Shubha Vedula
Shubha is the only Indian girl to have participated in the American Idol (current season). She had to leave the show few weeks before following her performance of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.”
Now, she is all set to try her luck in bollywood, "I would love to (go to Bollywood) if the opportunity came," Shubha said in an interview, as reported by PTI.
"American Idol has opened a lot of doors for me. But I have worked very hard in studies. I am ready to go to college, but I also know that my passion lies in singing, so I am actually trying to decide which way I would be going. But it seems I am going towards singing," Shubha said.
According to Shubha singing has always been an integral part of her life and that is the reason why she participated in American Idol.
"I love touching others with my music and inspiring them to pursue their own dreams. After having watched the show for several years, I think that I could be a rewarding addition to the music industry as a girl who is able to understand the music of different cultures and genres," she said.
