She didn't have the squeaky/sweet voice that was popular back then, so she lost out. Love her Awara Bhanwre.

hema desai sounded like alisha chinow in this song with sonu nigam when i was growing up i always considered this voice of alisha 😆

^^Did not know that Hema sang that song. Will listen to it now.

And yes, I love that song from Hogi Pyaar Ki Jeet! It's been sung beautifully. Actually, that entire album was good.

By the way, yes, Hema sounds a lot like Alisha, who also didn't get to sing in Bollywood much. She was famous primarily for her IndiPop work. Also, she fought with Anu Malik and Vishal-Shekhar, so that ruined her chances of making it big. Anu apparently misbehaved with her and Vishal-Shekhar were offering her very little money for some song, so she refused and disclosed the issue to the media.

Actually, come to think of it, even Sunidhi Chauhan didn't make it as big as I thought she would. Wonder what went wrong there.

From a more recent interview. She is still quite pissed off and didn't even take Anuradha Paudwal's name here:

Its become common for one artiste to dub out another's voice? You too faced this...

Yes... its awful. I don't want to rake up the past. A singer used support of powerful people to do this. I had faith in my talent and God. Dirty tactics can only take you so far. Using her influence with a big music company, she dubbed my songs in *Dil* and *Itihaas*. If she enjoyed the supported of a company she could bring out more of her own albums, why mess with others' careers? Thankfully this is the only instance of underhand dealing that comes to mind. If there have been others, I wouldn't know.
