A Telugu Girl’s Journey Beyond Borders – The Story Behind Asuya

Have you ever heard a single comment that completely shifted your perspective? It all began in a bustling Toronto office, where Indo-Canadian singer-songwriter Hanishka Polimera worked as a software developer. A colleague from a different background often remarked, "People from my country may speak English well or poorly, but for others, it will always be a second language. English will never truly be theirs."

Hanishka brushed it off—until one day, when she casually mentioned that this colleague reminded her of a close friend. "Is she from your background? I hope she doesn’t have that thick accent." It wasn’t just an offhand remark; it carried a subtle sense of superiority, laced with envy.

That moment ignited Asuya—not just a song, but an exploration of hidden jealousy. Through its soulful melodies and evocative lyrics, Asuya delves into how seemingly small words can leave a lasting impact. As her debut single, it marks the beginning of Hanishka’s artistic journey, showcasing a heartfelt and distinctive style. Drawing from real-life experiences, she crafts music that is both personal and universally relatable.
