Kanika Kapoor became a rage when she sang the song Baby Doll for Sunny Leone's Ragini MMS 2 back in 2014. But her journey to fame has been anything but easy. She has poured her heart out in an interview and talked about the highs and the lows.

She spoke about her journey as a singer in the Hindi film industry, her take on the remixes that happen today, and how she was going through a lot of trauma when the song Baby Doll came her way.

She revealed to The Times of India, "My second favourite song, sung by me is, ‘Baby doll'. I was dealing with a lot of trauma and going through several ups and downs in my personal life when I was offered the song. When I understood the meaning of ‘Yeh duniya pittal di, Baby doll main sone di', I sang it with a vengeance, which is quite sad. But I sang it with all my heart and people connected with it."

When asked about dealing with the rough patches in her career, Kapoor said, "When an artiste claims that they have not faced rejection, they are lying to themselves. Rejection is a part of any field because not everyone is going to love your work and style of singing."

She added, "Every singer has their own audience and we should really do the best that we can and leave the rest to the audience. Even I don't like all kinds of music; it changes from person to person. So yes, there have been a lot of rejections, and I'm sure that even in the future there will be, and it's okay. I have learnt from my rejections."

And this is what she said about the remixes that happen today, "Some are insane, some are pathetic. I am also doing them and I hope that the ones I do, I don't kill them because it's just ridiculous."
