Rahman sir ke liye hota hai… -

In this week’s captivating episode of Indie’N Folk Project, we are graced by the presence of the enchanting singer and composer Jasleen Royal, the melodious voice behind hit songs such as ‘Nachde Ne Saare,’ ‘Heeriye,’ ‘Din Shagna Da,’ ‘Preet,’ ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan,’ and many more. Joining us in an engaging discussion in the studio, hosted by Peeyush, she shares her fascinating journey.

The conversation commences with Peeyush inquiring about Jasleen’s travel experiences. She reveals her penchant for solo travel and expresses her desire to journey with a companion in the future, irrespective of romantic involvement, noting her carefree approach to life.

Discussing her latest release ‘Assi Sajna,’ Jasleen draws parallels to Kangana Ranaut’s 2013 film ‘Queen,’ highlighting how the lyrics celebrate and romanticize life, even in the face of heartbreak, and finding resilience in adversity.

On the subject of heartbreak, Jasleen recounts her own experiences, emphasizing that not all heartbreaks are romantic. She recounts her first heartbreak when she was expelled from her college band at a café, and her subsequent struggle to earn respect as a self-taught singer.

Jasleen also divulges the origin of her band’s name, ‘Mirasis,’ inspired by the nomadic community in North India and Pakistan. Her innate curiosity and habit of fixing her own instruments led her mother to affectionately call her a mirasi, a term that eventually became her band’s name.

She further shares her top three tips for solo travel, amusingly recounting her solo expedition to Nepal with just Rs. 100 in her pocket. Her essentials for travel include a modest amount of money, a charged phone with internet access, and a trusty backpack.


Delighting us with her live performance, Jasleen sings her latest release ‘Assi Sajna’ in the studio.

When Peeyush asks about singers closing their eyes while performing, Jasleen explains it helps them immerse in the moment. She also shares that she used to remove her glasses during performances to avoid recognizing faces in the crowd, which could make her nervous.
Reflecting on her modest upbringing, Jasleen recounts how she began earning at a young age by tutoring students, leading to her early financial independence.

While acknowledging the importance of money, Jasleen emphasizes that true success comes from passionate dedication to one’s craft.

In conclusion, Peeyush extends warm wishes for Jasleen’s future endeavors.
