Shubha Vedula,17,the only Indian girl in the history of American Idol to have reached the top 20 slot,is looking for a stint in Bollywood.

I would love to go to Bollywood if the opportunity came, Shubha told PTI in an interview,weeks after she lost out in the last 20 of the prestigious American Idol contest,where her singing was watched by millions of people in US.

Shubha,who says she is ready to go to India if an opportunity came,lost out following her performance of Lady Gagas Born This Way in the last-20 round.

You are 17,you have unbelievable potential, a judge told Shubha,who will graduate this year as valedictorian at Sacred Heart Academy.

American Idol has opened a lot of doors for me, Shubha said. Her father Ramesh from Andhra Pradesh and mother Vandana from Lucknow,are both physicians.
