Melodies from Jyotirmayee Nayak, the Indian Idol 16 winner.
Key Points
- Jyotirmayee Nayak, from Odisha, was crowned the winner of Indian Idol 16.
- Her participation in the popular reality singing show was initially unplanned.
- Nayak’s fiancé Ashutosh Samal has a list of favourite songs sung in her voice.
Indian Idol 16 Winner Jyotirmayee Nayak certainly deserves her big win.
And to think, she hadn’t even planned on participating in the hugely popular reality singing show.
The Odisha-born youngster sings like a dream.
So well, in fact, that her fiancé — Jyotirmayee got engaged to Ashutosh Samal a month before the Indian Idol finale — has his list of favourites in her voice.
Jyotirmayee sings one of them here, just for Rediff. Can you guess which song it is?
Yes, folks, that’s Asha Bhosle’s evergreen song, Khatouba, from the 1980 film Alibaba Aur 40 Chor, and it was picturised on Zeenat Aman.
Is Jyotirmayee a Zeenat fan? Because the next song she chooses to sing is from ZA’s other hit, Satyam Shivam Sundaram.
Congratulations, Jyotirmayee! You sure deserve it!
