PULSE WCW: The Beautiful Simran Merali Makes 21 Today, a Glimpse Into Her Creative Arts Journey Thus Far


Latest News | 2020-12-02

You’ve seen her hosting the MTN Pulse Vibe Show or probably listened to her on radio. Either time, I am sure she had your attention with her playful sweet voice that she can easily sprinkle a gangsta touch to.

Our Woman Crush today is Pawar Simran Merali (she says it’s okay to call her Simz) and she’s made 21 years old. The timing couldn’t be more perfect.

 

Ms Simran Merali is a radio show host on Nxt Radio (Crazy Town), a TV personality, content creator, poet, musician and rapper, an artist and in more general terms, what you’d call a Creative.

How do you afford to be this young, focused in your work and already in the skies? That’s a question that was stuck in my mind the entire time I interviewed this charismatic young lady, that is very friendly and warm by the way. She’s a complete Vibe, no doubt she’s killing that show.

 

She went to Agakhan Nursery, Primary and High School and is currently pursuing Journalism and Film in Media Studies at Victoria University in Uganda.

You know what they say about being passionate about your work and how that’s directly connected to success at the same. Simran may be a living example of that.0

“I am having a great time hosting MTN Pulse Vibe, the entire team and cast have been hands on in the shootings, very creative and just bring the entire vibe together.” She intimated in our interview.

 

She credits her production team for what she terms as “being supportive and liberating in their artistic element.”

If you’ve been following attentively, you must remember we told you or already know that she’s also a rapper – among other sets of talent. And her role model is the now international Big Tril. Not to report far away from her own words, she said she “absolutely admires” the Party After Party hit maker.

Simran is motivated by her admirers and the people in her life that have believed in her from the word go. We have seen so many youths of talent give up on their dreams probably because they’re not motivated enough to push harder, but our WCW is thankful that her motivating factors do not relent.

“A great part of my job is driven by the people that look up to me. It makes me have no excuse even when I’m at my lowest, because I’ve got to be an example.” She says.

“There’s a whole bunch of little people that have messaged me and said I’m their role model. What kind of role model would I be if I gave up?” Simran added.

She also mentioned her sister Ms Farzana Merali, her best friend Kwezi and her late grandmom whom she says have been her biggest support systems and pushed her to be the best possible version of herself and work harder.

 

as well as my bestfriend Kwezi who talks me Out of quitting everytime I consider it an option. And my team at crazy town, Mark, Luckie, Hindiyo, Imran, Kk, and DJ el Nicho and Melvyn, they constantly remind me about how good I am at what I do which just keeps me going. And finally, my role model, Big Trill who I absolutely admire…

Simran advises young people in the Arts Industry to understand that they may for a long time be undervalued and unappreciated heavily by people. But she quickly adds that it shouldn’t demotivate them to give up on their dreams.

“People will not want to see you succeed, and when you do, they’ll come back around and try to live off your success. Make the most of your journey to stardom, be true to yourself and your art. Be unapologetically you, and express your self through your passion.” She urged young people.

She’s very prayerful. She prays everyday to maintain her relationship with God. Simran uses most of her weekend time to dive into books – to ensure that the good works in-front of the camera rhyme with her grades at school. Proving, once again, that it is possible to balance a busy work schedule with other commitments in life and succeed at them all.
