There's no denying this 5 foot 5 hip-hop MC named Hard Kaur has quickly become the larger than life sweetheart of glamorous Bollywood. But she's not just your average darling of B-Town... no, this chick can spit serious rhymes and she's not afraid to let loose. These days you'd be hard pressed to find a who's who party or event in Bollywood that HK isn't at where the paparazzi aren't falling over themselves to snap a glimpse. But what's behind all of it? It's the fact that her rapping skills have landed her in numerous Bollywood soundtracks like, 'Johnny Gadar,' 'Haal-e-Dil,' 'Kismat Konnection,' 'Ugly Aur Pagli,' 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' and 'Singh is Kinng.' Her rhymes prove to be the perfect compliment to Bollywood's love affair with Hip Hop fusion. But most recently the industry's been buzzing about India's largest music label, Reliance-Big Music's interest in HK which will no doubt take her to newer heights in her career, not only in Bollywood but beyond as well.
Born in 1979, Taran Kaur Dhillon never once imagined that she'd perform on stage to a rowdy crowd of hip-hop heads. Destiny, however, had different plans for the young Indian girl who once aspired to be like her aunty dressed in a sari playing the traditional Indian harmonium. Evolving from the good little Indian girl who didn't argue or answer back, she is now a fire-breathing dragon spitting rhymes here there and everywhere with a punch so hard it would knock you out from the other side of the room. Putting those people who claim to be rappers to shame with her lyrical prowess, this village girl has shown her fans that they have no need to be afraid or worried about what others think, "as long as you have talent and passion, chase your dreams". Selling all 3000 copies of her first single "Voodoo" this original rapper proved that music could be used a cultural crossover tool. Despite being unaccepted by both the black and Asian youth communities, Hard Kaur has always held her own and stood up for herself. Never one to shy away from controversy or a challenge, Hard Kaur still stands on stage with a microphone rapping with the ferocity of a lion, in front of a crowd of some of the harshest critics, and constantly shows that she's got balls that most men would be proud of! Her mother being kicked out of her marital home, and losing her children was a kick in the stomach that no one can even begin to imagine. But defiantly, Hard Kaur's mother held her head up high, worked hard, opened up a beauty salon and came back with a vengeance for her children.
