It's Playback Time …For Juhi

Brand endorsements and acting assignments are a steady factor in her kitty. And now the former Ms India (1984), model and actress has added one more facet to her forte.

Juhi Chawla did train in classical singing, but the thought of playback rendition still seemed a daunting prospect. That tuneful block, though, is out of the way. Thanks to 'Sukhmani', a Punjabi flick starring Gurdas Maan in which Chawla has crooned two song numbers in her own mellifluous voice.

"Earier, I'd done a classical rendition on stage in front of my Guruji," admits Juhi in a Press chat. "But I have done playback singing for the first time. When 'Sukhmani' was offered, it was Gurdas who convinced me to sing for the movie."

Freshly inspired, Chawla asserts that, "I do my 'riyaaz' everyday and I am open to singing offers." Clearly, Chawla's singing a different tune now ….
