Currently she is one of the top playback singers in Bollywood - having sung for top actresses such as: Rekha, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Karisma Kapoor, Kajol, Urmila Matondkar, Rani Mukherji, Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta, Vidya Balan, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Asin, Anushka Sharma, Sonakshi Sinha, Parineeti Chopra and Alia Bhatt.
She started her singing career at a very early age of four. She participated in many competitions and made her presence felt. Her family soon shifted to Mumbai when Tabassum, a TV host spotted her talent and expressed to her parents that she could further her career if they went to Mumbai. She became quite famous through the various competitions she participated in. Her performances were telecast all over India through the National Television channel Doordarshan, through the music show Meri Aawaz Suno where she won the "Lata Mangeshkar Trophy" for the best female singer of India along with Pradip Somasundaran in the male category. This was the first such televised contest in India in 1996. Her first break in a Hindi film was in the film Shastra followed by Gang, Veergati, Dahek, Bade Dilwala, Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, Shyam Benegal's Samar and the Vidhu Vinod Chopra film Mission Kashmir. She had no formal training before she entered into various national singing competitions. Lata Mangeshkar offered to train her when she won on the nationally-telecast "Meri Aawaz Suno"
Her singing career got a big boost when Sandeep Chowta gave her the first major break in Mast. After Mast there was no turning back. Sunidhi Chauhan had been getting lots of criticism for an extremely mature voice despite being young. However this criticism ended once Chameli came with her biggest song to date "Bhaage Re Mann" and today she and Nihira Joshi are known as the most versatile singers since Kavita Krishnamurthy and Asha Bhosle.

आँख चुराके काहे ऐठे हो सावरियां
हो मुंह फुलाके काहे बैठे हो सावरियां
आँख चुराके काहे ऐठे हो सावरियां
आँख मिला ये जाम उठा
नशे बिना जीना कोई जीना है बावरियां
Rum मे गम को डुबाके
ज़रा पी ले मोरे सावरियां
ज़रा पी ले ज़रा मोरे सावरियां
ऐसे वैसे जैसे तैसे जीना भी कोई जीना है
ग्लास मे दारू लेके पीना भी कोई पीना है
ऐसे वैसे जैसे तैसे जीना भी कोई जीना है
ग्लास मे दारू लेके पीना भी कोई पीना है
सोचना छोड़ bottle को फोड़
नशे बिना जीना कोई जीना है बावरिया
Rum मे गम को डुबाके
ज़रा पी ले ज़रा मोरे सावरियां
Rum मे गम को डुबाके
ज़रा पी ले ज़रा मोरे सावरियां
एक बार एक बार होतो की तू लाली ले
एक बार एक बार दिल को खोल गाली दे
एक बार एक बार चाहे जिसको आँख मार
एक बार एक बार पकड़ कर के प्यार
हा आज बोलेगा जो कगा तू right है
रात को पीके आज चंदा भी tight है
आज जो बोलेगा जो करेगा तू right है
रात को पीके आज चंदा भी tight है
बादल हटा दिल को पटा
नशे बिना जीना कोई जीना है बावरियां
Rum मे गम को डुबाके
Rum मे गम को डुबाके
ज़रा पी ले ज़रा मोरे सावरियां
Rum मे गम को डुबाके
ज़रा पी ले ज़रा मोरे सावरियां
मुंह फुलाके काहे बैठे हो सावरियां
आँख चुराके काहे ऐठे हो सावरियां
आँख मिला ये जाम उठा
नशे बिना जीना कोई जीना है बावरियां
Rum मे गम को डुबाके
ज़रा पी ले ज़रा मोरे सावरियां
Rum मे गम को डुबाके
ज़रा पी ले ज़रा मोरे सावरियां
Rum मे में में में
पी ले हा हा जी ले मोरे सवारियां
The song “Rum Me Gum” by Sunidhi Chauhan is a party anthem that glorifies the act of drinking alcohol and getting intoxicated. The lyrics are simple and straightforward in their message, urging listeners to let loose and enjoy themselves with a glass of rum. The singer questions why one is sitting with a heavy heart and stealing glances when they can drown all their sorrows in a glass of rum. The lyrics further suggest that drinking and living life recklessly are better than living life without any kind of excitement or thrill. The singer emphasizes the importance of letting go of one’s worries and letting alcohol take over. The phrase “Rum me gum ko dubake” translates to “drown your worries in rum” and is repeated throughout the song.
The lyrics of the song may be controversial to some, as alcohol consumption is often stigmatized and frowned upon in certain cultures. However, the song’s catchy tune and lively beats have made it a popular choice for parties and celebrations. The song’s message is not necessarily promoting alcoholism, but rather encouraging people to let loose and have some fun in their life.
