Is whistling an art or a sport? It’s both and it’s beautiful. Swetha Suresh, Chennai’s (and the world’s) Queen of Whistles talks to us about how to whistle for 18 hours and how enjoyable it can be.

Here’s the song from Jilla (2013), with which Swetha had whistled into the hearts of Chennaiites. She kicks off the song and whistles back at 2:25. Enjoy.
