Harman Baweja was asked by director Ashutosh Gowariker to pitch in some lines for a song in What's Your Raashee?. When he reached the recording studio, Gowariker and music composer Sohail Sen played him a track by a female voice.

Bowled over

Notes the actor, "I was completely bowled over. My God! What a voice! And I couldn't recognise it. I asked who it was and I was told it was a new singer. I recorded my portion with much nervousness! Imagine matching up to a voice of that calibre."

It was only later that Harman got to know the singer was director Ashutosh Gowariker's sister Ashlesha, a lawyer by profession. Says Harman, "I didn't know Ashu belongs to a family of singers. His mother is a trained vocalist.

Ashu sings and so does his sister. So I was basically asked to pitch my voice with a singer who knows her job."

Vocal verve

Ashutosh admits his sister has sung in What's Your Raashee?, "Ashlesha sang the song Aa Le Chal for my film. I could've brought her vocals out earlier. But there's a right time for everything. In What's Your Raashee?, I had the right situation for her."

Adds Ashu, "The song occurs when Priyanka plays Nandini, the Scorpio. I hope listeners like my sister's voice."
