Shilpa Rao: I would love to sing for Tabu

Shilpa Rao has sung some wonderful songs like Anjaana Anjaani, Jazba, Gustakh Dil, Kalank, Ghungroo and many more. She has done playback for actresses like Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Rani Mukerji, Vidya Balan, late Sridevi, and others.


We recently met Shilpa and asked her which actress she would like to playback for, to which she said, “Tabu, I always say this. I would love to sing for Tabu someday. She is just gorgeous.” When probed her if she would like to dedicate any song to the actress, Shilpa said, “No, I want to sing a song for her and then I will dedicate that to her. I really want to sing for her, she is so lovely.”

From the past few years, a lot of actors are trying their hands into singing and there were singers who were upset about it. When we asked Shilpa what she has to say about actors turning singers, she said, “There are a lot of people who feel that when you are doing music it has to be technically right. But music is much beyond that. It needs to move you or reach your heart in some way, and if an actor is singing and it does that to you what’s wrong with it. I always believe that anyone can sing and anyone can make you feel that song.”

Last year, we heard Shilpa’s voice in songs like Kalank and Ghungroo (War). Both the songs received a great response. Well, recently, Shilpa’s single Those Words, an all-women project, was released and it is also getting a good response.

Highlights:

  • AI can make thousands of podcast episodes every week with very few people.
  • Making an AI podcast episode costs almost nothing and can make money fast.
  • Small podcasters cannot get noticed. It is hard for them to earn.
  • Advertisements go to AI shows. Human shows get ignored.
  • Listeners do not mind AI. Some like it.

A company can now publish thousands of podcasts a week with almost no people. That fact alone should wake up anyone who makes money from talking into a mic.

The company now turns out roughly 3,000 episodes a week with a team of eight. Each episode costs about £0.75 (₹88.64) to make. With as few as 20 listens, an episode can cover its cost. That single line explains why the rest of this story is happening.
