Richa Sharma – The Bollywood Voice That Travels
Through Your Soul!
Richa Sharma began singing at the age of eight
with Jaagran singing. Her singing skills were honed by Gandharva Mahavidyalaya
in Delhi. Richa’s parents always encouraged their daughter to sing at jaagrans
and other musical concerts. However, Richa never thought she would ever be
singing for Hindi Movies due to the fact that her voice was not that typical
soft voice meant for Bollywood heroines.
Richa’s story in Bollywood began when Sawan Kumar Tak saw her perform `Mata Ki
Chowki' in Mumbai and impressed by her voice, decided to use her voice in his
1996 movie `Salma Pe Dil Aa Gaya'. After that there was no looking back as Richa
started getting offers for other movies.
Richa was thrilled and hoped to sing more heroine numbers in movies when she was
invited to sing Kahin Aag Lage track in movie Taal which was filmed on Aishwarya
Roy. Some music directors did approach her after that – but to her
disappointment, for only certain special songs. Well, the fact is Richa does not
have a typically common voice – rather, she possesses an unusually soul
penetrating voice that awakens the heart and soul and makes you feel!
Richa’s soulful voice has been used in several movies including top movies such
as Taal, Khaki, Kaal, UmraoJaan, and Baabul. However, she is still waiting for
the day when the tradition of using Lata Mangeshkar type of voice for the
heroines will be replaced by Richa, Jaspinder or Alisha style of voice.
Amongst Richa’s heart-touching tracks, listen to the Bidaai song from Baabul in
which Richa sang and recorded (originally) for 15 minutes without any musical
accompaniment. Music director Aadesh Srivastav wanted to include atleast one
musical instrument but Richa insisted on no musical instruments supporting her
magical voice. The resulting track spoke volumes about Richa’s talent and voice.
Other Richa Sharma numbers posted on Mumtazworld.com also testify to Richa’s
soul quenching voice and talent!
