Girls on a song
On February 4, 2016, a 15 year old aspiring singer uploaded a video on YouTube. There's no burkha but there's a guitar which she gently strums to sing Rihanna's "Stay". Instead of the angst of Secret Superstar Insiya, there's tenderness. The video didn't go viral (66,000 views and counting), but it caught the attention of someone who mattered. Two months later, the teenager found herself sitting in composer Amit Trivedi's studio in Mumbai and signing a contract for a production she did not know was Aamir Khan's. A secret superstar was born, Meghna Mishra. "I filled a form without really reading it," she says. "Only later did I realise that I was getting my big break in an Aamir Khan production."
True talent speaks volumes and it doesn't always need a reality TV show to be heard and validated. For every Shreya Ghoshal (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa) and Arijit Singh
