Sunidhi Chauhan - Left Mimicry

Sunidhi Chauhan - Bollywood-News.IN
Sunidhi Chauhan has been known as a singer all along, but Did you Know her talent for mimicking other artists? It’s one she says she left a ‘long time ago’ because some people took offence.

‘I have left doing mimicry. I realised that a lot of people didn’t take it in the right spirit and used to feel offended, so I gave it up. Not that I ever did it professionally, but I left it long ago,’ Sunidhi told reporters here.

Nevertheless, Sunidhi gave in to the request of mediapersons at the launch of talent hunt show ‘Indian Idol’ Tuesday night and copied music composer Anu Malik’s style of singing and interacting.

‘I can copy Anu ji…I am sure he won’t mind,’ said Sunidhi, who will be seen co-judging the fifth season of Sony Entertainment Television’s ‘Indian Idol’ along with Anu Malik and music director Salim Merchant.

The 26-year-old, who performed songs like ‘Shut up and bounce’ and ‘Deedar de’ at the launch, has been a brand in Bollywood singing for over 12 years.

In 1996, she won the ‘Meri Awaaz Suno’ music competition on Doordarshan and later went on to give Bollywood hit numbers like ‘Dhadak dhadak’ (‘Bunty Aur Babli’), ‘Bhaage re mann’ (‘Chameli’), ‘Mehboob mere’ (‘Fiza’), ‘Dhoom machale’ (‘Dhoom’), ‘Beedi jaliale’ (‘Omkara’) and ‘Chor bazaari’ (‘Love Aaj Kal’), among many others.

Sunidhi says she just couldn’t say no to ‘Indian Idol’ and felt it was the right time to do such a show.

‘I got a lot of shows before this. Almost every singing show was offered to me on TV. But I wasn’t ready then. I didn’t feel like doing them then. But then when this season was offered, I thought – ‘If not this, then what?’ So I went ahead and I am very happy with my decision,’ she said.

Sunidhi Chauhan also admitted that one of her motives to join the show was her desire to meet small town aspirants – and motivate them. She is also on the lookout for a versatile singer.

‘Our main focus this time is going to be on getting an excellent singer – a singer who sings everything, including classical and then maybe some western. That will be a complete package,’ she said.

‘Indian Idol 5′ will go on air starting next week Monday and will be telecast from Monday to Thursday every week at 9 p.m.

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
