Nandy Sisters: How Balcony Singing Has Made Them a Viral Music Sensation

How Did the Nandy Sisters Start?

Antara Nandy and Ankita Nandy, better known as the Nandy Sisters, have built one of India’s most refreshing musical identities online.

Music wasn’t a late discovery for the sisters, it was always around them. Antara stepped into the spotlight early, becoming a finalist on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs on Zee TV when she was just 10 years old. That moment introduced her to a national audience, but more importantly, it set the foundation for a long-term journey in playback and live performance.

Ankita’s entry into music came more organically during a dubbing session with her older sister, where her natural talent for music stood out. What started as a correction turned into a collaboration, and soon, a duo was born.

What began as a casual experiment soon struck a chord with audiences, turning their Balcony Concert series into the breakthrough moment that brought them widespread recognition.

• Singing in 15+ languages, from Tamil and Marathi to Korean and Spanish
• A minimal, relatable aesthetic during a time when audiences craved authenticity
• A strong emotional connection through music, not just performance

• Signature Nandy twist – multilingual or stylistic reinterpretation
• Visually intimate setup – staying true to their “balcony energy”It’s not just about the song, it’s about how they make it theirs.

Antara’s experience working with legends like A. R. Rahman (on projects like “Nis Din”) adds depth to their artistry, while Ankita brings a fresh, evolving creative energy to their content. Antara herself has also been recognized by MTV India, proving that their influence extends beyond social media.

Together, they strike a balance between polish and personality, something audiences keep coming back for.
