Palak Sindhwani, also known as Sonu from 'Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' spoke to mid-day.com about her love for music.
How did your connect with music begin?
Since childhood, I always loved dancing. I have done a lot of dance performances in school, I remember dancing to the Lataji's (Mangeshkar) song 'Luka Chuppi' which I had dedicated to my mother, then I have also danced to evergreen songs such as 'Chak Dhoom Dhoom,' 'Koi Mil Gaya,' etc. I feel my love for dance made me connect to music. Music has the power to uplift or change your mood whenever you're feeling low.
What is the kind of music that influenced your childhood, what did you grow up listening to?
I listen to each and every type of song, for me the lyrics of the song is more important, it should be meaningful. It completely depends on my mood too. During childhood I have listened to party songs as well as old evergreen songs of Lataji, Kishoreji, etc. I like 'Kya Hua Tera Wada,' Taylor Swift's songs but 'Lag Ja Gale' is my all time favourite. Now that my taste in music has developed, I like to listen songs in the Indie zone and Coke Studio.
Your experiences with music in plays?
I feel music is a very important part of theatre because it is a live medium with live audience. With every line, every dialogue you say music becomes a really important part of it, I remember doing a Rajasthani play based on sati pratha in my college days for which we chose Rajasthani folk music and also there was performance on the song 'Chaudhary' in the play, it was a really great experience.
