Sunakshi Raina

Sunakshi Raina was a talented singer. Raina was the youngest in a family of four. Her mother is a fashion designer; her father is a civil engineer who works in a Government company as the General Manager, and her elder brother is a mechanical engineer. She was the closest to her brother though she was loved and pampered by everyone in her family. She started her singing career by participating in Sony TV’S popular singing reality show Indian Idol season 4 in 2008. She also had a YouTube channel. She gained exposure after Eclectica approached her to be a part of their new project Chaiti (folk music). She was the lead singer in the project and had shot videos with them. She had also recorded music. But during the final stages of the project, she passed away due to an operation on her kidneys. She died on 24th December 2013.

She is described as a beautiful person with a melodious voice. The Chaiti project was a part of the many projects undertaken by the Anahad Foundation by Abhinav. It was set up as a non-profit organization to recognize and preserve classical and folk music in India. To complete the project of which she was part, the team decided to raise money. They managed to raise $15,000, which was more than they had expected. To give tribute to this beautiful soul who left for her heavenly abode so young, Eclectica decided to make an animated video since their main singer was a huge part of their project.
