Jeete Aai Chal from the movie Neerja. In high spirits or low – this song imparts a lot of hope, strength and motivation.
What is the one song that makes you very happy and charged up after a tiring day?
Chaudhary sung by Memon Khan from Coke Studio. It gets me back to my energetic self and I start dancing immediately. This particular number is my secret to a HAPPY VIBE. Also there are a few retro Hindi songs like Leke pehla pehla pyaar, Hai apna dil to awaara , Pal pal dil ke paas, Phir chidi Raat. These are mandatory playlists for long drives.
Significance of listening to songs for you is:
There’s a song for every mood. Music is a tonic for complete rejuvenation. Listening to a great piece of music and lyrics help me reduce tiredness, and anxiety improves sleep and makes me happier. I feel anything that fills up my heart is meant for me. Music not only ignites my soul but it charges my system and fills me up with excitement too. Thank God there is a song for every mood because as actors, music holds a big significance to consistently carry and hold a certain emotion in a scene favouring better execution. For those who find it difficult to express themselves, music is a medium of catharsis too.
