In this episode, we talked about Sunidhi’s project with Coke studio, why suddenly remix songs have increased in India, if she uses Auto-Tune while singing, and how Auto-Tune is used in the music industry today. We then talked about Arijit Singh, why he became so popular, and her experience working with him. We talked about her idols, inspirations, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, and experience doing reality shows. She also shared the dark reality of reality shows.

Towards the end, we talked about surprising things that she has witnessed while doing reality shows, why Indian music has still not become viral worldwide, and why suddenly Pakistani songs are going viral. We then talked about live concerts and what it takes to make such grand shows happen, and she shared stories from her concerts. We ended our conversation by talking about why India doesn’t have young female pop singers, how she manages motherhood and career, and the biggest challenge she faces.
