According to Roop she never got any training in singing or acting and has learnt the same from her mother and sister. “My mother is a very good singer. Though she was not able to make her career in singing she helped us learn the same. I started acting and Dolly started singing,” she affirmed and added, “When I got the chance to act my dad was bit upset but later on got agreed on my decision.” Roop stated that now her full focus will be on singing until she gets a very attractive character to act.
While on other hand younger sister Dolly already has under her credit Bollywood and Pollywood songs. She got the chance to sing for the title track of Salmaan Khan starrer Bodyguard. Other than this she had to her credit title track of the movie ‘Jatt Airways’ sung with Master Saleem, she sang “Lohri Di Raat” with Sukhwinder Singh in Kaafila’, ‘Berukh Berukh Ho Gei Zindgi, Berukh Ho Geia Pyar Ve’ with Kuldeep Raseela in the album ‘Mela’, ‘Phull Kandya Ch Khildey Ne’ with Surjit Khan, ‘Kajle wale nain’ with Davinder Kohinoor and ‘Tere Te Dil Saada Lutteya Gaya’ with Kamal Khan and Mangi Mahal.
Reminiscing about her love for music Dolly said that she loved music ever since she was born. Her parents soon realized their daughters talent and allowed her to perform on stage. “In between awards came my way and thereafter started taking the profession seriously. Professionally I started singing at the age of 11. My first track was “Mela”, the title song of the album by the same name, with Kuldeep Rasila. For that I was nominated for best song in duet category. Thereafter, no looking back for me,” she stated.
