‘Song was born during pregnancy;: Parineeti Chopra opens up about ‘Namami Shamishan’, reveals Raghav Chadha’s reaction | Hindi Movie News
Parineeti Chopra has returned to music with ‘Namami Shamishan’, a devotional hymn dedicated to Lord Shiva. Unlike his previous film-related musical projects, this release comes from a deeply personal space. The actress described the song as an extension of her spiritual practices and daily devotion.The launch marks a new chapter in his creative journey. Over the years, Parineeti has balanced acting and music, but now she seems more focused on expressing her personal beliefs through her voice.
The pregnancy inspired the creation of the hymn
Speaking to Variety India about the origins of the song, Parineeti revealed that the idea came during her pregnancy. He explained that hearing and singing the hymn became a regular part of his daily routine.“It was during my pregnancy. Like I said, I used to listen to it every morning as part of my daily ritual. It brought me closer to my faith, to God. I meditate every day anyway, but it brought me more to a meditative level and I was just humming or chanting ‘Namami Shamishan’ all day. The idea came to me one morning. It was like I was sitting in the sun, 6 or 7 in the morning. I was just singing it and I only recorded two or three lines on my phone, like a voice note and I sent it forward and it went from there, so yeah, it was just one of those beautiful mornings during pregnancy.” The actress said the song evolved naturally from that point and eventually became a full-fledged music release.
why devotional music it feels different
Parineeti also spoke about the responsibility she feels while performing devotional compositions. According to her, sacred hymns require a different level of care and sincerity.“There is a lot more responsibility because you have to get it right. These are our ancestral shloks and stutis – not created by us. These are sacred words, so you need to make sure the pronunciation, emotion, and intent are right. You can’t market to them or approach them with any agenda. They must remain pure, full of faith and devotion. So yeah, it’s very different from streaming or pop music. You are presenting this as your prayer, and with that comes a unique responsibility. You can bring your personal emotion to it, but you can’t distort or commercialize it.”
Raghav Chadha the special reaction
Parineeti also shared how her husband Raghav Chadha responded after hearing the full version of the anthem. “He’s my biggest supporter. He actually scolds me for not doing enough! He’s the one who pushes me because he hears me sing all day. He always tells me, ‘You were born to sing. You were born for music.’ He once told me that his father used to sing ‘Namami Shamishan’ to him every day. So when I recorded the song and I was in for a surprise. When I played him the finished version, he didn’t realize it was my voice at first. He thought it was presenting him with a new interpretation. About 10 seconds later, he looked at me and said, “Wait, is that you?” I said, “Yes, that’s my voice.” It was a special moment for him, and now it’s on his phone and part of his daily routine, too. For me, that’s a success. If someone makes it part of their day, that’s enough for me.”Parineeti made it clear that her devotional musical journey is driven by personal conviction rather than trends. “I want my devotional music journey to remain personal. I’m not doing it for attention or commercial reasons. I’m doing it because that’s who I am. Devotional music is a big part of my life and I want to create my own versions of what’s meaningful to me. It has nothing to do with trends. I’m at a point in my life where I want to share this music because I feel like I’m my voice.“He also added:“If I feel it every day, the whole family feels it every day, so that should answer the question.” Looking ahead, Parineeti confirmed that music will continue to play an important role in her professional life. “Absolutely. I’m already doing it. I’ve been acting for many years, but music has always been a big part of my life.”His previous film appearance was in the acclaimed biographical drama ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’.
