Sharmila Bardewa is a celebrated Nepali playback and modern singer renowned for her soft, expressive voice and an extensive career that defined many of the most beloved melodies of the late 1990s and 2000s. She established herself as a powerhouse in the commercial film and pop music industries, lending her vocals to numerous iconic movie soundtracks such as Nata Ragatko, Sagun, Aafanta, and Mitini. While many artists of her era leaned heavily into emerging synthesizer pop trends, Bardewa's discography was deeply admired for retaining an Adhunik (modern-classical) depth. Her timeless hits, including "Phoolko Jawaf", "Aankha Ma Jhaljhali," and the legendary movie track "Tasbir Mai Yasto", cemented her status as a nostalgic icon among fans of classic Nepali music.
Operating on an international stage, Bardewa has also showcased her versatility by participating in cross-border competitions and collaborating on diverse projects, including early Hindi duets and cover songs. Currently based in the United Kingdom, she remains actively dedicated to her musical roots by regularly utilizing platforms like TikTok and YouTube to engage with fans through fresh cover tracks, live performance archives, and virtual concerts. Her continuous artistry—including recent single releases like "Shiraima Shirphul" and collaborative recordings—ensures that her legacy as an evergreen voice of Nepal continues to reach listeners worldwide.
