Shibani Kashyap finally gets her due credit

Saturday, February 03, 2007


A little birdie tells us that Shibani Kashyap is on Cloud Nine these days. And she has all the reasons in the world to be as well. It is no mean achievement and honour for any artiste getting nominated for the Best Upcoming Music Director in the forthcoming Stardust Awards scheduled for February 18.

Shibani, who has always maintained a low profile, could not escape the media glare with the brilliant music she delivered recently. Her sensationalizing song Zinda Hoon Main from the movie Zinda had the whole country dancing to her tunes. And now, she has been nominated for the same song along with eminent music maestros of the day like Atif Aslam and Mithun.


"Its so exhilarating to be nominated along with these people who have produced such great music. I am myself a fan of their music. And after all these years of hard work, it is finally beginning to pay off. I am glad people have liked and appreciated my music," says a vibrant Shibani.

Shibani is also often remembered for her song Sajna Aa Bhi Ja from the movie Waisa Bhi Hota Hai 2, and now she is all geared up for the forthcoming movies like Amrit Sagar's 1971 and Aditya Bhattacharya's Dubai Returns.

Shibani may or may not win the award, but she has surely won all our hearts! Any doubts? -

Shibani Kashyap to perform live on INS Vikranth

Thursday, March 01, 2007

Yet another feather in Shibani Kashyap's much-adorned hat! This time the talented singer is all set to perform live INS Vikranth for the music launch of Amrit Sagar's forthcoming film 1971!

Shibani, who has also sung couple of songs, including the title track, has composed the music for 1971. The movie is based on a group of six soldiers who try to flee from a Pakistani camp and return to their homeland and stars actors like Manoj Bajpai, Ravi Kishan, Chitaranjan Giri, Kumud Mishro and Manav Kaul. After a roller coaster ride with teen music director Akash Sagar, Shibani has finally arrived and is quite upbeat about performing on a number 'Sehlenge Hum ' from the film's album.

But what sets this music launch apart from the others is its exotic location. The launch is scheduled to take place on the INS Vikranth. This location has been chosen to link it with the movie's theme, as this ship had been used in the 1971 Indo-Pak war.

Shibani, who was recently nominated the best upcoming music director in the Stardust Awards this year, is now looking forward to making some good quality music and working with the best in the industry. Another movie, which she has worked for is Aditya Bhattacharya's Dubai Returns.

From India Today, February 26th International Edition ---

FEMININE TOUCH

She won rave reviews for her title track in Zinda and now Shibani Kashyap will don the hat of a Bollywood composer. The pop singer will turn music director for Sanjay Gupta's Dus Kahaniyan and the Irrfan Khan starrer Dubai Return for which she will both compose and sing. "In the West, it is natural for musicians to write, compose and sing their own songs. Bollywood has some wonderful singers but women composers should also come to the forefront," she says. Here's to some more feminine appeal.

Kudos to Shibani for taking a different step!

Well, after almost 50 years, we are witnessing an entry of a lady in a field completely dominated by males and no one has any comments to make? I am surprised.
