Sukriti and Prakriti Kakar have conquered the hearts of many with their hits like Kar gayi chull, Katra katra and Hawa hawa. They are perhaps the first successful twin vocalists in Bollywood. In this freewheeling conversation with Harsha Prerna, the prodigious duo share with us snippets from their life, career and music choices.
EX: Your recent performance at the kala Ghoda Festival was a raging success! what’s the secret behind this marvellous coordination between the two of you?
Sukriti: I think coordination has always been inbuilt between us and it’s always existed. We both started singing at a very young age, and together. Our taste in music is very similar but singing styles are different so that gives us a lot of scope to variate and improvise for our live gigs and concerts. We end up doing a a lot of mashups across various genres and that’s what our USP is. And performing together on stage since the last few years has made the telepathic connection in our music very strong and we always are in sync with each other.
PRAKRITI: The secret is that we have been performing for the last four years and also that we were born as twins and unlike most people who choose to perform together, we already have a telepathy which obviously reflects in our singing and coordination. So yeah this is a success (chuckles). It was the headline act and it was a Bombay gig and we are Bombay girls so a lot of people came to watch us.
EX: What according to you is the best and the worst part about being twins?
S: The best part is you literally share a house and a career with your best friend and there’s no one who understands you better without even expressing it. We are each others biggest strength and weakness and it’s a constant support system right at home.
However, for the worst part, I have to say is the identity crisis and daily comparisons it comes along with and how sometimes everyone confuses us. Sometimes it gets annoying but now we’ve made peace with it!
