NEW DELHI: Jingbhobok often hums to herself while working at her sister’s small tea stall along the Shillong bypass. The 15-year-old girl never paid heed to her latent talent.
It took a restaurateur from Assam who coincidentally met Jingbhobok, also called Lucky, to recognise the talent and take it to the virtual world. Her song got more than a million views within 48 hours.
Sunny Dwipen, a restaurant owner in Guwahati, during his trip to Shillong with friends stopped at the roadside tea stall. Sunny heard Lucky humming a song while preparing tea and requested her to sing so that he could record it and post online.
Within 48 hours of posting it on the internet, the video went viral.
Lucky, a student of St Francis Bascilles Secondary School in Shillong, has no formal training in singing.
Jing has three sisters and four brothers and she lives with her parents. Her mother owns a small shop and brothers drive taxis.
Her family cannot afford a television set and had never taken part in any competition other than school functions. Lucky learnt to sing from radio and an audio system owned by her brothers.
“I also taught singing to children in my school and I am a school captain as well,” says Lucky proudly.
Now with the help of Dwipen, music composer Shekhar Goswami of Assam, who has worked in Bollywood, has agreed to record a song with Lucky, who finished her Class X boards this year.
