“Happy Bhag Jayegi was the most exciting work because I have recorded this song just 20 days before its release. So, this was a quick release and Sohail is really a talented music director of new generation. It is such a happy song,” she says about the party song.


The versatile singer has sung a Marathi song in the film Taleem and a Punjabi single La Layee Mundri as a tribute to famous Punjabi singer Ranjit Kaur. About the Taleem song, she says, “I’m thankful to Praful (Karlekar) [music director of Taleem], he helped me a lot and also Mandar (Cholkar) [lyricist of the album]. They are good friends I’ve had since 12 years. From them, I got to know how to pronounce Marathi words properly. They told me about the situation, and then I delivered myself.”

About La Layee Mundri, she says, “I have become pretty popular in Punjab because of a lot of my recent songs. Since I am doing so many Punjabi movies, so I thought of coming with a Punjabi single. This is a small dedication or a tribute to Bibi Ranjit Kaur, because she has been a legend. Today’s generation is not aware of who Bibi Ranjit Kaur is.”

About her early days in the industry, Tarannum says, “I have been in the music industry since the past 12 years. I have really seen the ups and downs of the industry. Initially it was difficult during the struggling period. But I want to thank God and Anand Raj Anand sir who gave me my break in Chahat Ek Nasha in 2005’.

Tarannum then worked with Shankar Ehsaan Loy in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Ram Sampath in Fukrey, Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami, and Sohail Sen in Ek Tha Tiger, What’s Your Raashee. On her dream list of composers are AR Rahman, Vishal Shekhar, Salim Sulaiman and Pritam.
