The star singer in a conversation…
Q: How did singing happen to you? Is it inborn or inherited from your family environment?
Sunidhi Chauhan: I think I was born to be a singer that indeed is a blessing in me. But without struggle achieving a high is almost impossible and I hail this to my family, who also happens to be my mentor. I would not have been what I am today without their incessant efforts and sacrifices. Though music happened to me naturally minus any formal training, it is my parents who identified my exceptional aptitude and paved a way for me to pursue a career in it since I was merely four (year-old). Professedly promoting me to different competitive dos during my school days, my parents injected a stimulus music worm in me to sharpen my singing proficiency without having any music background at my family front. We were merely good listeners.
