Parineeti Chopra proves to be an all-rounder in her next!

The heartwarming scientist from Hasee Toh Phasee, Parineeti Chopra is now turning into a singer for Meri Pyaari Bindu, which also features Ayushmann Khurrana. It seems like she is going the extra mile as she attempts playback singing for an ‘unusual’ track.

Here’s what Sachin Singhvi, one-half of the powerhouse singing duo Sachin-Jigar recounts from that day “When she walked into the studio, we were hoping to get her to do a fair job at the least, leave the rest to us. But when she went behind the mic, we knew we wouldn’t need the help of technology.”

“It is about a sweet agreement between two lovers who are parting and the song carries the narrative forward. She sings for both, the guy and girl,” shares Sachin.

Parineeti, a trained classical musician, had to get some flair and flourish in her songs for the film. And Sachin says that he was pretty impressed for she did fairly well for someone who hadn’t done any kind of playback singing before.

“She has sung bits for the film’s background score too. But for a full-fledged song, we decided to put her into a routine, where she had to devote at least an hour daily for riyaaz with us. That continued for over a month. Even when we weren’t available, she would do it on her own. Initially, she was scared about pulling it off, but with more practice and jamming, she grew confident,”.

Unlike most cases, where actors turned singers for a musical sequence or two in their movies, Parineeti had no choice as her ability to sing was crucial for her character “It’s not a gimmick. She has the dubbing experience, so she got the tonal expressions right. And since she is an actor, getting into the mood of the song was no big deal. Eventually, it was her preparation that impressed us. It [recording] was over in three hours flat. For someone who has never done playback, I think that’s quite something.”
