Sunidhi, the past winner of ‘Meri Awaz Suno’ started performing at the age of four and made her singing debut at the age of 13 (Film: Shastra, 1996). She grabbed the eyeballs after her groundbreaking track ‘Ruki Ruki Si Zindagi’ from the movie ‘Mast’ (1999). She won the Filmfare RD Burman Award for New Music Talent for that song in the following year.
This short film is also a debut for writer-director Arif Ali. We tried connecting Sunidhi, but she is out of India for her show.
