"Music is considered as food for my soul. And I have often realised that if you enjoy what you do, it reflects in your acting as well" states Rajesh (Kamna Pathak) from &TV's Happu Ki Ultan Paltan. The Indore-native has captured the viewers' hearts with not only her acting prowess but also her soulful voice, which is often seen humming Bundelkhandi songs in the show. And what better to display her talent in an episode that is all about singing! The episode will have Rajesh prepping up for a singing contest. And this is what she had to say. "It has always been fun to shoot for the show, but when the production team narrated the singing contest episode, I was game for it. One of my favourite scenes is with Benny (Vishwanath Chatterjee) where he is playing the Tabla, and I am rehearsing folk songs with him. I got so carried away with singing, that I did not realise when the Director said cut. I kept singing till the end, much to everyone's delight. The crew thoroughly enjoyed and did not stop me and let me sing to my heart's content. Later on, Vishwanathji mentioned, that he too kept playing the Tabla, even though it was mocking, to keep up with my singing and we both burst into a hearty laugh! I am sure the audience will love this episode and appreciate the singer in me. I am eagerly looking forward to my family, friends and fans views.". In the upcoming track, Happu (Yogesh Tripathi) is tired with Rajesh's constant demands and on Commissioners' advice gets Rajesh to pursue singing as a hobby. Little does he realise that this hobby keeps Rajesh so occupied that both Happu and Ammaji (Himani Shivpuri) are left to do the household chores. Now how will Happu and Amma deal with Rajesh's new-found love for singing?
