‘Neha Bhasin and Aditi Singh Sharma would be my muses’: Mamta Sharma

The crooner of spicy numbers such as Munni Badnam (Dabangg, 2010), Fevicol Se (Dabangg 2, 2012) and Taang Uthake (Housefull 3, 2016) among others dropped a single, Song Change (feat. J Hind) recently. Mamta says about the infectious dance track, “We mostly shot nights and it was difficult to stay energised till the wee hours. But it feels so great that it got 10 million views so quickly.” The songstress shares some of her favourites... 

5 DANCE SONGS I’M GROOVING TO

Akh Lad Jaave — LoveYatri 

Kamariya — Stree 

Bom Diggy Diggy — Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety 

Hauli Hauli by Garry Sandhu 

Aa Re Pritam Pyaare — Rowdy Rathore 

A still of Kamariya from Stree
 

MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITE SONG

Hungama Ho Gaya from Anhonee (1973), which was sung by Asha Bhosle and starred Bindu. Its lyrics, tune, music arrangement and the combination of Ashaji and RD Burman make it so awesome. 

MY FAVOURITE SINGER

Ashaji because she is so versatile and sings ghazals, bhajans, sad songs, romantic tracks and cabarets with equal ease. She also performs these live as beautifully. If I ever have to sing a song by her, it would be Nisha from Sanam Teri Kasam.

MY DREAM COLLABORATOR

Sanjay Leela Bhansaliji because he has the same kind of passion for the music in his projects as he has for the direction and production. The soundtrack blends so well with the film each time. 

IF I WERE A COMPOSER, MY MUSE WOULD BE

Neha Bhasin and Aditi Singh Sharma because these two beauties are gifted with such lovely voices and the way they use it is just amazing.
