Sunidhi Chauhan : ‘You don’t want to hurt anybody’s ego’
Sunidhi Chauhan, one of India’s most celebrated playback singers, recently opened up about not receiving payments for several songs she recorded in movies. Despite her significant contributions to Bollywood music, Chauhan revealed that discussing compensation is often sensitive, as it might hurt egos in the industry.
This issue highlights a concerning trend where artists, even those as established as Chauhan, sometimes struggle with financial recognition for their work. The singer has consistently evolved with the times, always striving to remain relevant in the music scene.
However, the financial challenges she faces shed light on the broader issues of how artists are valued and compensated in the entertainment industry. Chauhan’s situation underscores the vulnerability of even the most successful artists when it comes to financial matters in the industry.
Despite her impressive track record and ability to adapt to changing musical trends, she faces the unfortunate reality that many artists do: being undervalued in a field where ego and power dynamics often overshadow fairness. This calls for greater awareness and advocacy for artists’ rights and fair compensation.
