A Sprinkling of Stardust

Nearly a month ago, Atindra Chakraborty, a 20-something engineer, heard Mondal hum a song while he was waiting for a train at the Ranaghat junction platform in West Bengal.

In the story of Ranu Mondal’s life, there are two principal characters — Jesus Christ and Himesh Reshammiya. On Wednesday afternoon, she thanked them both profusely at the launch of her first song, Teri meri kahani. “I want to thank Jesus, because he loves me and has given me so much,” she says in English, her voice barely reaching the back of Screen 1 at PVR Juhu in Mumbai. But it’s loud enough to make a woman in the audience gasp — “She speaks English!” — and the rest of the room murmur appreciatively.
