Bengali singer Aditi Paul has performed a fresh romantic song for newlywed actress Sonakshi Sinha in the recent horror comedy Kakuda on Zee5. She recorded the song, Shukra Guzar, alongside Gulraj Singh. In an interview, Aditi said that she found the lyrics cute and fell in love with the song when she heard it.
“Gulraj is an amazingly talented musician. The lyrics, beautifully written by Manoj Yadav, are so cute. They complement the composition perfectly. Also, I’ve sung for Sonakshi Sinha before in Lingaa', which was composed by the legendary AR Rahman Sir,” said the ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’ singer.
Kakuda is presently streaming on Zee5 and also stars Saqib Saleem and Riteish Deshmukh.
The Kolkata-born singer, who began her formal training in classical music under the tutelage of Pt. Ajoy Chakraborty, found fame when she sang ‘Ang Laga De’ in ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’. Aditi followed up her success with Veeron ke Veer Aa from Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Later, she has sung for several films in several languages.
Meanwhile, throughout her playback journey in Bollywood, Aditi always remained deeply connected to her roots. She made sure she watched Bengali films and sang Bengali songs, staying true to her roots. “I’ve sung a Tagore song, Je Raate Mor Duarguli, and it was a wonderful experience. I was, in fact, a little intimidated in the beginning as I grew up listening to the rendition of the same song by the legendary Debabrata Biswas from ‘Meghe Dhaka Tara’, which I think is the best rendition ever. So, I had to channel my fear into happiness because I truly believe that it was one of the most beautiful opportunities I’ve had so far,” she said.
Meanwhile, Aditi likes to call herself a ‘Santiniketan’ girl more than a Kolkata girl. And she listens to all forms of Bengali music be it films, non-films, folk or classical. She also harbours the dream of collaborating more on Bengali music. “I do listen to a lot of Bengali music and it goes without saying that I love them. I listen to a lot of old Bengali songs. It’s so enriching and there’s so much to learn. I would love to collaborate with everyone,” said Aditi, who recently watched Abhinandan Banerjee’s debut Bengali directorial Manikbabur Megh and can’t stop gushing about it. As of now, Aditi is working on a few independent songs. “In fact, I’ll be releasing one next month and it’s one of my compositions,” she smiled.
