Singer Afsana Khan has made a permanent shift to Mumbai with her husband, singer Saajz Sharma, to focus on her work in Bollywood. The Dhurandhar singer has purchased a 2-BHK house in Andheri West-Lokhandwala and is currently working on the interiors.
Afsana, who has worked across Punjabi and Hindi music industries, says work was the main reason behind her move. "My work was one of the prime reasons I decided to relocate. The way Mumbai works, it requires availability. Most of my work now is here — shoots, recordings, meetings. I felt that wherever the work is, that’s where I should be," she shares.
For the 31-year-old, the move is not just a practical career choice but also the fulfilment of a long-held dream. "It was my dream from the beginning that we should shift here and settle in Mumbai. Now that opportunities and offers are increasing, I felt it was necessary," she explains.
Afsana is currently living in a rented place and expects to move into her new home within a month. She dismisses the idea that relocating could distance her from North Indian audiences or projects, saying that with modern technology, work can be done from anywhere.
"We’ll balance both. There is nothing like that these days because everything has become very advanced. Even when I sang for Bollywood projects earlier, people would send work to Chandigarh. It’s very common now and has become very easy. Wherever the work is, it can be done," she says.
Afsana adds that she is choosy about her projects and only takes on work that she genuinely likes. She has a tour planned and is being offered more songs and projects after the success of the Dhurandhar franchise.
