A viral video of Sunil Lodhi, a visually impaired singer, performing a Hanuman bhajan has earned him a break in Bollywood.
Sunil Lodhi, a singer who lost his sight at a young age, has been performing devotional music for several years. His deep baritone and devotion to Lord Hanuman have earned him a modest following in regional circles.
In early 2024 a recording of Lodhi rendering a Hanuman bhajan was uploaded to a popular video‑sharing platform. Within days the clip amassed millions of views, with listeners praising the emotional intensity of his voice and the sincerity of his rendition.
The widespread online response caught the attention of music producers in the Hindi film industry. Within weeks Lodhi received an invitation to record a song for a forthcoming Bollywood production, marking his first foray into mainstream cinema.
Lodhi said the opportunity validates the belief that talent can transcend physical limitations, and he hopes his story encourages other differently‑abled artists to pursue their ambitions.
