Varun Badola loves singing
Varun Badola (Sandip of Aek Chabhi Hai Padoss Mein) loves to sing. Even though he is not a trained singer, Varun has sung songs for his new show Aek Chabhi..., which began last year on STAR Plus.
Varun says: "I have sung a song for this show. I like singing. I love music but I don't have time to train myself as a singer because I am very busy doing my show. I like to listen to classical and semi classical music. In classical music, my favourite singer is Pt Bhimsen Joshi. In Bollywood music I liked all the old singers like Talat Mehmood, Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. I also like singers from the new generation like Sonu Nigam and Richa Sharma. I have a collection with every kind of music."
Badola is resigned to the fact he will never be a great singer saying, "Learning any instrument or singing is not easy. If I really wanted to learn then I should have started 20 years back. Now it is too late for me. I don't have the time to learn all these things. If given a chance I would love to sing with Rajeshwari. In Aek Chabhi as well I would like to continue singing."
Rajeshwari, Varun's wife and a known actress herself says: "Though Varun is not a trained singer he can sing well. He has sung a few songs for his show Aek Chabhi. I think he is very good at singing. We would surely like to sing together, if such an offer comes."
Rajeshwari and Varun met each other during shoot of a film in 2004. Within six months they decided to marry and they tied the knot three years ago. Varun and Rajeshwari have participated in Nach Baliye's first seasons. Varun has also written the script and directed some episodes of Aek Chabhi... His wife is a known actress and a trained dancer. She is also a well known singer who has cut a few albums and is presently working on a new one. Rajeshwari is not doing any shows at the moment but she is busy hosting a morning show for Big Fm, Delhi. She is also busy doing stage performances.
