Madhubanti Bagchi said that after “Aaj Ki Raat” became a hit, she made sure not to get stuck in the same genre of songs and believed that every artiste should establish his or her own identity. She also thinks Bollywood should hire more singers instead of spending too much energy on singers Arijit Singh Alone.
Madhubanti Bagchi’s tracks continue to resonate
While Bagchi’s “Jab Talak” from her latest album “Cocktail 2” continues to gain traction, older tracks like “Shararat” from “Dhurandhar” (2025) and a few of her earlier songs have not lost their popularity. “It’s definitely a satisfying feeling,” she said at Noon, talking about the industry’s tendency to stereotype artists and her efforts to protect her craft in an industry that relies too much on the voices of a few.
Madhubanti Bagchi refuses similar offers
When asked if she received a lot of offers for similar songs after the success of the song and how difficult it was to avoid this pitfall, she said, “It’s not difficult to say no to offers like this. The industry seems to put you in a box and overuse it as much as possible until you do something else. Then they put you in another box. Before Aaj Ki Raat, my Heeramandi song [Nazariya Ki Maari] After I came here, everyone regarded me as a classical singer. When Aaj Ki Raat was released, people jumped from “she is a classical singer” to “she sings dance music”. As artists, we have to think about the narrative we want to set for our audience. Why should I limit myself? [one genre]? ”.
Recording by Madhubanti Bagchi Jabu Talak
About the birth of ‘Jab Talak’, she said, “Jab Talak was recorded after the first trailer of the film was released. I am happy with the way the female part was created. Pritamda is a magician. Who wouldn’t want to work with him? Singing a song composed by him is any artiste’s dream.”
