It was big news that Sunidhi Chauhan was to croon with international singing sensation Enrique Iglesias.
But TOI has stumbled upon some startling facts. Sunidhi hasn't recorded with him for 'Heartbeat'. The collaboration is simply to make an Indian version named The Masala Mix composed by Shamir Tandon. The other 'fact' being drummed was the music video that she shot with Enrique. Sources say the original video featuring Enrique and Nicole Scherzinger of Pussycat Dolls has been edited. Nicole has been chopped out, and Sunidhi fitted in! Apparently, Enrique is not in touch with Sunidhi or the composer, he is only in touch with the record label. When confronted on this, Sunidhi attempts to come clean. Read on....
Was Enrique present when the recording happened? We hear otherwise.
Enrique has not re-recorded the song. His part is from the original song. My portions have been fitted in. We've brought in Indian elements into his song.
What about your interviews about "working with Enrique"?
There might be a misunderstanding. You may want to hear the recording before jumping the gun. I mean, it was great to collaborate with Enrique, which is his song, and we have made a totally different new song for the Indian audiences. It is fresh and doesn't sound like the original. It isn't a remix.
We hear Enrique hasn't shot even for the music video and that you've merely been fitted in?
As I said, you have to see the video before you can decide that. Enrique has shot for the video. We have scenes together in the video. (Sources from the record label reveal that when Sunidhi was in LA for four days, Enrique might have shot a couple of shots with her for some part, but most of it was shot separately)
'Meet'ing of minds
Meanwhile, the public relations executive of the music label informed us that the entire office staff was busy in a crucial meeting and and thus unavailable for a comment. Hmmmm... what was the agenda? An album with Sunidhi and Jay Z?
