Bhubaneswar: Bollywood singer Pratichee Mohapatra’s latest song ‘Sab Ho Jaane Do’ in the web series Mirzapur 2 has become a rage. In a recent interview with a local magazine, the singer revealed her camaraderie with Mirzapur’ director Gurmmeet Singh, her childhood in Odisha, and her battle with cancer.
“Gurmmeet is a dear friend of mine. I had worked with him earlier on ‘Inside Edge’. So when the second season of Mirzapur was under production, he approached me and said that there’s a song for me. I agreed to do it,” she told the magazine.
Talking about her song ‘Sab Ho Jaane Do’ she says, “It was just a thing to do for my friend and become a part of this great world of Mirzapur.”
She was diagnosed with cancer at this time. “It was a relapse. I disappointingly had to excuse myself from the song. After a few months of my recovery, Gurmmeet asked me to sing another song and become a part of the album. That’s how ‘Sab Ho Jaane Do’ fell into my lap.”
Commenting on the rise and success of OTT platforms, Pratichee told the local magazine, “Nowadays, the opportunities have increased ten times than earlier through OTT platforms and the content they provide. The country has tremendous talent and since the opportunities have gone up now, more people are getting their foot in.”
Pratichee, born in Kochi, also reminisced her memories of Odisha, “My dad was in the Indian Navy. Although I have never lived in Odisha, for all our summer holidays we used to visit my home state. We used to visit either Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, or my mom’s village. In fact, I can say that I have relatives in every lane of Bhubaneswar.”
