“Whenever I am tired or free, I listen to classical songs of Anjali Gaikwad and her sister, Nandani. I have listened to them on YouTube and even, she (Anjali) had sung playback in my film, Sachin: A Billion Dreams. I wish the both of them all the very best for their future.” Also Read - Indian Idol: When Neha Kakkar had an 'OOPS' moment as she fell on stage while dancing with host Aditya Narayan - watch viral video
Overwhelmed by AR Rahman's gracious words, Anjali Gaikwad responded, “It was my honour to sing a song like Mard Maratha for the film, Sachin: A Billion Dreams with AR Ameen (AR Rahman's son). It feels blessed that God has arrived on the set, who is nurturing me on such a big platform. I am feeling overwhelmed and motivated and this will also encourage me to perceive my singing career by working hard to get more chances as such.”
Well...when AR Rahman singles you out for such high praise, you know that you must be doing something right in your career.
