Anjali Rajkumar: A woman of many talents

09 May 2021

  By Mahika Panditha  Our little island nation is so full of talent and it is my pleasure and honour to get to chat with so many of the young artists and people doing things to change the world. We had the chance to talk to Anjali Rajkumar last week. Over the past few months, she has become increasingly popular in the media. She is a singer, presenter, and musician. Since there are no public events happening in Sri Lanka, she is currently entertaining through social media and attending charity events, as well as TV and radio shows. Her mom is a musician as well, and we discuss that later on too. Anjali just wants to be happy and positive in life and she is doing so well. We cannot wait to see what the future holds for her and her career, and we cannot wait to join her on this journey! You can check her out on Instagram @anjlaiofficial, and also on YouTube! Take a look at what she had to say to us last week about music, work, and more.  Hey Anjali, why don’t you tell our readers a little about yourself? My name is Anjali Rajkumar. I’m a budding vocalist. People got to know me through my mashup (23 songs in three minutes) which I did with my sister. Also I just released my first original duet “Nalla Male Kelle” with Dilnuk Ranmila and Funky Dirt a few weeks back. Last but not least, I’m the elder daughter of K. Sujeewa. You basically have musical talent in your blood! What made you want to take on singing and music? It’s obvious right! I’ve completed my degree in computer engineering but then my mom wanted me to be a vocalist by profession and take her name further. And also music has been my life since I was a kid, so I thought, why not?  You are also a presenter. How did you get into that? I remember my first time presenting and during the shoot, I stopped the shoot for a while, went to the MCR (Master Control Room), and cried to the producer saying “I can’t do this, I want to go home”. I told her I can sing, “ask me to sing I can do it, but I can’t present”. With a rough start, crying in the morning like how I used to go to school, here I am! I’ve been a presenter at Risira TV for the past two years now.   What would you say is your true passion and why? It sounds crazy, but it’s driving! I love to drive. When I was a kid, all my toys were cars! Even now. I always had a thing for vehicles and I get attached to vehicles more than humans. Driving always makes me feel better and happy. And also music is my passion. All kinds of genres. Music and driving together is the best!  Any funny stories or memorable experiences you can share with us? So very recently, I was invited to a surprise birthday party. For some reason, I forgot that it was a surprise birthday party and I told the birthday girl that I have to go out for a bit and I’d be back before the surprise cake-cutting, and she said “thanks for letting me know”. I’ve never felt so guilty in my life ever. And my sister still bugs me for that. It’s funny to think about it now though.  What has been one of the biggest lessons you have learned in your journey thus far? In my journey and my life what I learnt was that the only people who’d stick around you till the end are family. That goes for anyone and everyone! Not to trust anyone and to be very careful while choosing people to be close with was the biggest lesson I learnt.  How would you say you like to spend your free time? I love to listen to new music. In my free time, I mostly listen to new songs, and of course Netflix!  If there is one thing in this world that you could do, what would it be and why? Revisit India! I lived there for seven years. The first year was very hard, but after that I started loving everything about that country! I’d love to go back for a couple of months. That’s something I’d want to do once travelling is permitted.
