Shweta Pandit talks exclusively to Gianysh Toolsee in a relaxed and chilled out interview about the Jai Ho tours and the Nobel Peace Prize Concert, where she performed along with A.R Rahman in Norway in December 2010.
The bubbly and talented singer started off the year with three immensely popular songs, which include the melodic “Rubaru (Kyun Faaslein Hain)”, Yamla Pagla Deewana’s smash hit “Charha De Rang” with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Ali Parvez and the racy “Ringa Ringa Roses” from Yeh Dooriyan.
She had the chance to meet and perform with a line-up of international stars including Herbie Hancock, India Arie, Florence + The Machine. The list of performers also included Colbie Caillat, Robyn, Young Norwegian Strings, Barry Manilow, Jamiroquai and Final act. The Nobel Peace Prize Concert was held in Oslo on the 11th December 2010 in honour of the Nobel Peace Prize laureates for 2010, Liu Xiaobo. The concert was hosted by Denzel Washington and Anne Hathaway.
Shweta shares her experiences with me, “It was a delight to meet Herbie Hancock (the jazz legend) and her wife. He said he loved Indian sound and Rahman was his favourite. Rahman sir of course was his great admirer too.”
