Punjabi Star Heads to Bollywood

Born and bred in Amritsar, Punjab, Sunanda Sharma’s charm has won over her hearts all around the world. She sat down with The Pioneer for a chat on her Bollywood debut and new track ‘Sandal’ Sunanda Sharma kick started her career with a Punjabi song, ‘Billi Akh’ in March 2016, which gathered the much deserved appreciation from the audience. This singer and model, went on to create a buzz with her songs ‘Patake’and ‘Jaani Tera Naa’ which resonated amongst the youth and got everybody tapping their feet not only in Mumbai, Ranchi and Delhi in India, but her voice has been creating magic across the globe through her successful shows in Canada, Australia, Europe, New Zealand, England, Dubai and so on. Sharma also has the accolades of being invited to the Dolce and Gabbana show in Milano, and at the store launch of Louis Vuitton, Delhi.

Such talent is not hidden from Bollywood, and Sharma spread her wings into the glamour industry with the track ‘Tere Naal Nachna’ in July, 2018 along with Badshah, acclaiming more than 160 million hits on Youtube. Talent and determination bring out the pearls from the deepest of the seas, and Sharma has proved this with her latest chartbuster song ‘Poster Lagwado’ for the movie, Luka Chuppi. The singing industry is in awe of this fresh voice and she is going to keep the audience on their toes with her soon to be launched new track ‘Sandal’ which like all her other tracks is going to resonate the youth specially the girls with exhilaration and delight. Edited excerpts from the interview:

How has the journey been so far?

It has been a wonderful chapter! Everyday I have learnt new stuff, lived new moments and I cherish every single minute of it.

What type of music do you identify with?

There is no single genre which defines me. Up until now, I have given beat songs and romantic tracks, and ,ore of the sad and romantic songs will be released this year.

What have been your challenges in making a name in the industry?

Honestly speaking, I have not faced any challenges as such, for which I am thankful to my mentor, Pinky Dhaliwal paaji. I feel blessed and lucky that I was able to establish myself in this industry with him, as his experience and vision for me made my journey in this field very stress free.

Have you found the Punjabi music industry different from that of Bollywood?

The Punjabi music industry is equivalently good as Bollywood. As of today, every Bollywood movie is incomplete without a Punjabi number. Either there are remakes or new Punjabi songs which give a sense of liveliness that lightens up the mood and pumps in blood when you step out of the theater. These songs have been responsible to boost up the energy and emotions in audiences. But, yes  the Bollywood music industry is very professional and the people understand the value of time, which is comparatively less in the Punjabi music industry.

Nepotism in Bollywood has caught quite a bit of attention. What are your thoughts on this?

I do not believe that as such’ it’s natural that you will give preference to your loved ones or people who are close to you. However, I believe that talent is the main key because of which the performers sustain their level in the industry. On the hand, people from Pollywood (as we call the Punjabi industry), also get an opportunity at big platforms. So, I guess the claim of nepotism is not a 100 percent true, though it may exist in some percentage.
