NEW DELHI: ‘Outrageous’ singer Sherlyn Chopra, whose second album Dard-e-Sherlyn was released in the capital on Monday, says she is unfazed by the fact that the video of album’s title song was subjected heavy censoring.
In fact, Sherlyn performed the title song at an event where yesteryear Hindi film star Zeenat Aman and filmmaker Jagmohan Mundra released the album and the video cassette disc of the album here on Monday night.
Speaking on the occasion, Zeenat said it was a happy sign that beautiful girls were now coming forward not merely to act but also to ‘make good music’.

Mundra said Sherlyn represented a new set of actresses who were not afraid to blaze new trails, just as Zeenat had done in her heyday.
The album was subjected to 19 cuts by the Central Board of Film Certification, the singer told Radioandmusic.com. The CBFC found shots of Sherlyn touching co-star Shahwar’s body highly objectionable and so only solo shots of Sherlyn were retained.
But she said that this did not worry her and she was planning to make videos of one or two of the other songs in the album brought out by T-Series.
Sherlyn, whose first album was titled ‘Outrageous’, said she would soon be seen in a film to be made under the Yashraj banner, but declined to give any more details.
The video has been shot by Remo De’Souza, who won an award at the recent Osian-Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema here for his film A Story of Red Hills for ‘effectively transposing his magnificent obsession about a dying folk art into a cinematic form and for successfully reaching out with his first film told straight from the heart’.
While the music and lyrics have been composed by Sherlyn herself along with DJ Akbar Sami, the album has been brought out as a tribute to ‘Dream Girl’ Hema Malini.
