Sarika’s brand new single ‘Punjabi Suit’ out now!

'Punjabi Suit' ArtworkPunjabi Suit, the brand new single from Sarika Ft. Jeeti, is now available on iTunes and all other good digital stores. The release comes exactly a year after her debut single Morni came out. Sarika both sang and composed the hit, whilst the very talented Jeeti produced it. It was written by lyrical master, Tari Banwali Puria.

Since the release of Morni, Sarika has been studying Indian classical music and working on her vocal training. She has been passionate about music since a young age and was born into a family of music-lovers who exposed her to many different genres of music. At just five years old, Sarika could sing in three different languages – Punjabi, English and Hindi, and was also proving to have quite a talent for dancing. She said: “Whilst other kids were playing with their toys or watching cartoons I would be singing songs in front of the mirror all day or putting on a show for my family.”

Sarika’s musical influences cover a wide range, but she particularly looks up to Punjabi singer Surinder Kaur: “I love Surinder Kaur and her music. She was the first Punjabi artist I had listened to and she is probably the main reason why I started singing in Punjabi. Her lyrics and her music taught me so much about Punjabi culture.”

At just 13 years old, Sarika wrote her very first song as a way to express herself after suffering a family tragedy, through which she discovered her passion for song writing. Two years later, at the tender age of 15, Sarika recorded her very first song, which she wrote and composed herself, in a professional recording studio.

During her schooldays, Sarika studied perfoming arts, through which she gained experience and training in lots of different forms of music and dance including Ballet, Bhangra, Contemporary, Giddha, Hip Hop and Jazz.

Sarika has taken part in many musical competitions and shows across the UK, and in 2009, Sarika reached the final of Brit Asia Superstar.

Sarika’s opportunity to launch her career with the release of her debut single Morni in 2012, after she met Nirmal Sidhu and accepted into his vocal training academy. It was with his and Nav Sidhu’s support that she was able to get her career off the ground, which is going from strength to strength.

You can buy Sarika’s second single Punjabi Suit on iTunes and all other good digital stores, and you can watch the official video below!

Meet The Chaudhry’s – Britain’s first animated sitcom based on an Indian family

The Indian society in the UK is eagerly awaiting its latest addition! Get ready to meet a quirky Indian family unlike any other – and grab a peek at ‘The Chaudhry’s’ coming soon to your TV screens. Randeva Productions have launched their trailer for the highly-anticipated British animated sitcom ‘The Chaudhry’s’ that brings to life a unique multicultural family in the heart of London in one hilarious rollercoaster of a ride!

‘The Chaudhry’s’ is a home-grown British animated situational comedy that draws on the elements of everyday British life, antics and humour to create an explosive package of rib-tickling gags and laughs. The show chronicles the antics of the Chaudhury family – some of whom are still trying to get to grips with the British culture, some are trying to relive their youth in the different culture, while there are yet some who are so distant from Indian culture that it creates a host of awkward situations. The family includes a drunken parrot who is mostly cheeky, wholly offensive and usually up to mischief.

‘The Chaudhury’s’ is an amusing reflection on multicultural Britain. Randeva Productions have deftly incorporated all elements of British life encountered by immigrant families such as the integration into British life, and the acceptance of British culture vis-à-vis traditional and conservative Indian values.

Randeva Productions have drawn on classic TV animated sitcoms for inspiration when creating ‘The Chaudhry’s’ such as ‘The Simpsons’, ‘American Dad’, ‘South Park’, ‘Family Guy’ and British offerings like ‘The Inbetweeners’, ‘Only Fools and Horses’, ‘Goodness Gracious Me’, ‘Father Ted’, ‘Black Adder’ and ‘Monkey Dust’.

‘The Chaudhry’s’ have already created a buzz among fans of animated adult comedies and the industry  in general who are looking forward to the unique show that is one-of-a-kind not just for being a British home-grown animated TV show but also because it focuses on the antics of an Indian family for the very first time.

Watch this space for more information on ‘The Chaudhry’s’!  You can also follow ‘The Chaudhry’s’ on Facebook and Twitter.

Shilpa Shetty still to decide on name for her baby boy

After giving birth to a bouncing baby boy only a few days ago on Monday May 21st, it’s not surprising that Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is yet to decide on a name for her little bundle of joy; although the proud parents have come up with a couple of nicknames including “Baby K” and “Little Raj” to tide them over while they consider his official name.

 

Speaking for the first time since the birth of his son, delighted dad Raj Kundra revealed that he and Shilpa will choose a name using the alphabet chosen by his mother-in-law, Sunanda Shetty, who is very knowledgeable on the art of astrology and numerology. The 36-year-old businessman said he and his wife of three years will choose a name once Sunanda has decided on the baby boy’s alphabet.

 

As for the celebrations to mark the birth of the yet-to-be-named Baby Kundra, businessman Raj says the couple will plan a celebration once Shilpa and their new addition are discharged from hospital.

 

While the Big Brother winner and Bollywood actress is still recovering following the birth of her first baby earlier this week, Shilpa Shetty couldn’t resist posting a short statement via her Twitter account, clearly expressing her delight following the birth for her baby boy. The actress wrote, “Ecstatic is an understatement” to describe her reaction to becoming a mother for the first time.
