Antara Mitra (born 10 July 1987) is an Indian playback singer in Bollywood.
Antara was impressed by her aunt who regularly sang on All India Radio broadcasts. In her early childhood, Antara also learned several traditional Bengali folk songs. [3] She was accepted as a contestant at age 18 on a national TV show and in a successive similar show Junoon . At one time she considered studying medicine, but abandoned the idea in favour of pursuing a professional singing career. [4] [3]
Mitra participated in the Indian Idol season 2, getting eliminated after reaching the top 5. [5] [3] She then participated as part of the Bollywood team of vocalist contestants in another Indian TV reality show, Junoon – Kuchh Kar Dikhaane Ka . [5]
Antara Mitra’s soulful track “Kishori,” celebrated for its charm and melodic beauty, is now being creatively paired with the iconic Amul girl doodle—a symbol of nostalgia, wit, and timeless appeal. Much like the spirit of “Kishori,” the Amul Girl represents an enduring presence in Indian popular culture. [6]
Besides singing in Hindi, Mitra has also sung in Bengali - her native language. She also has sung in multiple regional languages: Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Hariyanvi, Kannada, Urdu and English and is active in the Bollywood film soundtrack music industry. [4]
In an interview to the Times of India in 2010, Mitra thanked and expressed her gratitude to Music Director Pritam, as he was the first to show faith in her skills, and in that first decade, Pritam had composed nearly every film song in which her vocals were featured. Mitra received positive reviews for her song "Bheegi Si Bhaagi Si", a duet with Mohit Chauhan from the Hindi film Rajneeti . [5]
As of 2026, she is signed to the music label TalentWala. [7] [8]
