This week I sit down with the renowned singer Kanika Kapoor for an exclusive interview. Kanika opens up about her journey from a traditional upbringing in Lucknow to becoming a music sensation in England and Bollywood. She discusses the challenges she faced after her divorce, the hardships of balancing motherhood and a budding music career, and the backlash she received during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through her candid and emotional storytelling, Kanika teaches us valuable lessons in self-confidence, perseverance, and the importance of chasing your dreams regardless of societal expectations.  00:00 Introduction and Early Life 00:40 Struggles and Breakthroughs 01:14 Journey into Music 02:29 Challenges and Triumphs 06:15 Marriage and Motherhood 09:35 Rediscovering Music 12:58 Rise to Fame 16:41 Facing Criticism and Finding Confidence 36:06 Emotional Performances and Life Lessons 37:58 Career Breakthroughs and Personal Struggles 41:09 Balancing Motherhood and Career 48:52 Facing Public Scrutiny During COVID-19 57:00 Challenges in the Music Industry 01:05:24 Personal Growth and Future Aspirations Learn more about your ad choices.
