Stuck on two in the south east corner. Help with this one may push me along.

American musical female leads first person who's indigenous to India (7)

A***I*I

“Adivasi” are the original people of India which is in Collins but it doesn’t quite fit your letters.

A for American, DIVA for musical female and I for first person fit. Not sure about the S.

Actually it’s ”musical female leads” that gives DIVAS.

Thanks, Jono. That's a big help - I shall try Wiki to track the buggers down!

I'm a certfiable idiot, Jono. I didn't proof-read my original post:

The letters are actually A***A*I

...and the final solution:

Wrap up one's bung (5)

S*I*E I have SHIVE as a bung, but, if so, the wordplay doesn't totally satisfy me. Any thoughts?

Wrap up = Sh! (be quiet), one's = I've (one has)

Thanks, geting. That was my thinking and your "one has" explains matters👍
