Singer-cum-composer Shibani Kashyap has mesmerized fans with her songs like 'Kya Nazakat hai',
'Hakim Tara Chand' and her the latest chart buster 'Zinda Hoon Mein' recently revealed that she finds
composing far more challenging than singing.
"I have been singing ever since my childhood. It comes naturally to me. But composing is more of a
challenge. It's like a song which becomes like a creation, like your baby. And if people love it, there is
no happiness which can surpass that feeling because it's your song which becomes a star. The
singer does not really matter, it is song which should really do well," she said.
Kashyap, who draws her inspiration from veteran singer Asha Bhosle, recently stepped into the world
of Bollywood by composing and singing for three movies 'Waisa Bhi Hota Hai', 'Mr ya Miss' and 'Zinda'
and also set audiences grooving to the beats of her song 'Zinda Hoon Mein', said that she owed a lot
to Sanjay Gupta and actor Sanjay Dutt for their unfailing support and belief in her abilities.
"I have had a wonderful experience. I have had a smile on my face ever since I got this project. I owe a
lot to Sanjay Gupta and Sanjay Dutt because they both believed in me as a musician, as a singer
and as a performer. They chose me to do two songs for this film and I am very thrilled. The songs
have clicked which is where my reward is," she added.
The singer's journey in Bollywood has just begun and she now is looking forward to working on two
more films, as well as completing her new album.
"There are two more films coming up. One is '1971' and the other one is 'Dubai Returned'. The next
thing would of course be my new album which I will be beginning work on," she said.
