The spotlight focussed on one individual, one album, one single that left the crowds either speechless or screaming for more. That triumphal moment touched a pinnacle in fame and fortune. And success wallowed at the feet of Suneeta Paree Rao.

Ever since she hit big time, her fans waited almost exhaustingly for her new release. And just when even the most patient were ready to give up hope and abandon the wait as futile, there was a breath of fresh air - Talaash.

Singer, model and stage actress Suneeta Rao was born in Germany to Dr D K Rao and his wife Komala on April 5, 1967. She arrived on Indian turf two-and-a-half-years later to school at Bombay International and pursue her higher studies at St Xavier's College.

Suneeta's career began with modelling and voice-overs for an endless list of commercials including Wheel, Thums Up and Rich Cafe.

Though she continued to sing for various programs and act in plays, her career as a singer had taken off. In 1991, she released Dhuan, the album that would rate her as one of the India pop diva. Then, Paree took the country by storm, selling over 75,000 copies. When both Paree and Dhuan topped the Indian charts, Suneeta knew she had made it!
