Mitra
is
enthusiasm
personified
about

(Musafir,

including
my
latest
tracks
from
Apna

So

so
it'll

With
a
combination
of
such
diverse
artistes,
the
show
is
bound
to
be
a
lot
spicier," raves
Koena.
So is she not anxious about sharing stage with Grammy winner Nelly Furtado? "I'm pretty used to shows, especially solo shows so I'm not nervous. Infact I am excited and looking forward to 31st December. The Grand Finale will be a medley of songs. It's a live show and an international platform. It's an opportunity to reach out to international audience," she adds.
Nelly Furtado's debut album 'Whoa Nelly' was released in 2000 and spawned the hit single 'I'm Like A Bird'. Her songs 'Promiscuous' and 'Maneater' from her new album 'Loose' are hot favourites amongst others.
So don't miss out 'Nokia New Year's Eve' at Andheri Sports Complex in Mumbai.
On the work front, she has two films with Sanjay Gupta and Subhash Ghai in her kitty. Right now, the Bengali damsel is kicked about her role in Ananth Mahadevan's Anamika- The Untold Story. "It's a romantic thriller loaded with suspense. It's based on three characters (Dino Moreo, Minissha Lamba and herself) and Ananth has worked really hard in shaping our respective characters. It's a serious role minus singing and dancing. The look of the film is spectacular since we've shot in Bikaner and Gajner," says Koena who plays Dino's childhood sweetheart in the film.
