Suneeta Rao Part 2: From Musical Theatre to becoming Indian Pop Diva

Suneeta Rao, the Indian pop sensation, danced her way into our hearts and sang her way to fame during the vibrant 1980s and 1990s. Her timeless hit, “Paree Hoon Main,” from the album “Dhuan” (1991), remains a beloved Navratri anthem even today. In our conversation through Suneeta’s versatile musical career, we witness the birth of Hindi indie pop, where artists fearlessly blended folk traditions with modern beats marrying a myriad of influences. The stage was her canvas, and she painted it with creative videos, theatrical performances and choreography. From then to now, we see how the touring landscape has evolved, performance technique awareness strung together with interesting behind-the-scene stories.
