In a surprising turn of events, Sreerama Chandra, the winner of Indian Idol Season 5, has ventured into the world of dance reality shows. While many may question his decision to participate in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11, Sreerama sees it as a way to challenge himself and explore new opportunities beyond singing.
As an ambitious person, Sreerama has always sought to push his boundaries and test his abilities. He reveals, “I have always been a singer first, but I didn’t hesitate to explore other art forms such as acting, hosting, and now dancing. I have always loved dancing and have drawn inspiration from Western pop stars who excel in both singing and dancing.” His participation in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 serves as a platform for him to learn and grow as a dancer.
Sreerama Chandra acknowledges the increasing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the music industry, particularly in terms of voice reproduction. He believes that AI poses a challenge for singers, as anyone’s voice can be replicated in a song. However, he remains optimistic, stating that singers who excel in live performances will continue to thrive despite the rise of AI and auto-tune.
Unlike many contemporary singers, Sreerama Chandra refuses to rely on auto-tune to enhance his vocals. He attributes this to his upbringing and the influence of legendary singers such as Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, and Mohd Rafi. He prefers to sing his songs in one take, showcasing his true talent during live performances. Although technical corrections are made during the recording process, he prides himself on delivering songs with proper sur (pitch).
While reality shows often highlight contestants’ personal stories to create an emotional connection with viewers, Sreerama Chandra believes that these stories can sometimes overshadow the true talent of the contestants.

As Sreerama Chandra continues his journey in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11, he reminds aspiring artists to embrace opportunities for growth and not shy away from exploring new artistic avenues. His determination to challenge himself and his dedication to live performances sets him apart in an industry increasingly influenced by technology.
