Ruckus in Bulandshahr
As soon as Renuka Panwar’s performance started in the Bulandshahr Festival, the atmosphere became musical. People started dancing and grooving to her superhit tunes. But this enthusiasm soon went out of control. Fans broke the barricades and moved towards the stage, threw chairs and created a ruckus. The police had to use mild force to control the crowd. While this incident raised questions on the preparations of the administration, the strength of Renuka’s fan following also came to the fore. But this is not the first time that Renuka has come into the limelight. The story of her life is no less than a film.
The journey started from small Khekra
Renuka Panwar was born on 29 April 2002 in a middle-class family in Khekra town of Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh. She is lovingly called ‘Shalu’ at home. Her family consists of her parents, two elder brothers and two nephews. Renuka was fond of singing since childhood. When other children used to play, she used to listen to old songs on her mother’s mobile and hum them. But the path to music was not easy. There was no musical environment in her family, and people in the village did not consider it good for girls to go into this field. Still, Renuka did not give up.
Days of struggle and brother’s support
Renuka’s elder brother Vicky Panwar played a very important role in her life. He used to take her to music companies in buses and trains. In an interview, Renuka said, “Brother used to tell me that you sing, I will take care of everything.” He would request the owners of the companies, but most of the places he was disappointed. Many times the song would be recorded, but the studio people would delete it. Music companies used to give importance only to big singers. At that time, Renuka used to get 2-3 thousand rupees for a song, and had to sing many songs a day. But her hard work paid off. In the year 2017, the song ‘Sun Soniyo’ was recorded with Pradeep Sonu’s company, which brought her to the eyes of the people for the first time.
’52 Gaj Ka Daman’ changed her fate
Renuka got real success when her song ‘Oonchi Haveli’ went viral. After this, ’52 Gaj Ka Daman’ changed her life. This song got more than 200 million views on YouTube and became a superhit track of Haryanvi music. This song made Renuka a star overnight. Today her net worth is said to be around Rs 5-6 crore, which is surprising considering her young age. Songs like ‘Chatak Matak’, ‘Balam Thanedaar’ also added to her popularity.
New sensation of Haryanvi music

She has also sung for famous actresses like Sapna Choudhary and Pranjal Dahiya. Her following on social media is in lakhs, where she keeps sharing glimpses of her life.
