Mauli Dave

Mauli Dave (Gujarati: મૌલી દવે, born 3 June 1987) was a finalist on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007 and also recently crowned Miss Teen India Texas 2007.[1] Dave is also a professional dancer who was a finalist in Sony Entertainment Television's "Boogie Woogie Chalo America" in 2003.[1] She has also appeared in one episode of the Zee TV serial, Parrivaar, performing as a belly dancer. Her towering personality of over six feet height gives her the additional advantage of the screen presence no wonder the famed music director Bappi Lahiri called her "Indian Shakira".

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007

Mauli Dave had auditioned through the auditions held in the United States. During this time she was undergoing rigorous musical training under Chandra Courtney. There, she was judged by Bappi Lahiri who subsequently brought her on the show. Her first appearance in the show was on 5 May when she gave a sensational rendition of Mayya Mayya from the 2007 film, Guru. Mauli Dave's first performance had received great reception from both the mentors and the audience. Her performance increased the viewership of the show fivefold. Because of this performance, she was invited to be in Bappi Lahiri's "Josh" gharana while another contestant, Sumana Ganguly, who had contested to be received into the Lahiri's gharana as well, was sent to the "Eklavya" gharana. Till date, she has twice been the top contestant of the show on 22 July and 3 August. She was eliminated from the show among the top 7.
