What Iulia Loves About Salman

'Salman has supported me, but at the same time, let me have my own journey.'

- 

Iulia Vantur has come into her own as a singer with back-to-back song releases.

Her newly released song Tera Tha Tera Hoon with Arjun Kanungo has become a hit.

She also had a successful US tour with Guru Randhawa and Kanika Kapoor recently.

It took me a year to convince myself that it's okay to sing here. Salman was mainly the one who encouraged me to sing. He made me believe in myself.

You had a successful US tour with Guru Randhawa and Kanika Kapoor. Any last-minute stage fright while singing live to a huge crowd?

Of course, I was very nervous!

I was the last addition to the tour so I had less time to prepare.

I had to rehearse before the show.

The songs had choreography also. There were different dancers for every show.

I had to make sure the dancers knew the dance steps.

But once I was on stage, all the tension was gone.

The audience was incredible and they received us so well. We had shows all over the US.

This was the first big event after the pandemic and people were craving for music and dance, so it was an amazing experience. The crowd was singing, dancing, and sharing the same energy.

Guru Randhawa and Kanika Kapoor are so talented. I love them as performers. They used to call me on stage and make me sing with them, so it was a lot of fun.

You seem to be on a roll with back-to-back song releases. Would you call this an exciting phase of your career?

Yes. Finally, the songs which were waiting for so long to be released are coming out.

All these years, I just worked, but my work was not showcased.

Sometimes the blockages move away and there is a flow; I think this is happening now.

I am so happy that finally my work can be seen.
