The

singer

- who has lent her voice to

Bollywood

films like ‘Aashiqui 2’ and ‘

Ek Tha Tiger

’ – chats with BT about the news and how it’s made her feel. She says, “Yes, a chapter named Palak Muchhal has been added to school textbooks of the CBSE and Maharashtra Board. I truly feel honoured, and most specially, because I always believed that when you see a person smiling and know that you are the reason behind that smile, that

happiness

is unmatchable. I have been experiencing such joy and happiness reading about others ever since I was a child. And reading my story – even if a single kid reads and gets inspired by it and experiences the same happiness as me – I feel the purpose will be fulfilled. So yes, I really feel blessed and honoured to be featured in the textbooks.”
