The much-awaited launch of Star Singer 10 has already left a lasting impact, with each contestant making their own unique mark on the stage. One such standout performance came from Fathima Ishtik , a talented singer from Malappuram, who not only impressed the judges with her music but also captured the audience's attention for something truly distinctive — her captivating rendition of Kathakali Sangeetham.
Fathima, who began her musical journey learning Kathakali Sangeetham — the music that accompanies the ancient Kathakali dance-drama of Kerala — faced her share of challenges. She had faced some backlash on social media for her videos. However, she remained undeterred and continued to pursue her passion for traditional music.
In the grand launch episode of Star Singer 10, Fathima’s performance of a Kathakali Patham, a classical music piece from the Kathakali tradition, left the judges and the audience in awe. As per the request of the host, Mithun, Fathima took the stage and presented her art with such grace and passion that it brought the entire team to their feet, giving her a standing ovation.
"Hijab-clad Fathima is here, singing Kathakali Sangeetham, the traditional temple art of Kerala. This is Kerala, this is our secularism," said Mithun.
Although Fathima’s performance earned her admiration, she was placed on the waiting list by judge Vidhu Prathap , ultimately not making it into the final list of 18 contestants for Star Singer 10. Nevertheless, her extraordinary performance and the emotional power of her music left an indelible mark on viewers and judges alike, proving that talent knows no boundaries.
Star Singer 10 has set a high bar with its diverse and talented contestants, and the grand launch has already shown the immense potential of this season. With 18 contestants selected to compete for the coveted title, the journey ahead promises to be full of surprises, challenges, and inspiring performances from some of the most talented voices.
