Shraddha Kapoor: I am really thankful to Mohit Suri
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,February 14 2015]
Recently Shraddha Kapoor was humbled when GIMA awards reached out to her to break the news that she has been nominated for the award. Shraddha was ecstatic to learn that she is contending for such a prestigious award. An elated Shraddha said, "I was absolutely euphoric when I got to know that I have been nominated for a singing award. Singing is something which I have always been interested in but not really pursued so getting such recognition really means a lot."
Shraddha's song "Gaaliyan" from 'EK Villain' was loved by audiences and became one of the best songs of last year. Shraddha has a beautiful voice and used to train with her grandfather as a kid. So when Mohit Suri gave her the opportunity to sing during the shooting of 'Ek Villain' she gladly took it up and lent her voice to the song. Her song has been trending and she has earned praises from all quarters for her singing.
The young actress further added, "I am really thankful to Mohit actually. I had casually mentioned it to him that I would like to sing during Aashiqui shoot but during Ek Villain it was he who brought it up and encouraged me to sing."
Sources close to Shraddha claimed, singing had taken a backseat for her all these years and while she is a trained singer she had not really practiced for some time now. Before taking to the studio Shraddha got back to her riyaaz and was very nervous. However she never expected her song to be recognized in such a high measure. In fact, post "Gaaliyan", Shraddha even lent her voice for a song in 'Haider'.
Shraddha hails from a music family with her grandfather Pandharinath Kolhapure is a classical singer. She was waiting to break the news to her grandfather and was sure he would be delighted to hear it. She personally wanted to do meet him and tell him this.
Currently Shraddha is working on 'ABCD 2' and recently bagged the sequel of 'Rock On'.
