Sunidhi Chauhan, currently electrifying audiences with her enthralling concerts, recently took a moment to reflect on the stellar success of her contemporary, Arijit Singh. Known for captivating fans in every performance, Chauhan shared her insights into what makes Singh a unique and enduring figure in the world of music.
Joining the pop girl group ‘W.i.S.H’ at the YouTube Fan Fest 2024 in Mumbai, Sunidhi Chauhan’s presence has been generating significant buzz, leaving her fans begging for more. In a candid discussion on Raj Shamani’s podcast, she offered an in-depth analysis of why Arijit Singh continues to dominate the music scene.
Discussing Singh’s unique qualities, Sunidhi began by emphasizing his continuous learning attitude, saying, “He is a student. He is such a beautiful singer. Whatever the genre, I think he can adapt himself according to that, which is a very big quality. He does that without changing his voice; otherwise, to jump into a genre, you try to tweak your vocals. A lot of people do that; I don’t think he does that a lot. He has become too big to even try something like that.”
Sunidhi also highlighted a key trait that sets Singh apart from other artists: his humility. “He does not love himself enough. That’s why he is able to do what he is doing. He does not think he is Arijit Singh. He is chilled out, whatever little I have known of him. He loves to listen to other people, loves to adapt from other singers that he likes. He sings their songs onstage in his own concert.
. It does not have to be Lata (Mangeshkar) ji, Kishore Kumar ji; it can be a new singer’s song also. For him, he just wants to make music. He doesn’t want to be heard. He just sings; we want to hear him. You create that aura, and it reaches people. Your song is your brand.”
Arijit Singh’s versatility and ability to remain grounded despite his success are elements that Chauhan believes have been crucial in keeping him relevant and beloved by fans over the years. It’s his dedication to the art of music, rather than a quest for fame, that creates an authentic connection with his audience.
Reflecting on her own journey, Sunidhi Chauhan, known for her incredible vocal range and adaptability, has similarly carved out a remarkable career. Born in Delhi, Sunidhi began her musical journey at the tender age of five and made her professional debut at 13 with the 1996 film ‘Shastra’. Her early breakthrough came after winning a singing reality show titled ‘Meri Awaz Suno’. This victory was a springboard to her first major hit, ‘Ruki Ruki Si Zindagi’ from the 1999 movie ‘Mast’.
Further success followed with the 2000 song “Mehboob Mere” from ‘Fiza’, establishing her as a formidable presence in the music industry. Over the years, Sunidhi has delivered numerous hits, including ‘Aisa Champion Kahan’, ‘Meri Payal Bole’, ‘Hum To Mohabbat Karega’, ‘Do Pyaar Karne Wale’, ‘Aiyo Aiyo Rama’, ‘Bumbro’, ‘Ta Thaiya Ta Thaiya’, ‘Mujhko Neend Aa Rahi Hai’, ‘Haan Mera Deewaanapan’, ‘Say Shava Shava’, ‘Tujhe Dekha Jabse’, ‘Khullam Khulla Pyar’, ‘Aa Bhi Ja’, ‘Skubi Dubi Du’, and ‘Nasha Nasha’, among many others.
In addition to her singing career, Sunidhi has also judged several singing reality shows like ‘Indian Idol 5’, ‘Indian Idol 6’, ‘The Voice’, and ‘Dil Hai Hindustani 2’.
