Ankita Bhattacharya and Subhadeep Das Chowdhury are two of Bengal's brightest rising talents, both having made their mark on the iconic singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. Ankita captured hearts as the celebrated winner of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Bangla 2019 — clinching the trophy at just 16 years old. Hailing from Dankuni, West Bengal, she has built a reputation for her versatile voice across both classical and contemporary tracks, lending her vocals to notable projects like the female version of the Projapati title track, and further showcasing her talent on stages like Indian Idol.
Subhadeep Das Chowdhury, hailing from Kolkata, first impressed audiences and celebrated judges like Shankar Mahadevan on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa before going on to become a highly praised finalist and runner-up on Indian Idol. He has since carved out a successful career in playback singing, lending his voice to viral hits including "Ishq Jalakar - Karvaan" from the film Dhurandhar.
