win the title.”

That may not be very tough because, as Sourabhee admits, she’s the judges’ favourite. They even nicknamed her the Indian Shakira. “They like my performances and I’m consistent. But the results are based on votes so they can be unpredictable,” she says.

Her most memorable moment was the time when Sonam Kapoor gifted her a costume from Delhi 6 when the actress came on the show. Another favourite moment was when Sonali Bendre learnt dance steps from Sourabhee.

But her favourite judge isn’t Bendre; it is Anu Malik. “He would scold me for a bad performance and that’s why I would work hard and better my next performance,” she explains.

Sourabhee’s popularity can be seen when she visited her hometown. “People from all communities lined the streets to get a glimpse of me,” she says. “I don’t think any politician would have got such a welcome [smiles].”

But she’s realistic, and knows that she faces stiff competition from the other finalists. “I knew Kapil would be in the finals. Torsha has a unique voice, so she is a tough competitor too,” she says.

Whether she wins or not, Sourabhee has enjoyed the experience. “I always underestimated myself so I worked hard. After I started getting compliments and reached the top 10, I felt I should work harder to reach the top three. Now I have become greedy. I want to win the title.”

Sourabhee is very thrilled that her parents, sister and the King of Tripura will be there to support her on D-Day. “If I don’t win, it will be an insult in front of the king,” she says.

“I didn’t expect to reach this far,” he says. “I had gone for the audition hoping to get selected. Now, my confidence has grown. It’s a dream come true to be the finalist of India Idol 4. I am the luckiest amongst the boys, as I’ve reached the finale.”

This is the first time that girls have made it to the Indian Idol finals. Asked if there was any bias from the judges, he replies, “Not at all. Rather, I would thank the audience and the judges for supporting us. This is the first time girls are in the top three. Everyone wants a girl to become an idol this time. Both of them are good but I can give them competition [smiles]. But what’s important is that our friendship remains intact.”

Kapil, however, did not expect the girls to make it to the finals. Instead, he expected Sourabhee Debbarma and Rajeep Chaterjee to join him in the finals. “Rajeep is a very good singer. He lost out because of less votes,” he explains.

“I am very happy that Torsha and I are sharing the stage at the finale. She has surprised everyone,” he adds.

The best compliment he received was from judges Anu Malik and Kailesh Kher for a patriotic song. “Anuji said I sang the song with ease while Kailashji said the song touched his heart and soul,” Kapil smiles.

Taking about the judges he says, “Javed Akhtar would scold me for my bad diction and Anuji would scold for not singing well. But backstage, he was very friendly with everyone. All the judges were very supportive and we learnt a lot from them. My favourite judge is Anuji because he supported me right from the beginning.”

Asked why the audience should vote for him and he says, “My voice is good and one can sense the truth from my words. The feelings with which I sing songs are genuine. So I think audience should vote for me,” he said.

Kapil is excited that his parents and some army friends will come for the finale to support him. What will he do with the prize money should he win? “I will give a part of it to my parents, to an NGO and keep the rest for myself,” he replies.
