How Did Marriage to an Older Muslim Man Take This Singer Ten Years Behind?

Sunidhi Chauhan born Nidhi Chauhan- 14 August 1983 is an Indian playback singer. Known for her vocal range and versatility,[2] she has recorded songs for films in several Indian languages and received accolades including three Filmfare Awards.
Born in Delhi, she began performing at local gatherings at the age of 5 and made her career debut at the age of 13, with the film Shastra (1996). During the year, she won the first singing reality show titled Meri Awaz Suno and rose to prominence after recording "Ruki Ruki Si Zindagi" from Mast (1999).

She did her studies from Greenway Modern School and used to stay with her family members in Dilshad Garden, Delhi.[7][8] She discontinued her studies right after schooling to pursue a career in the music industry.[citation needed] She said: "I quit because I did not feel like studying. I made the decision to pursue my dream as a singer and I don't regret it one bit".[9]

When actress Tabassum spotted her, she made her sing live in her show Tabassum Hit Parade and asked her family to shift to Mumbai.[10] She then introduced Chauhan to Kalyanji Virji Shah and Anandji Virji Shah.[11] Upon meeting, Kalyanji changed her name from Nidhi to Sunidhi as he felt that it is a lucky name.[12] When she was 11, her dad quit his job and brought her to Mumbai. Initially, the family had financial difficulties in adjusting life to the city. After that she worked in Kalyanji's academy for few years and became the lead singer in his "Little Wonders" troupe.[13] She was then offered with many shows, though her father insisted on singing for films
