STARDUST INDIA|April 2022
She's been called the 'Shakira of India'. Meet singer Rupali Jagga or 'RJ' as her fans call her and she's been making a lot of ripples in the music scene in India. Recently, Rupali teamed up with MM Kreem for Neeraj Pandey's latest movie ‘Operation Romeo' and practically everybody has been raving about the music. Read on as Rupali Jagga talks about her music journey, her stint on reality TV, working with music legend MM Kreem and more.
“I'm called the 'Shakira of India'. It's probably because I like to perform a lot while singing." - Rupali Jagga

Rupali, I believe they call you the ‘Shakira of India’ and ‘RJ’, tell us how you got these tags?

Yes, they call me the ‘Shakira of India’. RJ are actually my initials i.e., Rupali Jagga. So, my fans love to call me by these names. The title ‘Shakira of India’ was given to me on the sets of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in 2016. This was the show that catapulted me to fame and stardom. Manoj Muntashir who is one of the great lyricists of all the time was the one who actually gave me this title after seeing my performance on the show. He was a judge on the show. It got really popular that even years after doing this show, I’m still called ‘Shakira of India’. It’s probably because I like to perform a lot while singing. I consider it as a compliment because I am huge fan of Shakira - she is somebody I look up to.

You are singing for Hindi films now, in your eventful journey where you have sung live too - I’m sure you have been exposed to a potpourri of wonderful music… How much has your musical journey been impacted by the varied experiences you have had?
