Aparna Dixit says, “I love listening to romantic hits, especially songs featuring Shah Rukh Khan”!

Actress Aparna Dixit, who is currently seen in the show #TulsiHamariBadiSayani, says that listening to music is how she begins each day. She adds that listening to devotional music helps her perform better.

“I think music plays a very important role, especially for me. My day starts with music. I begin my day by playing some really good God-related songs or bhajans to uplift myself. I feel music has the power to take you to a different zone, even while doing my scenes. My mood aligns with the scene, so music is a very important factor in my life. I don’t think there’s a single day without listening to music for me. I feel all artists, especially music composers and lyricists, have a blessing from God. I love listening to different kinds of music, and I believe in the power of musical instruments and music therapy,” she says.

She adds that music helps her feel better as well. “If I am ever sad or in a low mood, uplifting happy songs, especially Bollywood songs from the nineties, genuinely improve my mood,” she says.

Ask her what she loves listening to, and she says, “I am a total Bollywood girl. I love listening to romantic hits, especially songs featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Sonu Nigam. They bring me immense joy. Nowadays, I think Arijit Singh is an amazing singer, and I really enjoy listening to his and Shreya Ghoshal’s songs. MM Kreem is a music composer whose work I admire, and of course, there’s AR Rahman. I’m a total Bollywood girl and I love Hindi cinema songs, especially old ones. I enjoy listening to Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle.”

She adds, “I think music is a healer. I really love listening to meaningful lyrics and peppy songs. I listen to them quite often these days.”
