Sunidhi Chauhan opens up about unpaid work in the music industry; says, “I haven’t got money for many movies”

Sunidhi Chauhan is one of the most popular Bollywood vocalists. In a recent interview, the actress discussed her path and highlighted times where she was not paid for her work, as well as lobbying.

Sunidhi Chauhan revealed on Raj Shamani's podcast that she was not reimbursed for some of her most memorable and lauded performances, despite being one of the industry's most sought-after and highest-paid singers.

Raj Shamani shed light on a horrifying Bollywood practice in which vocalists are forced to record many versions of a song, with just the chosen one receiving compensation while the others are left unpaid. He questioned Sunidhi Chauhan if there are any money concerns in the profession, to which she replied that unpaid work is a common occurrence for vocalists.

However, Sunidhi Chauhan stressed that renowned singers like herself have the right to seek recompense for their labour. She emphasised that, in general, singers have the option of requesting upfront payment or negotiating a post-recording settlement, resulting in a mutual understanding that absolves either party of culpability.

Sunidhi then said, “I haven’t got money for many movies, even today they don’t give me. They ask and I choose not to take it because I feel for this song I don’t need money. At some places I would like to help so I say my price and I sing the song. You don’t want to hurt anybody’s ego because everyone does not think like you. They might also not understand how you feel.”

When asked about Sonu Nigam's controversial remark about Bollywood's supposed mafia rule, he replied, "Kuch hi log hain, kuch hi logo ko aage badhayenge?" Chauhan confessed to this, claiming that lobbying existed everywhere, including award ceremonies, music, films, and reality shows. “It’s something you cannot avoid. You do your work, and if you want to get involved, do it to fix things,” she said.
