• Jonita Gandhi’s latest single 'Beparwahi' dropped on June 13 and has been praised for its fusion of emotive vocals and bold choreography in its video.
• Raised in Canada after being born in Delhi, she was taunted for her facial hair and called 'Godzilla', experiences she says fueled deep body-image insecurities.
• Those insecurities led her to believe she would never have sex and to avoid activities like swimming, though she acknowledges music helped her confront lingering doubts.
• Upon moving to India to pursue playback singing, she faced stereotyping as a 'firang' deemed 'easy' and even received inappropriate networking requests.
• Drawing strength from music, Gandhi has become a sought-after Bollywood voice, contributing to hits like The Breakup Song, Gilehriyaan and What Jhuka.
