She lent her voice for the song at the Royal Stag Barrel Select MTV Unplugged Season 6. “As a singer and musician, I enjoy challenging myself to push the boundaries and keep trying to do something new. The song ‘Ranjha Ranjha’ is an unconventional choice for me I would think, especially in a setup like Unplugged,” Shruti said in a statement.
