Singer Nikhita Gandhi opens up about her Bollywood journey and upcoming projects.
Nikhita Gandhi wants to sing for Priyanka Chopra
“Dhayaan Chand” from Manmarziyaan, Stree’s “Aao Kabhi Haveli Pe” and Sanju’s “Mujhe Chand Pe Le Chalo” are some of the songs sung by Nikhita Gandhi. This Kolkata-born singer was introduced to singing while pursuing dentistry in Chennai. She started her career with A R Rahman and worked on films such as I, Pele and OK Kanmani.
In an interview with indianexpress.com, the singer opened up about her journey and upcoming projects.
Q. What was it like working on Manmarziyaan’s fun track “Dhayaan Chand”?
This was the first time that I worked with Amit Trivedi, and it’s also the first time that I tried rapping for a song. It was pretty incredible that he applied my voice in that fashion. “Dhayaan Chand” is quite different from all that I have done in the past. Also, during the promotions, I got a chance to travel with the stars of the film (Abhishek Bachchan, Vicky Kaushal, and Taapsee Pannu) for the Manmarziyaan tour and it was great to perform live for the audience and to see their positive response to it.
Q. You have sung songs like “Aao Kabhi Haveli Pe”, “Mujhe Chand Pe Le Chalo” and “Raabta”. All of these have been received well. How do you feel about that?
I am thrilled to have sung these songs. “Raabta” was the one song which completely changed my journey. It introduced me to Bollywood, following which I got a chance to work with so many amazing composers.
Q. What has been the best compliment you have received for a song?
One of the strangest and the nicest compliment I got was from a fellow singer who walked up to me and said, ‘I had no idea you had sung “Ghar” (a track from Jab Harry Met Sejal). It does not sound like any other song that I have heard from you.’ Now, that, for me, is a huge compliment.
