Captivating Hearts with Melodies

THE MUSICAL JOURNEY OF SHILPA RAO

-  Geethanjali

We step into the enchanting world of music as we interact with the soul-stirring voice behind numerous Bollywood charttoppers and mesmerising renditions of Indian classical ragas. Shilpa Rao has won the hearts of millions, from Bollywood classics like 'Tose Naina Lage', 'Ghungroo,' to her latest releases such as 'Besharam Rang' from Pathaan and 'Rua Rua' from PS2. Hailing from a lineage of musicians, this versatile singer who has also been a Grammy nominee has left an indelible mark on the music industry

1. You had a huge success with the song "Besharam Rang" from the movie Pathaan. What was your reaction when you first found out that the song had become such a hit? 

We don't all start with the idea of creating a hit song. Our intention is to craft a good song that complements the film, conveys something about the character, and does justice to it. However, it is the crowd that ultimately turns it into a big hit, not us. Once we complete the song, it no longer belongs to us; it becomes for the fans. We were genuinely delighted by how people embraced it and resonated with the song's vibe.

2. You've had the opportunity to work with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Siddharth Anand and Vishal-Shekhar. Can you share some of your experiences working with them?
