Actress Rituu Sachdev is truly multi-talented. The 21-year-old was so impressed by Shakira’s Waka Waka track that she decided to make her own remix of the same. She has aptly named it Waka Waka se Chauka Chakkaa.
Rituu is not just a cricket buff but also an aficionado who could give Mandira Bedi a run for her money. Says Rituu, “If Shakira can sing and perform for the World Cup, I thought of making a remix of that track and dedicate it to our very own cricketers. With all the muck being raised on and off the field of cricket, with allegations of spot fixing and match fixing and the corruption in the administration of cricket, I thought an inspirational and patriotic track was the need of the hour. So I made my own remix at home.” Being a computer and music expert herself, Rituu got the track remixed on her own. She has also added a few inputs from A R Rahman’s Vande Mataram into her track.
The music video was shot last week and is slated for an online release the coming week. Rituu will be seen performing an Indianised version of Shakira’s dance performance. “This is not a commercial release. We don’t intend to make any money out of it. We recognize and accept that the track and the rights to the music are owned by a particular music company or singer or composer. I am a great fan of Shakira’s music as well as a cricket buff. I never miss a single cricket match. I have made the remix at home on my own with my limited knowledge of music. I hope all cricket lovers will like my initiative and patriotism and support my cause to promote corruption-free cricket not just in India, but all over the world,” says the chirpy Rituu Sachdev.
Yes we do love your brave attempt Rituu and also love you….
