Tollywood beckons Karunya

SHALINI P Times News Network


NC KARUNYA may not have won the Indian Idol title, but he is still ruling the hearts of many. He was the only contestant from the South to have reached the final combat. This young Hyderabadi lad, with his Abhishek Bachchan looks and melodious voice, proved that real talent with perseverance flourishes despite temporary setbacks.

After losing out in the contest, he was first picked by Vidhu Vinodh Chopra to sing a solo in Munna Bhai MBBS II. And now he is flooded with offers from Tollywood too. This includes solo songs for a film produced by Usha Kiran Movies and a number from Something, Something and Ashok. He has also sung a couple of songs for a Tamil film. "I would want to sing with Ashaji (Asha Bhosle) one day. Hope that happens soon," he says with a smile.

Although he lost the contest, he wasn't seen teary eyed on screen. "As I have been saying, singing is my passion, and no failure can make me give it up. I am happy that people have appreciated my talent. For a person coming from southern India where people mostly watch regional television channels, the kind of support I got has been amazing. Now I am a recognisable face," says Karunya, who idolises music legends like Mohd. Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, P Sushila and Ghantasaala.

His passion for music was induced at a very young age. "Since the age of three, my parents have seen me wanting to be a singer. And I will fulfill their dream even at the cost of my studies. When opportunities come calling, I can turn them down at this stage."


Karunya is making waves with his melodious voice

In Tamil as well! That's amazing, he has already sung in 4 different languages - hindi, telugu, kannada and tamil! and about 8-10 songs, all this in a span of just 3 weeks!!!!

Hope the day will soon come when he will sing with Ashaji. The day is also not very far when other leading female singers will want to sing with him! And big stars will soon be insisting that their songs have to be sung by karu.

Way to go Karunya, we are proud of u! 👏 👏
