Indo-Canadian Bollywood Singer, Parichay & “The Breakup Song” singer, Jonita Gandhi’s new take on the 90’s classic “Tum Mile Dil Khile” has gone viral on Tik Tok and has opened several doors for Sangeet Samra, the lead model in the music video. Parichay, known for the Bollywood mega hit song “Peene Ki Tamanna” and his songs with Nargis Fakhri, Neha Kakkar, Kardinal Offishall & Sean Kingston approached Sangeet for this video because of her unique look and pink hair. Since the song went viral on the popular app Tik Tok, Sangeet has been approached by several directors from the Punjabi film industry with offers which she is currently considering. “I didn’t think people were going to like it so much. I did the song because I genuinely liked the song. I don’t want to do something just for the sake of it, I want to do meaningful stuff and something that I would actually enjoy doing. I have grown up watching Indian films and am from Punjabi background so working in Punjabi films is definitely something I am considering”, says Sangeet.
Tik Tok has been responsible for the success of several songs including the hit “Lamberghini” and it comes as no surprise that this Saregama released official remake of Tum Mile Dil Khile has taken off similarly. There are currently thousands of users that have posted videos with their take on the Tum Mile song both on Tik Tok as well as on YouTube. When asked about this Parichay said “ The best thing about music is that if a song is genueinely good, it will eventually find itself on people’s playlists. This one was released 8 months ago and suddenly blew up after going viral on Tik Tok“
Only a little while ago, Sangeet was roped in to feature as the lead model in a TV commercial for Nature Power, a popular beauty soap brand in India after the brand was previously endorsed by actresses Kajal Aggarwal & Tamanna Bhatia. She then went onto feature in several other TV commercials but since her song’s popularity has grown through Tik Tok, she has been approached by reality show producers in the UK & India including the uber popular British dating show “Love Island” & the Indian hit show “Big Boss”. *Sangeet quote needed*
With her growing popularity on Social Media platforms such as Instagram and her luck with Tik Tok, it looks like this young model is headed for a bright future. As her next release is rumoured to be a lead role appearance in a major music video for a well known British Asian singer, we will have to wait and see where we see Sangeet next.
