About Abhilasha Chellam:
Abhilasha was the first runner up of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Singing Superstar 2010. She is the girl next door, who is sweet and easily approachable. She had shown signs of becoming a playback singer very early in her age. Quiet friendly and bubbly, she becomes everybody's darling on sets.

However this young singer is no stranger to the big stage. She was the runner up of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Marathi and is very comfortable with pushing the limits of her vocal abilities and trying out newer types of songs.

“Though there is some amount of nervousness before every performance, I always make sure that I am having fun with the song and the audience every time!” says Abhilasha.

Having made her way through two reality shows and facing different expectations & ideas, she feels that her mindset has changed. She now knows what to expect and has become more focused.

Abhilasha's performances 'Tu Chanda Main Chandni', 'Dance Pe Chance' and 'Desi Girl' at the Grand Finale is still remembered by millions. After her successful stint in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Singing Superstar she has travelled the world on account of various stage shows.
