Love working together: Sukriti on being pitted against sister Prakriti

Singer-composer Sukriti Kakar feels that she has come a long way, professionally. While she is often compared to her twin sister, singer-composer Prakriti Kakar, the comparison doesn’t really bother her. “Starting very young in the industry, it does get overwhelming at times. With each passing day, I know that I am on the right path. I remember how, at times, we sisters were pitted against each other in terms of opportunities and projects. But soon, we realised that if we are together, these things will wane away, thanks to our mother who made us understand this very early,” she says. The Kar Gayi Chull (Kapoor & Sons; 2016) and Subah Subah (Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety; 2018) singer adds, “We love creating music together along with taking up individual projects with ease.” The year is going to be a packed one for both Sukriti and her sister. The former tells us, “We sisters have been creating a number of songs for quite some time now. During the lockdown, we got a bit more time to work on our music. The songs add up to a young soulful collection and this year, we plan to release our first album. We are thrilled to be among the first few music composing sister duos. It gives a huge sense of achievement.” For their album, the duo will also collaborating with international singer Matteo Bocelli. Sukriti’s last playback song from the Shah Rukh Khan starrer hit, Pathaan ,is topping the charts. She says, “When Jhoome Jo Pathaan released, I had no idea that it will rewrite history for me. Those reels and videos where people were seen dancing on the song spelt magic for me. It has turned into a milestone moment for all of us. What else can an artiste ask for, when their song is being played in every nook and corner?”
