dhoom machale Tata Young wants to be Paro

But why haven’t we seen more of Tata Young after that electrifying track? “That is what I also wonder. Why didn’t I get suitable offers?” she asks.

But now Young has decided to go beyond music. “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 the house in a sari and do ‘Dola Re’,” she says. Asked who she would like to perform with, pat comes the reply, “Abhishek Bachchan. Or wait! Even better, Amitabh Bachchan as I have already worked with Abhishek.”

The Indian music industry is usually blamed for plagiarising English tracks. But Young feels it is the other way round.

“A lot of music is influenced by Hindi music. I feel that I have learnt a lot while doing ‘Dhoom Machale’ and I am always excited to work here.”

But is the Indian music industry as lucrative as the West?

“The music industry doesn’t pay well and it’s the same everywhere. I am here for my creative satisfaction rather than the money,” she says.
