Harshdeep left everyone spellbound with her matchless performance that got the maximum number of viewer votes. A graduate in Mass Communication, this 21-year-old playback singer had also won the MTV video GAGA contest 2001, at the young age of 14. She is also the voice behind the beautiful Sikh prayer "Ik Onkaar" in the blockbuster, 'Rang De Basanti'. Harshdeep talks to Rajul Hegde about her win. Who has been your inspiration? A R Rahman! He is my idol and has inspired me. Read the full interview here : http://inhome.rediff.com/movies/2008/sep/29winner.htm <http://inhome.rediff.com/movies/2008/sep/29winner.htm%20> -- regards.. Krish.. His Music ~ My Mother Tongue "If a music artiste wants to blossom into a full-pledged person, it's not enough if he knows only classical music; nor it's enough if he's well-versed only in ragas and techniques. Instead, he should be a knowledgeable person interested in life and philosophy. In his personal life there should be, at least in some corner of his heart, a tinge of lingering sorrow." -- ARR www.orkut.com/ AlbumList. aspx?uid= 7295035299513517 297 <http://www.orkut.com/AlbumList.aspx?uid=7295035299513517297>
