Shreya finds recording studios eerie

As a playback singer, Shreya Ghoshal has to enter the soundproof room in recording studios very often. But the lady with melodious voice feels it can sometimes be an unnerving experience.

“Being alone in the soundproof room of the studio is so eerie. Ears buzz in such precise silence,” she posted on Twitter.

While she posted the message, she was waiting for a recordist to arrive and switch on the machines.

“Need to hear that noise from the computers,” she added.

Tulsi sings for Sonakshi on Salman’s behest

Singer Tulsi Kumar has sung a romantic number “Saanson ne” for Sonakshi Sinha in “Dabangg 2”, on the request of the film’s lead actor Salman Khan.

“Salman liked my song ‘Humko pyaar hua’ from ‘Ready’ and asked me to try a romantic number for ‘Dabangg 2’. After the recording, both Salman and Arbaaz Khan liked the way I sang the number and finalised my rendition for the film,” Tulsi said in a statement.

“Saanson ne”, composed by Sajid−Wajid, is a duet with Sonu Nigam. The song is about love and commitment towards each other.

In the past, Tulsi has lent voice to actresses like Katrina Kaif, Kangna Ranaut, Asin and Karisma Kapoor in songs picturised on them. She is known for singing “Tum jo aaye zindagi mein” from “Once Upon a Time in Mumbai”.

In the near future, her songs will be heard in movies like “Nautanki Saala”, “Yaariyaan”, “I Love New York”, “Aashiqui 2” and “Zila Ghaziabad”.
