This song features English and Hindi lyrics proclaiming the many 'glamorous' features of the Windows Vista Operating System.Ĭhauhan also sung for the Hindi-dubbed version of Disney's movie, High School Musical - songs which were sung by Vanessa Anne Hudgens in the English version. In Feb 2007, as part of its marketing campaign and launch of Windows Vista in India, Microsoft hired Sunidhi Chauhan to sing the "Windows Vista Song" titled Wow is Now. This has helped her beat stiff competition in the industry, especially from top Indian female playback singer, Shreya Ghosal - to whom, many feel, Chauhan has lost her limelight. Hit singer Himesh Reshammiya, when asked to rate her in the popular talk show Koffee with Karan gave her a score of 9/10.Ĭhauhan's strength lies in her versatility - Having been labelled "genre-defying," she is perhaps the only Bollywood singer who can sing just about any genre, including rock, pop, classical, folk, and semi-classical. However, she earned much criticism when she rendered Yeh Mera Dil (Don 2006), for not matching up with the earlier version sung by Asha Bhonsle in 1978.Ĭhauhan has worked with literally every music director of the new millennium's first decade, and is one of the most "played" voices on India's radio circuit.
Chauhun went on to work with nationally and internationally acclaimed directors and composers. I was only thirteen then."Īfter Mast there was no turning back. I met Sandeep Chowtha through Sonu Nigam, and fifteen days later, Mast was in my lap. In an interview, while speaking of Mast, she said: By the age of nineteen, Chauhan had already lent her voice to over 350 songs.Ĭhahuhn's breakthrough was Ram Gopal Verma's Mast, in which she sang the hit song, Ruki Ruki Si Zindagi, alongside three other songs, including the title song itself. She followed it with work in films like Gang, Veergati, Dahek, Bade Dilwala, Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat and Samar. But by then, I had made up my mind that I will pursue singing as a career."Ĭhauhan stepped into the world of playback singing with the 1996 Bollywood film, Shastra, after Aadesh Srivastava asked her to lend her voice to the song Larki Deewaani Dekho, Ladka Deewaana. "My first song and the contest did not help me much. In 2002, Chauhan herself observed this in an interview:
Unluckily for Chauhan, Aira Ghaira Nathu Khaira was promoted as a children's album, and failed to get the recognition it deserved. She won the competition, and bagged the top prize of recording an album, Aira Ghaira Nathu Khaira, with HMV. Recognition first met her in 1996, through the music show Meri Aawaz Suno - the first such televised contest in India - which was broadcast through the Indian national television channel, Doordarshan.
