Get to know... Sudhir Yaduvanshi
Playback singer Sudhir Yaduvanshi (@SudhirYaduvanshiMusic) is starstruck over Kailash Kher, wishing he pursued music earlier, and thinking about chole bhature
Currently I am
Enjoying the response to my songs Cha Chadeya, from Amar Prem Ki Prem Kahani; and Rang Hai Ri, from Taaza Khabar Season 2.
High point in life
The pinnacle of my music career is yet to come.
Low point in life
Three years ago, after my band split, I was left without work, feeling helpless.
On my playlist
Teri Diwani, by Kailash Kher; Arambh Hai Prachand, by Piyush Mishra; Shambhu, with Akshay Kumar and Vikram Montrose.
One thing I would never buy
Shiny, showy, junk jewellery.
Today I’m craving
Delhi’s masala chaap and chole bhature.
Last thing I ordered online
An Indian-style blazer for my live show. I’ll look fabulous, even if I forget the lyrics.
App I check before bed
YouTube.
Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self
Nothing. I was just trying to survive. I focused on the process, and it all worked out.
My favourite subjects in school
PE and Hindi—one for dodgeball and the other for dodging my homework!
My hidden talent
I can dance well, whistle any tune, and crush it on the cricket field.
A magic tool I wish I had
A pencil that could make anything I draw come to life.
My favourite Sunday memory
Once, on a band tour at a hill station, we played water volleyball, went rafting, and had “let’s take over the world” chats.
My most star-struck moment
Meeting Kailash Kher. I couldn’t even speak—I just stood there, staring at him.
My favourite bad habit
I’ve left my iPad on flights, my wallet on stage, and sometimes even my phone.
If I could travel back or forward in time, I’d…
Pursue music earlier. I’d be a legend by now.
The best thing about fame
It’s like getting a backstage pass to life. You meet amazing people, get to perform in front of fantastic audiences, and I can finally say my mom and dad are proud of me!
The worst thing about fame
It’s like living in a fishbowl. Everyone wants to peek in and judge your choices. Plus, finding a moment’s peace is nearly impossible. Everyone wants a favour.
