Claim to fame:
'Yeh rishta' from 'Meenaxi'
She says : "I have many memories attached to 'Yeh Rishta'. It was my first commercial recording in a professional studio. And I am grateful for the support and encouragement I received from both (AR) Rahman Bhai, Owais (Hussain) and MF Husain during the recordings! It's not the run-of-the-mill 'filmi' love song. It's more about the internalisation of emotions rather than an overt declaration of love! The lyrics are beautifully written and it was all about experimenting with different vocal expressions of the lyrics until the melody was born. "I am touched by how well the song has been received! I recently began training with Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan, to whom I was introduced to by Rahman bhai in London."
