After months of captivating performances and musical brilliance, Indian Idol Season 15 has finally crowned its winner — Manasi Ghosh from Kolkata. The 24-year-old singer not only lifted the coveted trophy but also took home a cash prize of ₹25 lakh and a brand-new car, marking the beginning of what promises to be a successful musical career.
The grand finale of the popular singing reality show was a spectacular event, with three phenomenal finalists — Manasi Ghosh, Subhajit Chakraborty, and Sneha Shankar — competing for the top title. All three finalists impressed the judges and audiences alike with their exceptional vocal skills and commanding stage presence. However, it was Manasi’s soulful performances that left a lasting impression, ultimately winning her the title and the love of millions.
The show was judged by music industry stalwarts Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal Dadlani, and Badshah, who praised Manasi’s consistency and passion throughout the season. Hosted by the ever-energetic Aditya Narayan, the finale was packed with emotional moments, musical nostalgia, and grand celebrations.
First runner-up Subhajit Chakraborty and second runner-up Sneha Shankar also delivered memorable performances. Sneha, just 19 years old, won ₹5 lakh in prize money and caught the attention of the industry even before the finale — securing a recording contract from T-Series MD Bhushan Kumar.
Since its premiere in October 2024, Indian Idol 15 has been a vibrant blend of talent, inspiring journeys, and electrifying music. Over five months, it offered aspiring singers a national platform to shine, with Manasi Ghosh emerging as the season’s brightest star. Her journey on the show was nothing short of magical — a testament to her hard work, versatility, and heartfelt connection with the audience.
