Shraddha Kapoor broke down while recording ‘Phir Bhi Tumko Chahungi’ from ‘Half Girlfriend’

Shraddha Kapoor is not just a fabulous actor, but is a fantastic singer too. She made her singing debut with the song ‘Galliyan’ and it is still one of the most loved song. Well, for her upcoming film ‘Half Girlfriend’, she has given her vocals for the modified version of the song ‘Phir Bhi Tumko Chahungi’. Going by the recent reports, Shraddha Kapoor really got quite emotional while recording this song. Talking about the same, the actress told Bombay Times, “It was so overwhelming, I couldn’t sing. I had to excuse myself for a few minutes before I could collect myself and resume recording.”

Not just her, even director Mohit Suri quoted about the incident and said that Shraddha was quite worried if she would be able to justice to this song. Mohit said, “My brief to Mithoon (composer) was that the track should convey the crux of the film. While working on a previous movie, Manoj (Muntashir, the lyricist) had told me about a nazm he had written 12 years ago. I told him that I will need it for my film. The original song has been sung by Arijit Singh, Shraddha has rendered a modified version. For the climax of the film, I wanted a song that conveys the joy of uniting with someone you have always loved. Taking a cue from Lataji’s Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha, Manoj and I came up with a few new lines. When I approached Shraddha to record the song, she was worried if she would be able to do justice to it.”

Further adding, “I have known Shraddha since ‘Aashiqui 2’ (2013), and she has always been positive about life. To see someone like her break down while recording the song, confirmed the fact that she connected with it. I was sitting outside the studio, when she came out weeping. We hope that like Shraddha, everyone else connects with the song, too.”

‘Half Girlfriend’ is slated to release on May 19, 2017. (Also Read: Shraddha Kapoor’s hilarious confrontation with Mohit Suri during dubbing of ‘Half Girlfriend’)
