Talking about her singing, Sasha says, “I have learnt singing from my mom and I don't plan to give it up because I am very passionate about it. Musicians Sajid Ali and Wajid Ali are my maternal uncles. My stepsister is the famous English singer-songwriter, Natasha Khan, who goes by the stage name Bat for Lashes. My great grand father was Jugal Kishore Mehra, who was Raj Kapoor's uncle and married to Anwari Begum—the famous singer. My grandmother Nusrin Agha was a well-known singer as well. So in a way, I am the fourth generation singer in my family."
A source from the unit says, “Aditya Chopra managed to convince Sasha to sing a peppy number titled Barbaadiyaan. He decided to rope her in after he heard her voice during her audition.”
A spokesperson from Yash Raj Films confirmed the news, saying, “Yes, Sasha has sung this beautiful track. Her voice is as melodious as her mother’s.”
Aurangzeb, directed by Atul Sabbharwal and also starring Prithviraj, Rishi Kapoor and Jackie Shroff, releases on May 17, 2013.
