It was happy accident: Richa Chadha on singing debut
New Delhi Oct 6 (IANS) Actress Richa Chadha says making her debut as a singer with Punjabi track " Gwandian from Dr. Zeus album "Global Injection" was a decision that came about as a "happy accident".
What drew her to come up with a song?
"It was a happy accident at best. I met with some friends and they were looking for a vocalist. I hummed and they asked me to record it. We were done with the whole thing in about 5 hours " Richa told IANS over email.
The song launched on Thursday features the dynamic duo Dr.Zeus and Zora Randhawa and Richa Chadha with her "Fukrey" co-star Varun Sharma. Its video has already received over 1 757 750 views.
" Gwandian is a party track and also could be a wedding song. Hence we didn t want to shoot it in a typical fashion. We wanted to give it a family feel and make it relatable for people who live in big cities in apartment complexes " she said.
Is the response encouraging enough to follow it up with another track?
"Sure. Since I am an actor first and not a singer if anyone wants to collaborate with me I am more than happy to " said Richa who is not opposed to the idea of singing for a film.
"Why not? If some one trusts me with it why not?"
As a listener she enjoys light Hindustani classical music "because it s vast".
"I listen to a lot of house and instrumental too. I like old Hindi songs and Sufi music. But my cardio playlist is usually hip-hop and pop " the actress added.
