Sridevi Reveals Her Struggles from the Event Stage to the Big Stage, Once Sang Without Pay but Remains Grateful

From stage to stage, that’s how Sridevi’s journey began. Since the age of 8, she has been familiar with the microphone and the spotlight, even though her stage back then was just a simple village stage.

"I have been singing since I was 8 years old. Since I was little, I often participated in competitions, singing wherever I could. I was just that crazy about singing," Sridevi said while laughing.

She even admitted that she once asked her mother to stop at a stranger’s event just to contribute a song. "I said, Mom, can I sing there? Even though I wasn’t invited," she recalled with a small laugh.

Her mother was initially embarrassed and forbade her. "My mom said, don’t, it’s embarrassing. That’s not our event," said Sridevi. But her enthusiasm for singing never waned.

From the village stage to the city stage, Sridevi grew up with the same spirit. "Back then, the village stages were the most exciting. Although sometimes they were noisy, the atmosphere was nostalgic," she said.

Not every journey is smooth. "There were times when I sang far away, but wasn't paid. Sometimes I was only given 200 thousand, at most 300 thousand, even though I sang a lot. Back then, 300 thousand was already a lot; I was just grateful and happy to be able to sing, to entertain people," she said honestly.

Her love for dangdut came from the environment she grew up in. I listened to dangdut since I was little, because my village is very close to Ka Rara Lida, and I was really inspired by Ka Lesti. My parents were also big fans of Rhoma Irama. So since I was little, my love for dangdut has already formed," Sridevi said proudly.

From a child singing at events to a dangdut star on the big stage, Sridevi's journey is proof that big dreams can come from the simplest places as long as they are pursued with love and consistency.

The KapanLagi Show with Sridevi was also attended by her loyal fans who have always provided full support since the beginning of her career. They came enthusiastically, bringing positive energy for the singer who is now shining even brighter on the big stage.

The atmosphere became lively as Sridevi greeted her fans from the stage. Her genuine smile and warm greeting made the entire audience cheer, expressing their pride for their idol.

An unforgettable moment occurred when one lucky fan had the opportunity to duet live with Sridevi on stage. The cheers of the audience added to the excitement, creating warm memories.

Sridevi also took the time to take photos with fans who had been waiting since the beginning of the event. Her humble and friendly demeanor made the atmosphere feel familiar and enjoyable.

For Sridevi, fans are not just spectators, but a great force that always supports her journey. She realizes that her long journey would mean nothing without the love and prayers from those who always believe in her.
