A playback singer whose classical training shaped hundreds of film songs and devotional tracks.
For a sense of her range, try 'Chanda re chanda re 2' or 'Udate Baadal Se Puuchho.'
Her voice first reached a national audience in 1986 with 'Teri Aankhon Ki Kasam. Tu Jhuuth Bolata Hai' from the film 'Tere Aankhon Ki Kasam.' That song established her in Indian playback singing. She has recorded hundreds of songs across film soundtracks, devotional music, and folk styles, like 'Jaane Bahaara Jaane Tamanna.'
She began singing in Mumbai as a child, learning classical music from teachers. After her 1986 breakthrough, she went on to record for several decades of Hindi cinema, earning Filmfare and National Film Awards.
