Some singers are not limited to just their vocal skills and are open to showing off their acting prowess when the opportunity presents.
Akasa Singh, known for songs like Kheech Meri Photo and Aithey Aa does just that with SonyLIV's new Web series, Chamak. She plays a singer in her first acting role.
"Nobody even knew I did Chamak while I shot it! People came to know about me being a part of the show only recently when the first announcement was made,"
Tell us something about Chamak and your role in it.
Chamak is based on the Punjabi music industry, which is amazing because I feel I am connected to that.
My character's name is Lata and she is this girl-next-door, sweet sort of a girl.
Surprisingly, she is not a proper singer.
She always wanted to be one and always looking for her father's validation, who is also very new in the music industry.
So, yeah, it was a very interesting and amazing character to play.
Is the show based on the life of Amar Singh Chamkila?
This show is fictional.
Having said that, a lot of people will relate to a lot of things but, in my opinion, it is a fictional show.
How did you become a part of it?
When I was in college, there was Mukesh Chhabra's first-ever workshop which I was a part of.
Back then, he had said, 'You should take acting seriously and consider doing this and music together.'
At that time, I was focusing on music only.
