Another Surrey, B.C. girl has made the city proud. 20-Yr-old Kirti Arneja is now one of the most sought after name in the Bollywood. She has collaborated with the Bollywood music’s biggest name, Mika Singh for their new song, JOGI.
Talking to CBC, Kirti said, even though she dreamed of becoming a superstar since she was a child, developing a stage presence didn't always come easy.
"In all honesty, I used to be very shy," she said. "I used to stand there like a little statue, look down and never be able to look up to people."
But after touring with Mika Singh, the young vocalist is a changed artist.
Kirti met Mika Singh in Vancouver in October 2015 after she sang during intermission for his show at the Orpheum Theatre.
"Next thing you know a whole different person came out. I was dancing, having the time of my life. I got off the stage and was like what is happening to me?" she said.
Arneja hopes to do a launch of her single in Vancouver next month or September.
