Sunidhi Chauhan admits lobbying exists in music industry; says ‘I haven’t got money for many movies’

Sunidhi Chauhan has been one of the most sought-after singers in the Indian music space for a long time and that’s also the reason she is one of the highest-paid artists as well. But her fate didn’t have the best pages since forever. Chauhan during a recent appearance on Raj Shamani’s podcast revealed that she hasn’t got money for some of the best work she did.

The interviewer cited an infamous practice where several singers are made to sing scratches of the same song and whoever’s version gets selected, they are paid and the rest of everyone else is not even paid for their efforts. “So kya Bollywood mein paise nahi milte?,” Raj asked to which Sunidhi said that in general being left unpaid is a common phenomenon.

Having said that, the Sheila Ki Jawani singer admitted that singers who are certainly popular enjoy the right to ask for their money. For all singers in general, everyone has the choice of demanding the money before singing or taking it after singing which makes it a common ground so that no one is to be blamed.

Further speaking about herself, Sunidhi said, “I haven’t got money for many movies, even today they don’t give me. They ask and I choose not to take it because I feel for this song I don’t need money. At some places I would like to help so I say my price and I sing the song. You don’t want to hurt anybody’s ego because everyone does not think like you. They might also not understand how you feel.”

The 40-year-old was reminded of Sonu Nigam’s infamous statement on things being controlled by Bollywood mafias and ‘kuch hi log hain, kuch hi logo ko aage badhayenge?'”. Chauhan admitted to the same and said that lobbying exists everywhere be it award functions, music, films, or reality shows. 

“It’s something you cannot avoid. You do your work, and if you want to get involved, do it to fix things,” Sunidhi added by revealing that if things don’t materialize it doesn’t make her a bad artist.

PIC: Taapsee Pannu’s husband Mathias Boe retires as Indian badminton coach after Chirag Shetty, Satwik Sairajrankireddy couldn’t win medal at Paris Olympics 2024

Taapsee Pannu is currently at the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024. She has taken over the foreign country with her quirky saree looks to support her husband, badminton player Mathias Boe. The athlete was coaching Indian players Chirag Shetty and Satwiksai Raj Rankireddy.

But after the two ace players exited the international tournament, Pannu’s husband penned a warm note for them. In his lengthy Instagram post, he also announced his retirement as a badminton coach. 

Taking to the social media platform, Mathias Boe shared a picture with the two players and penned, “I know the feeling all too well myself. Pushing yourself to the limit everyday, to be in the best shape of your life, and then things doesn’t go as you would have hoped for. I know you guys are gutted, I know how much you wanted to bring a medal back to India, but this time it wasn’t meant to be.”

Take a look:

Encouraging the young players to continue with their hard work, Mathias added, “But you have everything to be proud of, how hard you have worked in this Olympics camp, battling injuries, even taking injections to reduce the pain, that is dedication, that is passion and that is a lot of Heart. You have won so much over the past years and you are going to win so much more in the future.”

Announcing his retirement as a coach, he stated, “For me, my coaching days ends here, I’m not going to continue in India or anywhere else, for now at least. I have spend too much time in a badminton hall and it’s also pretty stressful to be a coach, I’m a tired old man.” 

Soon after he dropped the emotional post, his wife Taapsee Pannu took to the comments section to cheer him up. She humorously penned, “But also now u r a married man. U need to take a step back. I need to come back home from work everyday to ready dinner and cleaning in order. So chop chop!”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Taapsee Pannu will be next seen in Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba with Vikrant Massey and Sunny Kaushal.
