Singer Sunidhi Chauhan revealed on Shekhar Tonite why she is quitting reality shows, saying, “Mujhe laga yeh meri jagah nahin hai,” citing the blurred line between music production and reality TV. She also emphasized that she has never faced negative behavior from the audience during live performances, only love and respect.
Singer Sunidhi Chauhan spoke about why she stays away from reality shows. During a candid conversation with veteran actor Shekhar Suman on ‘Shekhar Tonight’, the host pointed out that the star has made a deliberate effort to stay away from controversy and has not been seen judging singing reality shows for a while.
Sunidhi emphasized that this was a decision she made herself, saying: “I have been like that for a very, very long time.
But then I stopped because mujhe laga ki yeh meri jagah nahin hai.”
Sunidhi on blurring the lines between music and television
When Shekhar asked her why she took this decision, Sunidhi explained, “It’s very sad. Earlier, auto-tune or melodies were used in songs to get a certain effect. But you can’t do that in a reality show where you’re supposed to be real and honest. Jab woh wahan shift ho gaya, mujhe laga yeh kahin aur ja raha hai…which I can’t participate in.”
About the challenges artists face during live performances
The conversation between Shekhar and Sunidhi also touched on the difficulties that artistes often face during live performances. Bringing up past incidents involving singers like KK and Sonu Nigam, Shekhar asked Sunidhi if she had faced similar situations on stage. In response, Sunidhi expressed her gratitude as she had never faced anything like this before. She said, “Main bahut Lucky hoon because aaj tak mere saath is Tarah ka behavior maine nahin dekha hai. Bahut pyaar dya logon ne… Sirf pyaar hi nahin, samman bhi dete hain (I am very lucky that I have never seen this kind of behavior with me before.)
“People gave a lot of love… not only love, but respect as well.”
