Sheila came and conquered: Sunidhi

It’s not hard to imagine why Farah Khan wanted only Sunidhi Chauhan to croon Sheila Ki Jawani.... The song is breaking all records and is a favourite with DJs.
It’s even being compared with Munni Badnam Hui..., the other chartbuster this year. Sunidhi is aware of the comparison. “Let people compare. Munni... is a smash hit which is still doing well. But Sheila... is an instant hit.It came and conquered. I want to share the credit with composers Vishal and Shekar, who always come up with something special. The lyrics by Vishal are cute and sensual,” says Sunidhi.
Her last item song, Beedi Jalaile... from Omkara in 2006, engendered similar hysteria. “A song like this was long overdue with Farah. Even for Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om, she wanted me to do an item song, but the films didn’t need one. So, I could finally sing my heart out with this song. The brief given to me was: Feel like Sheila,” she laughs.
The song has pleased Farah so much that she has gifted Sunidhi a designer bag, among other things, as a token of appreciation. “I knew the song would do well, but I had no clue it would become such a hit in a short time. Katrina Kaif deserves all the credit. She looks like a dream and dances like an international star. When Farah showed me the video, I was blown away,” reveals Sunidhi, who considers the compliments she’s received for the song as awards.
