Anuradha Paudwal clears rumours of
Lata Asha not allowing new talent to come forward

Undoubtedly, Lata Mangeshkar was hailed as the nightingle of India. The legendary singer continues to remain in the hearts of people forever. Her passing away has left a huge void difficult to be filled in.

But when she was at the peak of her career, there were rumours and speculations about Mangeshkar and sister Asha Bhosle not allowing newer talent to come forward.

In a fortright media interaction,Anuradha Paudhwal dismissed these rumours and showered praise on both these sisters.

Recounting the moment that marked her entry into Bollywood,

Anuradha amidst a chat with the media said it all began with a simple recording. When Burman sahab was composing the music for Abhimaan released in 1973 he wanted a small shloka (stanza) for the introductory scene of Jaya Bachchan.

He asked her husband (Arun Paudwal), who was his music arranger, to come up with something, and he did, but while sending the recording to him, he asked her to record it in her voice. The moment he heard her voice, he asked Arun about her and he told him that he didn’t need Lata ji for such a small part and that she should sing it, and that’s how things began for her.

Even though it was a brief piece, Anuradha considers it a privilege, a moment that set the tone for her long-standing career in playback singing.
