 A bright-eyed youngster
who wants to use her superior vocals to further
her career. A dreamlike offer which leads her
to don the greasepaint and share screen space
with one of the demi gods of Indian cinema. Vasundhara
Das has a nice little fairytale etched out for
her life. From the gleam in her eye as a teenager,
to her film offers, Vasundhara has achieved it
all. And she is thirsting for more.
Vasundhara's vocals have been blessed by the gods
themselves. She had made up her mind to pursue singing
as a career when in school, and invested serious time
and effort on it. She trained under Pandit Parameshwara
Hegde of Keherwana Gharana, and carried her interest in
singing to college, where she was a permanent and
reassuring fixture on stage, and in choirs. She won
accolades by the hundreds, and this assured a firm
foundation for the future. She also learnt to sing in
other languages like Spanish.
Vasundhara's first
celluloid break came with the Tamil film Mudhalvan,
under the musical baton of A R Rahman. She voiced
sensuous siren Sushmita Sen for Shakalaka baby, and the
song was a resounding success. Meanwhile, Vasundhara's
life was branching out to include another facet -
acting. She was initially approached for Mani Rathnam's
Alaipayuthey, but the role eventually went to Shalini.
But the story did not end
there. Kamal Haasan wanted a fresh face to play his
second wife in his mammoth labour of love Hey Ram.
The role catapulted her to the higher eclelons of
cinema. Though the film sank without a trace, as the
sprightly Mythili, Vasundhara had made a dent.
Meanwhile, she was also making inroads into the music
circuit, and released her first private album, Meri
Jaan. The album was an eclectic blend of myriad
elements and worked very well for her. |
