She created a stir with her folksy voice in Billo Rani, in the film Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal and her bubbly rawness added charm to the popular track Show me your Jalwa in Madhuri Dixit’s comeback film Aaja Nachle. However it’s not just Bollywood and playback singing that Richa Sharma is busy with. Recently, she has joined a bunch of seasoned singers in yet another reality show called Dhoom Macha De. “It’s a show for performers and all the singers have the independence to sing anything that they want within the theme given,” explains Sharma, who is competing with 10 other singers, including stalwarts like Kamaal Khan, Anaida, Suneeta Rao and Baba Sehgal.

So are reality shows the way to prance back into the limelight for out-of-work singers? “I’ve had plenty of releases lately,” interrupts Sharma, a tad defensively. Her singing career took off in 1999 with Samajh Gayi in Taal and she has sung for films like Saawariya and Om Shanti Om recently. “I’m not in the recording studio every night, but I’m satisfied with the kind of work I’m getting,” she smiles. Sharma also has an album planned for this year. “It’s a seven track Sufi compilation,” she reveals.

On the film front there are six releases lined up, including Shyam Benegal’s Mahadev, Adnan Sami’s dance number in Sadiyaan, AR Rahman’s qawwali for Khinza and Pritam’s club song for Jannat. In the future Sharma also has her eyes set on composing music. She says, “I love to compose and have made a few Sufi tunes in the past, but I will wait for some time before I really get into composing.” That might just take a bit longer with the reality show keeping her busy.
