MUMBAI: Pop sensation Dhvani Bhanushali, in a heartfelt revelation on Lilly Singh’s podcast, opened up about the aftermath of her breakout hit Vaaste, and how she was always asked to prove more — despite massive success.
“I was about 21 when Vaaste happened, I didn’t quite understand the kind of attention I was getting because people around me didn’t think, except my dad, that it was such a big deal. It’s a big deal for a woman in India as a musician to do so well. If, the success is coming in, the treatment should change a little, it should get better. The opportunities should get better, and that I don’t think sort of happened for me.”
Despite delivering one of the biggest pop hits of the decade, followed by two more songs that hit a billion views, along with songs trending on social media & garnering big numbers on streaming platforms, Bhanushali shared that she often felt held back — being told she needed "one more song" to truly break through.
She added, “They kept me in the same place. I have been told this a lot of times that one more song, and if that reaches, maybe you’ll be somewhere really big, but I am like, I did it already. It’s just that it is never enough.”
Dhvani’s last year’s massive success Thank You God still trends on social media while the singer is busy promoting her new single with Oaff- Savera & Ankur Tewari – Aankhon.
