Exclusive! Taaha Shah Badussha Debuts As A Singer

Taaha Shah who is seen in lots of movies has recently tried out his hand at singing. The actor turned singer has sung a patriotic song and the video has reached more than thousands of views. We got in touch with the actor and here’s what he shares with us.

What was your reaction when you were asked to lend your voice to an independence song?

Well at first I was like you must be joking. I mean like if you want to make a flop thing why waste money? But everyone was like nothing would happen it’s a patriotic song. We did pretty many recitals and decided that instead of singing the whole song let’s sing only a few paras since I’m not a professional singer. So Roshan Bhai agreed and here we are. People love it.

Roshan Bhai sings superbly so he and I are no match. I’m nothing in front of him. But I promise next time I will come with the whole song sung by me.

I like to do something that scares me so I did singing.

Did you do any rehearsals and practised on vocals?

I went to Trinity College in London done my studies there. So I have some experience in singing but since this is a classic touch to it being a patriotic song I learned all those requirements and practiced with teachers from Gujarat and my opera teacher. So it was a very beautiful experience.

Speaking of independence day, do you have a childhood memory or in your building some celebrations going on?

Well as far as I remember we use to wear white and fly kites. So it was a fun day. I don’t remember if I could get something special to eat but yes it was a sleep day as it is a holiday.

I was a shy kid. I’m now but I did one. It was in college and after that, I was like why didn’t I do it before? I sang in church like a Chorus. it was a church school. I have memories of going to temples, mosques, churches, and gurudwara.

In the music video, you have depicted we all are one no matter what caste or creed it is.

Yes definitely. We all are one and love being an Indian.

So lastly any web series or shows that we will see you in soon?

Yes, there are two big projects coming web series one is based on a Mughal empire and the second one will pander to the younger generations. I won’t say much but yup that’s what I’m going to do soon.
