Thanks to the internet and
social media
, talent never goes unrecognised in the current scenario. From the past few weeks, a video of a
woman
singing ‘O Cheliya’ from Shankar’s ‘Premikudu’ is doing rounds on
WhatsApp and other social networking platforms. Named
Baby
, this Telugu lady hailing from the East Godavari district in
Andhra Pradesh has captured the attention of the nation with her beautiful
rendition
.
Blown away by her talent, Oscar-award winning musician
AR Rahman
who composed the original soundtrack took to
Facebook and shared the video of Baby crooning the popular number. He even appreciated the amateur singer by posting
“Unknown, anonymous, beautiful voice...” <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Farrahman%2Fvideos%2F524106481413224%2F&width=500&show_text=true&height=997&appId" width="500" height="997" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>
Within minutes, Rahman’s post went viral all over the internet with the entire national media covering it. Replying to the maestro’s post, a Facebook user confirmed the credentials of Baby.
