<strong>A page from the personal diary of <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/love-air-monali-and-chang>Monali Thakur</a></strong> It is a good exercise for everyone to look back at their careers. I started very early as a child artist in a Bengali soap. I played the lead role of Indu in the serial <em>Aalokito Ek Indu</em>.

This is one shocker of an elimination! Monali Thakur, who impressed the judges with her powerful rendition of popular numbers, left the stage amidst an atmoshere of gloom as she was voted out of the <em>Indian Idol</em> race. Ironically her last song at the galas was <em>Kabie Alvida Na Kehna</em>! "I don't think I sang that bad. I strongly believe I had the potential to move ahead," says Monali Thakur in a state of shock.
