"Solo music albums have almost diminished now. Non-film music doesn't make much money nowadays. It used to at one time. It is only Bollywood music that sells now, " Bhasin, who has sung popular Bollywood numbers like "Dhunki" and "Kuchh khaas hai", told.
"Even if you're a known Bollywood singer, it doesn't come up with enough opportunity to release your personal stuff. It isn't easy. The medium has changed, and digital platforms are used more now, " she added.
Born and taken up in Delhi, Bhasin's golden opportunity came in 2001 when she was a few of the winners of Channel V's music talent hunt show "Popstars", and got the danger to join India's first official girl band Viva! with the opposite four winners.
The group split sometime later and Neha then stepped into playback singing with 2005 film "Bullet".

She is approaching the show as a prospective contestant through a wild card format, wherein six people, including actors like Jay Soni, Rashmi Desai, Avika Gor, Karan Wahi and Rithvik Dhanjani, will compete to get an instantaneous entry into the continuing show.
The singer admits she is enjoying her dance rehearsals.
"I have always liked dancing and through my college days I USED TO BE known for both singing and dancing. IT'S NOT THAT I AM the most productive dancer and can't call myself one, but yes, dancing has always been something that I enjoy, " she said.
"Both the art forms require a large number of dedication, so I left dancing and took music as a career option, " she added.
The 29-year-old, who took training in dance years back, is worked up to explore the "hidden and sleeping dancer" in her with "Jhalak..."
"I am already busy in my career and cannot give much time to dancing, but 'Jhalak...' has given me a possibility to explore the hidden and sleeping dancer inside me, " said Neha.
