With her single Thug Ranjha being one of the hottest party tracks to shake your leg to, After Hrs was curious to know more about the crooner. Akasa Singh obliged...

Dance, dance!

I’m not trained in dancing, but a lot of people who saw Thug Ranjha have asked me if I am. I trained for a month under Karishma Chavan, the choreographer of the video. So, the credit goes to her if people thought I was good! (laughs) I do love to dance like all Punjabis do, but dancing in parties is very different from dancing professionally in music videos. Karishma had to work very hard on me but she made me look like a dancing queen at the end! 

Act it out

I have done a bit of acting before I ventured into music. I started acting before I got into full-fledged singing., I was doing a Punjabi soap along with Poonam Dhillon and Kanwaljeet Singh. This was right after I finished school. There was a time when I could audition for acting roles or start doing music gigs. I chose the latter and it so happened that singing always worked out. I did get a lot of acting offers and if something really nice comes my way, I definitely won’t think twice before saying yes. That has always been the ultimate goal, to do a musical and act and sing for myself.

I admire...

There are so many contemporaries of mine whom I admire, that it would be wrong to take just one name. I think Neeti Mohan, Jonita Gandhi and Shalmali Kholgade are such amazing talents. Jasmine Sandlas is one of the best songwriters we have in Punjabi pop. Internationally, Beyonce and Adele are right up there for me. I really admire Dua Lipa. Her track New Rules, was the zone I wanted for Thug Ranjha. I also really like Jessie J.
