A NEW TUNE

You are a graduate in Hindustani classical music? Yes! All my family and friends know I can sing. I am constantly humming around them. Music directors did suggest in the past that I should sing for myself. But it never happened. I am glad Maneesh Sharma ( who is a producer on this project), Aditya Chopra and my director Akshay Roy convinced me to sing in Meri Pyaari

Bindu.

Ayushmann Khurrana, your co- star in Meri Pyaari Bindu, is also a singer… Oh, but he is a professional singer. The world knows how well he can sing. He has released many songs. I am new to professional singing.

What took you so long to accept a new acting project? Well, the script had to work for me. When I read the script of Meri Pyaari Bindu, I connected with it immediately. It is such a feel good script. I think Akshay Roy will make a good film. That I get to sing is a bonus! Adi ( Chopra) is the producer. So it’s like coming home.

Are more acting assignments coming up? Of course! Meri Pyaari Bindu is the first film I’ve announced. There are others coming up. I am going to do everything this year that I wanted to do. You will hear many more announcements from me. Now I am back in action.

When do you start shooting for Meri

Pyaari Bindu?

In April. We finish in June. Then I go on to my next.
