Sunidhi Chauhan reveals a music director rejected her by saying her voice 'sounds like a man’s voice on an actress'

It's been more than two decades since Sunidhi Chauhan became a playback singer. The talented musician is a favourite of many and has many chartbuster songs on her list. Now, during a recent interaction, Sunidhi spoke at length about how she was stereotyped and a music director rejected her for having a 'male voice'. He told her that she won't survive in the industry with her voice.

Sunidhi told Bollywood Bubble, "In the initial stage of my career, I did face prejudices. I have heard things like back your bags and go home because you cannot sing 'Lag Jaa Gale' in the original key. He questioned my preparedness. He was a very big music director but thanks to him because then I went home and practised. Then, there was another music director who said that this kind of voice is not going to work. I was told that I have too strong a voice, it sounds like a man’s voice on an actress. So, pack your bags, you won’t survive here."

The talented singer further shared, "That happened but I am only thankful for those comments because they made me a stronger person. But today, they have memory loss. For them, such things never happened."

Meanwhile, Sunidhi Chauhan along with fellow singer Shalmali Kholgade is riding high on the success of their latest single 'Here Is Beautiful'.
