After making a name for himself on television, Pearl V Puri is now ready to introduce audiences to another side of himself. The actor mm announced his singing debut with an album of seven original songs — all written, composed and sung by him.
"I've loved music since I was in the eighth grade. While other kids were busy with school, I was writing lyrics," he says.


The Yaariyan 2 actor shares, "Over the years, I've written and composed more than 150 songs. They've been sitting quietly in my diaries and voice notes, waiting for the right time. One day I looked at this mountain of songs and thought they deserved better than just my bathroom acoustics."


Calling himself a " bathroom singer " even today, Pearl credits acting for shaping his musical expression. "As actors, our whole job is to convey emotion, and a song is nothing but emotion travelling through your voice. If the emotion isn't there, perfect notes don't mean anything. Acting and music are like siblings for me. One taught the other how to feel."


Despite years of writing music, releasing his first song wasn't easy. "My biggest critic is myself," he admits. "These songs are like my children because I've lived with them since I was a schoolboy. My fear wasn't what people would say; it was whether I'd done justice to the songs. The day I heard the final version and got goosebumps instead of doubts, I knew it was time."

Pearl is known for doing TV shows such as Naagin and more.
