Juhi set to croon in Kannada

After crooning for a song in 'Pushpaka Vimana', actor Juhi Chawla will be seen again in a Kannada movie titled 'Very Good 10/10'. She has not only appeared in a song in the movie but has sung it too.

Calling the experience as 'memorable', she says that she is happy to return to a familiar space and catch up with some old friends in the film industry. She has now been signed on as the narrator for EPIC Channel's television series 'Sharanam' where she will take the viewers on a eventful journey to some of the most revered pilgrimage places across the country. She has also signed a couple of projects in Bollywood.   In an interview, the actor talks about her new show and how she enjoys juggling work with family time.

Tell us about your new show 'Sharanam'.

I was very excited when I was asked to come on board for 'Sharanam' because I found it to be a very enriching experience. I am sure that everybody who watches it will be charmed by what they see. The show takes you on a trip to some of the most revered pilgrimage places across the country such as Somnath Temple, Shirdi, Velankanni church and the Golden Temple. There is something about these places that really takes your breath away.

How was the experience of narrating the show?

I enjoyed it because you get an insight into the history of the place, the stories that made it so popular and the mythological aspects. I wish I could travel to these places for the show but with so many people there, I am sure we will not be allowed to enter with our cameras.

What made you sign the song in 'Very Good 10/10'?

It is a children's film and the song is similar to those sung during the morning assembly in schools. I liked the tone of the song. The director wanted me to sing the song and appear in it, which I gladly agreed to do.

How was the experience of singing the song?

I made an effort to understand the meaning of every word that I was singing and worked towards getting the pronunciation right. I am particular that I must know the meaning and essence of the song before I sing it.

Do you come to Bengaluru very often?

I used to travel to Bengaluru quite often, but now that frequency has reduced. I now come for guest appearances and IPL matches. But whenever I am in Bengaluru, I never leave without giving Ravichandranji a call. He is the only friend I have there. I remember how, during the shooting of 'Pushpaka Vimana', he asked me what I wanted. The only thing that I told him was to bring some food from his house which he gladly did.
