Asees Kaur’s father visits Indian Pro Music League stage to share her heart-warming story. By Team Viva
This weekend Zee TV’s reality show, Indian Pro Music League will inch closer to its semi finale. All six teams will be seen putting their best foot forward while reminiscing the days spent and memories made during their journey with the show.
On this road to the semi-finale episode, Punjab Lions captain Asees Kaur and her team members Divya Kumar and Shehnaz will be seen crooning Halka Halka which was originally sung by Divya herself. While Asees delighted by the appreciation expressed by other teams, what really touched her was a surprise that followed a couple of seconds after their spectacular performance as her father made a surprising entry holding her favourite sweet dish — kaju katli. Not only was the talented captain surprised by his presence, but she also got a tad bit emotional hearing her father talk about the struggle that she went through to get to where she is today.
“Not many know but her journey to this stage started from Panipat, where we lived. As a child, she always kept telling me that she wants to become a singer and I should take her to Mumbai. But no one knew me in Mumbai, how would I take her there and what would she do? So, I told her that I will take her to Mumbai as soon as she gets any offers. By the grace of God, she got a call so I had to take her to Mumbai. I remember clearly, we went there for 10 days, and I had this thought that nothing will happen to her singing career, and she will come back with me to Panipat, and we will get her married. I don’t know what changed in those 10 days that she has never returned completely to Panipat to date. A lot of people told me that I am making a mistake by taking her to Mumbai, that she would have to experience tough competition, but I did not listen to them. In fact, there was a time when she was staying in a house that was the size of our bathroom in Patiala. She has faced a lot, experienced her fair share of struggles but she has worked hard, and I am very proud of what she has achieved today,” shared Asees’ beaming father.
One cannot help but feel overwhelmed by hearing such larger than life stories. But wait till you hear the six teams putting forth some fantastic acts in this final few stages of the competition.
