Hard Kaur, a rapper, claims that she has suffered a lot of criticism since she was a youngster and that a major portion of her problem stemmed from the fact that she was a girl, particularly an Indian girl.
Kaur is one of the seven women featured in Levi’s #IshapeMyWorld campaign’s fourth edition, which honors indomitable women who have molded their lives on their own terms.
The artist talked about how difficult it was for her to break into the rap world, particularly due to her gender.
When asked about it, Kaur responded through e-mail to IANS: “A major portion of my difficulties stemmed from the fact that I was a woman, namely an Indian woman. Because it was a male-dominated profession, people couldn’t believe I could be a rapper, and I was asked to prove myself time and time again.”
“I’ve been around a lot of negativity since I was a kid. I’ve gone through it all, from being bullied to having no friends to growing up in a world full of stereotypes. But, if I’m being honest, I’ve always thought that it’s either my way or no way at all, and I’d rather go the Hard Kaur way.”
“I’ve always worked hard to disprove prejudices; I worked hard, refined my talents, and used them to prove others incorrect.” “I want to empower others to transform negatives into positives,” she continued.
Her songs include “Ek Glassy,” which reached the top of the UK charts in 2007. She has since appeared in movies such as “Ugly Aur Pagli” (“Talli”), “Singh Is Kinng,” “Kismat Konnection,” “Bachna Ae Haseeno,” “Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag,” “Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani,” and “Prince.”
In 2007, she released her debut solo album, “Supawoman.” She credits her success in the music industry to her ability to stay tough, fight back, and believe in herself. Her accomplishments are also credited to her mother.
