Did you know singer Shashwat Singh is Permanent Roommates' actor Nidhi's brother?
If you've been humming songs from 'Metro... In Dino, you're already familiar with singer Shashwat Singh and his melodious vocals. But did you know he also has a family member in the film industry? Not many are aware that he is the brother of actor Nidhi Singh, popular for her roles in projects like 'Permanent Roommates', 'Apaharan', and 'MOM', among others. In an exclusive chat with India Today, Shashwat spoke about his family and how the siblings ended up in different professions within the same that they are like any other brother-sister duo who fight, have differences, and misunderstandings, and then eventually hug it out and try again, he said, 'It's a very typical sibling relationship. She's my elder sister, so I actually got the confidence to pursue art from her.' The singer added that they come from an academic family, where their mother was a teacher and their father a he knew he might not be able to carry on that legacy, his sister's bold move to become an actor opened doors for him. "She decided to be an actor and did so well. People love her, and I feel so proud whenever I talk about her to my colleagues or anyone. It feels really nice because she's genuinely a great artist. I remember when 'Permanent Roommates' released, I was in Chennai, but I threw a party for my friends to celebrate her success," he explained. Coming from Uttar Pradesh, the journey to Mumbai may seem impossible for many, but the Singh siblings had their parents' support. 'When the entire world was doubting her, giving her gyaan about getting a regular job, my father said, 'Do what you believe in.' Even though he came from an academic background, he had faith in our dreams. When I told him that I didn't want to pursue chartered accountancy but rather take up music, he said, 'Fine, this is the last investment I am making in you. Go enrol yourself in a good course'," he then stated, "My parents have been amazing and supported our dreams. My father is no more, and I think it's all because of his blessings that we are here. As for my mother, she still comes for every single launch that happens. If I am performing in Mumbai, she'll be the first person there. I make sure I take her everywhere I go. They've always appreciated us a lot. We were both good at academics but also very artistic, and they understood that.'As he further discussed his childhood, Shashwat Singh revealed how he grew up inspired by Kishore Kumar. 'I was also a big fan of Rafi saab (Mohd Rafi). As a child, the emotions were conveyed to me a lot more through his voice. And then later on, I understood the maturity of Kishore Da's voice as I grew up. So definitely, those were the first few inspirations in my life. And then Sonu Nigam and KK - these rock stars from India were just amazing. There was also Shaan, and I loved Michael Jackson too,' he while he's lent his voice to Ranbir Kapoor quite a few times, we wondered who else he'd like to sing playback for next. Singh replied, 'I want to play back for everyone. Of course, King Khan is someone I've not sung for yet. Whenever someone asks me this question, I always say 'Bas Shah Rukh Khan ke sath ek hit chahiye (I just need one hit with SRK)'.'- Ends
