Time to act! Tata Young in New Delhi
Tata Young seems to be all smitten by the Bollywood fever. The singer-turned-actress recently visited Delhi to perform at IIPM fest along with Pritam and his band, Metro. Her version of the track, “Dhoom Machale”, from
the movie Dhoom a few years back, was a chartbuster. But why didn’t we see much of Tata Young after the electrifying track? “That is what I am wondering. Why didn’t I get suitable offers?” she questions.
But it is not only music which attracts her but the Bollywood dreams that twinkle in her eyes. “I would like to act in a Bollywood film. I want to do something like Aishwarya did in Devdas. I also want to run across in a house in a sari and do ‘Dola Re’,” she reveals. When somebody asks her why she wants to be Paro, she blinks her eyes repeatedly, looking confused. It is when someone explains her that the character is called Paro, she smilingly says, “Oh! I could not catch it when I saw the movie. Thanks for telling me.”
Asked who would she like to perform with, she is ready with a quick reply, “Abhishek Bachchan, especially now that he has got a beautiful wife. Lucky him!” she winks. “Or wait! Even better, Amitabh Bachhan as I have already worked with Abhishek,” she thoughtfully explains. It is not only the Bollywood stars that have her head over heel. “I love Ganesha. You know I am a huge Ganesha fan!” she chirps. When the media persons gaze at her surprisingly, she clarifies “Oh! you don’t know Lord Ganesha? I must say you have a lot to catch up.”
Usually Indian music industry is blamed for plagiarising from the English tracks. But Tata Young feels the other way. “A lot of music across the world is influenced by Hindi music. I personally feel that I have learnt a lot from Pritam while doing Dhoom Machale and I am always excited to come back and work here.” But is Indian music industry as lucrative as the West? “Music industry doesn’t pay you well and it’s is the same everywhere. I am here for my creative satisfaction rather than making moolah out of music,” she signs off. Kudos Young lady!
