Interview with playback singer Bhavya Pandit

Do you have any embarrassing moment, you’re willing to share, when you first starting singing?

 Oh dear, I could write an entire thesis on my embarrassing moments. So many flaps happen on stage all the time, nobody is perfect. The important thing is, these should be concealed from one’s audience as best as possible! There was this one time when I forgot the Lyrics of a particular song on stage and made up my own lyrics on the spot. It was just a line or so so most people didn’t notice it. Those who did, appreciated my presence of mind later. So all in all, it wasn’t a bad experience at all.

What do you think is the most important aspect of a song?

I worship melody and technical perfections in terms of pitching (Sur). Having said that, it is crucial to do justice to the lyrics of a well-written song. One must breathe life into what would just be words otherwise.

What do you think makes a song successful or not successful?

 Frankly, I don’t dwell on the success of a song before singing it. I just do my job and then hope for good results. One shouldn’t carry the baggage of producing hits at all times. It’s important to have conviction in what you do.
