She started off with Indian Idol 4 which served as the platform for her for playback singing.

We interview her as she talks about her life since Indian Idol 4, her viewpoints on Independent Music and as she shares some of the intense moments in her career & social life, we hope you enjoy learning from her experience.

Interview with playback singer Bhavya Pandit

 How has your life changed since Indian Idol 4?

 Indian Idol 4 was the first big platform that I stepped on. From doing small-scale stage shows, I was suddenly subjected to the affection of millions of viewers. So, life definitely changed post Indian Idol. I even landed my first playback in “What’s Your Raashee” one day after my elimination. The break was given to me by Javed Saab, who was on our jury. I’m boundlessly grateful to Idol and Sony for providing me my first exposure!

With new musical reality shows coming up every year, do you think it has had an impact on playback singing?

Reality shows are giving way to a lot of fresh talent which is being discovered by composers and that’s naturally affecting the playback scene in a positive way. Reality shows are a great medium for people like me who have no contacts in the industry otherwise. These shows make one’s talent visible to the who’s who of Tinsel Town, providing the introductory push.

How do you physically, emotionally, and mentally prepare before recording a song?

 I do my ‘Riyaz’ on a regular basis so my throat is generally ready for most recordings. But if there’s some special effort required (say, diction for a regional song or working on my texture for a specific song), then I spend extra time looking into those aspects. Mentally, I just keep calm prior to a recording. My life outside the studio doesn’t matter once I step inside. It’s all about the song from that moment on.

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.

Interview with playback singer Bhavya Pandit

Who is your favourite actor? How has movies & musicials affected your singing styles?

At this point, I would have to say Ranveer Singh is my absolute favorite actor! He has simply everything that it takes. I’m honestly not a huge films buff I listen to the songs all the time. So film Music has definitely affected my “musicality”. I mean, as someone who’s never been in love but has to sing songs about the same all the time, it helps that I’ve heard a great deal of songs. Emoting becomes easier.

What are your future projects?

 I have a playback song coming up in “Lucky Kabootar” (starring Eijaz song). It’s a superfun Punjabi track with Mika Paaji again. I’m really excited. A couple of more songs for untitled projects, including a Hindi version of an Arabic track! I’ve got some cover songs coming up for Youtube and I also plan to produce my originals very soon. These are busy times and I’m loving them!

How important is independent music today? The scenario in India has always been people listening to more to conventional movie songs rather than independent music. With reality shows like Dewarists, Coke Studio, MTV Unplugged coming up, how has it impacted the singers & the people?

 I am so glad for this question! Anyone who knows me well knows how much I love and respect independent Musicians and I hope to be one myself in the near future. Bollywood is amazing and I’ll always keep singing for Movies as long as I’m privileged to land these songs but my career will be incomplete without an enormous dose of independent Music. I want to do so much in areas like Classical-Rock and Classical-Jazz fusion amongst others. As for shows like Unplugged and Coke Studio, they’re such a breath of fresh air. Even if I miss the telecast on TV, I catch it all later online. A special shoutout to Coke Studio Pakistan for being consistently mindblowing for so many years now.

Any message to your fans out there?

Thanks for your support, everyone! Lookout for some non-film Music in the near future and do connect with me. I’d love to share my feeds with you guys and I’m managing my social media presence myself so it’s totally personal.

What do you think about Musicperk.com?

You guys are doing such a great job, enlightening Music lovers about Artists across genres and encouraging Music across spectrums. Then of course, you’re interviewing me so you’re that much more amazing.  Just kidding. Keep up the amazing work. All the best wishes for you all!

Some shoutouts :

My Mom: For bring crazier about my Music more than me and being unbelievably supportive at all times. Dad and Bhai (my brother Aalok) too for being such sweethearts and putting up with my moodswings forever.

My Guruji: Pt. Prabhakar Karekar for training me patiently over the years and encouraging my light Music aspirations despite being a Hindustani Classical stalwart.

Himmesh Reshammiya Sir: For giving me my first blockbuster hit in Son of Sardaar!

Studio Unplugged (Jai-Parthiv): For choosing me to sing Pani da Rang lounge version, which is over 1.5 million hits strong as of today and many songs thereafter.

LAG JAA GALE KE PHIR YE HASEEN: BHAVYA P


MOVIE : WOH KAUN THI: 1964
SINGER: BHAVYA PANDIT
LYRICS: RAJA MEHDI ALI KHAN

1) LAG JAA GALE KE PHIR YE HASEEN:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh8mglEJJjE

Lag ja gale ki phir ye hasin raat ho na ho
Embrace me,  this night may never come again
Shayad phir is janam mein mulakat ho na ho
Perhaps in this life our meeting may not occur

Lag jaa gale se ...


Hum ko mili hai aaj ye ghadiya naseeb se
We have got today with these moments by chance
Je bhar ke dekh leejiye hamako kareeb se
See to your heart's content me from up-close
Phir apke naseeb mein ye raat ho na ho
In your fate this night may not happen again
Shayad phir is janaam mein mulakaat ho na ho
Perhaps in this life our meeting may not occur

Lag ja gale ki phir ye hasin raat ho na ho
Embrace me, this night may never come again
Shayad phir is janam mein mulakaat ho na ho
Perhaps in this life our meeting may not occur

Pas aiye ki ham nahin ayenge baar baar
Come near me for I will not come again
Bahen gale mein daal ke ham ro le zaar-zaar
With arms around your neck let me weep to my heart's content
Ankhoon se phir ye pyaar ki barsaat ho na ho
From my eyes this rain of love may not fall again
Shayad phir is janam mein mulaakat ho na ho
Perhaps in this life our meeting may not occur

Lag ja gale ki phir ye hasin raat ho na ho
Embrace me for this night may never come again
Shayad phir is janam mein mulaakat ho na ho
Perhaps in this life our meeting may not occur

2) HUMEIN TUMSE PYAR KITNA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7CoWtLB-wY

Hamein tum se pyar kitna ye hum nahin jaante
Magar jee nahin sakte tumhaare bina

I don't know how much I love you
All I know is that I cannot live without you..

suna gham judaai ka uthaate hain log
jaane Zindagi kaise bitaate hain log
Din bhi yahaan to lage baras ke samaan
hume intezaar kitna yeh hum nahin jaante
Magar jee nahi sakte tumhaare bina

I've heard that people bear the pain of separation,
I don’t know how they live their lives with such pain
To me each day feels like a year
I don't how much I long for you,
But I know that I cannot live without you..

tumhein koi aur dekhe to jaltaa hai dil
badi mushkilon se phir sambhalta hai dil
kya kya jatan karte hain tumhein kya pataa
ye dil beqaraar kitna ye hum nahin jaante
Magar jee nahi sakte tumhaare bina

As someone looks at you, my heart feels jealous
With difficulty then, I have to placate my heart..
You don’t know how I manage this thing..
I don’t know how much restless my heart is,
What I know is that I cannot live without you..

Hamein tum se pyar kitna ye hum nahin jaante
Magar jee nahin sakte tumhaare bina

I don't know how much I love you
All I know is that I cannot live without you..

I have no complaints against a life without you.
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekinzindagi to nahin zindagi nahin
Yet a life without you is like no a life at all.

Ji mein ataa hai tere daaman mein
I yearn to seek refuge in your bosom
Sar chhupake ham rote rahein, rote rahein
To hide my face as I continue to weep.
Teri bhii aankhon mein aansuuon ki nami to nahin
Are your eyes not clouded by the mist of tears, too?

Tere bina zindagi se koi shikva to nahin, shikva nahin
I have no complaints against a life without you.
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekinzindagi to nahin zindagi nahin
Yet a life without you is like no a life at all.

Kaash aisaa ho tere qadamon se
I wish that, from your footsteps,
Chunke manzil chalein aur kahin, dur kahin
We could find new destination somewhere else
Tum gar saath ho manzilon kii kamii to nahin
With you by my side, there is no shortage of destinations for us to reach.

Tere bina zindagi se koi shikva to nahin, shikva nahin

I have no complaints against a life without you.
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin zindagi to nahinzindagi nahin
Yet a life without you is like no a life at all.

Ishaaro ishaaro mein dil lene waale , bataa ye hunar tune sikhaa kahaa se
The one who stole my heart with only plain actions, tell me how did you learn to do so

Nigaaho nigaaho mein jaadoo chalaanaa  meree jaan sikhaa hain tum ne jahaa se
Casting spell only through meeting of the eyes 
My love where did you learn this from

Mere dilko tum bhagye mere kya the is mein khata
You stole my heart, what had i done wrong
Mujhe jis ne tadapa diya, yahe the wo jalim adaa
The one who tortured me, was these actions itself 
Ye raanzaa kee baate, ye majanoo ke kisse , alag to naheen hain meree daasataa se
The story of the lover tales of majnoo another lover's story , is not at all different from my story

Ishaaro ishaaro mein dil lene waale
[the one who stole my heart with only plain actions]........
Female...mohabbat jo karate hain wo, mohabbat jataate nahee
[people who love, they don't show it ]
dhadakane apanee dil kee kabhee, kisee ko sunaate nahee
[the heartbeats of our heart, we don't let others hear them]
majaa kyaa rahaa jab ke khud kar diyaa ho , mohabbat kaa ijahaar apane jubaan se
[what is the fun when we do it ourselves , the proposal of our love by ourselves ]
Male..nigaaho nigaaho mein jaadoo chalaanaa
[Casting spell only through meeting of the eyes]...............

Male...maanaa ke jaana-ye-jahaa laakhon mein tum yek ho
[I agree that you are one among the rest of the world }

humaaree kee nigaahon kee bhee kuchh to magar daad do
[You have to praise me for the good choice i have]

bahaaron ko bhee naaj jis fhooll par thaa
[even the eyes of this world had an eye on this flower]
wahee phool hum ne chunaa gulasitaa se
[that is the same flower i have chosen from the garden ]

ishaaro ishaaro mein dil lene waale
[the one who stole my heart with only plain actions].......

5) KUCH TU LOG KAHENGE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcHXNyELnR4

Kuchh to log kahenge logon ka kaam hai kehnaa
chhodo bekaar ki baaton mein kaheen beet na jaaye rainaa

People will say something or the other, it's their business to talk,
Ignore it, lest the night ends in these useless things..

kuchh reet jagat ki aisi hai har ek subah ki shaam hui..
tu kaun hai tera naam hai kya sita bhi yahaan badnaam huyi
phir kyon sansaar ki baaton se, bheeg gaye tere naina

This world's tradition is such, that every morning has an evening..
You're a nobody here, even (the goddess) Sita was slandered here.
So why did your eyes grow moist, hearing the world's talks..

kuchh to log kahenge, logon kaa kaam hai kehna
chhodo bekaar ki baaton mein kaheen beet na jaaye rainaa

People will say something or the other, it's their business to talk,
Ignore it, lest the night ends in these useless things..

hum ko jo taane dete hain, ham khoye hain in rang-raliyon mein,
hum ne un ko bhi chhup chhup ke aate dekhaa in galiyon mein
ye sach hai jhoothi baat nahi tum bolo ye sach hai na

Those who taunt us, saying we're lost in debauchery..
I've seen even them come in these lanes in hiding..
This is the truth, not a false rumor.. you say, isn't it true?

kuchh to log kahenge logon kaa kaam hai kehna
chhodo bekaar kee baaton mein kaheen beet na jaaye raina

People will say something or the other, it's their business to talk,
Ignore it, lest the night ends in these useless things..

You have just arrived, just now you have,
Bahaar ban ke chaayi ho

Hawa zara mahek to le nazar zara bahek to le
Let air catch your fragrance let my gaze go crazy
Yeh sham dhal to le zara yeh sham dhal to le zara
Let the evening deepen a bit, evening deepen a bit
Ye dil sambhal to le zara main thodi der je to loon
Let my heart be steady let me live for a little while
Nashe ke ghont p to loon nashe ke ghont p to loon
Let me take some sips of intoxication
Abhi to kuch kaha nahi abhi to kuch suna nahi
I have not said or heard anything as yet

Burana mano baat ka ye pyar hain gila nahi
Abhi na jaao chhod kar ke dil abhi bhara nahi
Please don’t leave my heart is not satiated yet,

Sitaare jhilmila uthe chirag jagmaga uthe
Stars are shining lamps are lit evening has come
Bas ab na mujhko tokna na badhke raah rokna
Don't forbid anymore don't obstruct my path
Agar main ruk gayi abhi to jaa na paungi kabhi
If I stay back now I shall never be able to go
yahi kahoge tum sada ke dil abhi nahi bhara
You will say the heart is not satiated as yet
Jo khatam ho kisi jagah yeh aisa silsila nahi
The is not a matter that will come to a timely end

Abhi na jaao chhod kar ke dil abhi bhara nahi
Please don’t leave, my heart is not satiated yet,
Abhi nahi abhi nahi nahi nahi nahi nahi

as the dawn of love arrives, swaying about.
Dekh kar saamne ruup kii raushnii
After encountering the light of your beauty,
Phir lutii jaa rahii hai subaah pyaar kii
The dawn of love is being stolen away.

Sonevaalon ko hans kar jagaanaa bhii hai
Those who are sleeping are to be awakened smiling
Raat ke jaagaton ko sulaanaa bhii hai
Those who tayed awake tonight are to be lulled to sleep.
Detii hai jaagne kii sadaa saath hii
Though it also gives the call to awaken,
Loriyaan gaa rahii hai subaah pyaar kii
This dawn of love evokes calm by singing lullabies.

Raat ne pyaar ke jaam bhar kar diiye
The night has filled our wine goblets of love.
Aankhon-aankhon se jo maine tum ne piiye
You and I drank from them with our eyes.
Hosh to ab talak jaa ke lauTe nahiin
After leaving us, our consciousness has yet to return.
Aur kyaa laa rahii hai subaah pyaar kii?
What else does this dawn of love have in store?

Kyaa kyaa vaade hue, kis ne khaayii qasam?
What promises were made tonight? Who has sworn to new vows?
Is nayii raah par ham ne rakhe qadam
Upon this new path, we have taken our first steps.
Chhup sakaa pyaar kab? ham chhupaayen to kyaa?
When could our love be hidden? Even if it did, so what?
Sab samajh paa rahii hai subaah pyaar kii
This dawn of love one is able to understand everything.

Raat ke hamsafar thak ke ghar ko chalein
Oh companion of the night, let us wander home wearily,
Juumtii aa rahii hai subaah pyaar kii
As the dawn of love arrives, swaying about.
