In Conversation With Nitika Krishna, The Ace Singer Chinmayi Sripada Spills The Notes On Her Music, Creative Process, And #MeToo, Saying, ‘I Signed Up For The Struggle, No Regrets’

- 

the past couple of years, I have been doing them here. I am grateful for the love I have gotten here, especially after Ye Maaya Chesave. You know, people found my email and started telling me how they have watched the film 50 times and listened to the songs. Rahul says, ‘If you give the audience here fantastic films, they will give you the same, if not much more love.’

What is your creative process as a singer?

Nothing special — someone calls me, tells me what time to be at the studio, there are the lyrics, I sing, and leave. My mind actually thinks of a lot of things, like my babies, dogs, house, this, that… My dogs are Uppli, Jiloo, Bobby and Potato. Bobby is the most hyper; he is uncontrollable. (laughs) Uppli actually used to come along for recordings. Now he’s like, ‘Let me be, I’m not in all this drama.’ He has come for so many recordings, has been near the mic, and so many people have been shocked. Even during Kaathalae Kaathalae (Tamil song), he was in the studio.

Is there any musical genre you really want to try?
