Here is a brief interview between Shilpa Rao and Empire Weekly

1. As you are one of the most well-known singers Tell us about your experience in the music industry?

Despite the fact that my father is a singer, I never wanted to be a singer until I met my Guruji Hariharan and was inspired to learn music. That is when my journey toward singing began, and I began training for many years until I got my first opportunity.

It has been a journey of 15 years in this industry now and I feel quite content about it. Looking back, I can say I had a great and magical time because if not for music I’m not sure what I would be doing in life.

I’m still learning every day, and every musician you meet plants a new seed of knowledge. So, yes, it’s been a fun ride, and I’m grateful to everyone who has helped me along the way.

2. How much you have enjoyed it?

3. Tell us about Ghungroo, one of the most amazing songs you’ve ever sung?

First and foremost, I want to thank all of my fans and Ghungroo listeners for taking this song to new heights; it’s a special song to me.

It was thrilling to accept the Filmfare award, which is such an honorable and prestigious award for this song.

I’d like to express my gratitude to Vishal, Shekhar, Sidharth Anand, and YRF for this incredible opportunity.
