For someone who's on TV for mere seconds each week,
Shyamali Malakar has made a large impression with searchers. Usually spotted in the audience of "
American Idol" rooting heartily for her brother
Sanjaya, Ms. Malakar's lovely looks have enchanted viewers.
Although she tried out for the singing competition and didn't make the cut, she's become a success in Buzz without having to even make a sound. Searches on "
shyamali malakar" spike each Tuesday after the Idol broadcast and are up 211% this week alone. Queries for "
shyamali malakar pics" and "
shyamali malakar hooters pics" are also making an impression in Buzz.
For those who haven't taken the time to properly introduce themselves to Shyamali, searches on "
sanjaya sister" (+304%), "
sanjaya's sister pics" (+252%), and "
sanjaya malakar sister" (+84%) are sufficing. While she's not pulling down the same number of searches as her oft-derided bro, rarely has someone done so little to earn this much interest. The curvaceous cutie notches about 1/10th of the searches of Sanjaya, but he might want to consider making her an integral part of his post-Idol plan for success.
