Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, has always been passionate about music. The banker is making her singing debut in Bollywood with Jai GangaaJal, where she has crooned the number Sab Dhan Maati. In a quick chat with SpotboyE, Amruta opens up about her love for music, Priyanka Chopra and more. Excerpts:
How did Jai GangaaJal happen?
I had sung one song for Kunal Kohli’s film which hasn’t released as yet. Prakash sir (Jha) happened to hear that song and liked my voice. He then approached me to sing Sab Dhan Maati.

Were you always fond of singing?
I’m a trained classical singer. When I was in Nagpur, I had done a few charity concerts. Even now, whenever I get time, I make sure I do my riyaaz.
How was the experience of working with Prakash Jha?
I have immense respect for Prakashji. I had a great time working with him and music composers Salim-Sulaiman. Jai GangaaJal is a woman-centric film and I’m honoured to make my singing debut in such a film.

What do you think of Priyanka Chopra as an actor?
Priyanka is one of those actresses who practically lives her on-screen character. It is great to be associated with her through this film, though my song is picturised on Prakashji.
As a singer yourself, how would you rate Priyanka’s singing skills?
I think Priyanka is a fabulous singer as she sings from the depth of her heart.
