When Hrithik Roshan attended the event to celebrate the success of pop singer Anaida’s album ‘Nayaa’, it made everybody curious.
When quizzed, Anaida disclosed her bond with the superstar. “I have dedicated my latest experimental album ‘Nayaa’ to the memory of Hrithik’s late grandmother Ira Roshan. She was very close to me and had composed most of the songs in my previous album ‘Chori Chori’. The track ‘Oonchi Neechi’ is still a chartbuster.” She adds, “Hrithik for me is a symbol of perfection.”
Anaida’s video has been shot with a Hollywood crew on arid locales against the backdrop of cactus plants. “Besides Western, Spanish and Arabic beats and English numbers, I have sung a Sufiyana number ‘Maulaa Re’,” she discloses.
Incidentally, Anaida is also dabbling with playback singing.
