Anuradha Paudwal

Anuradha Paudwal is a renowned Bollywood playback singer who dominated the industry for a short period but had a shining career for over three decades in Indian film industry having sung in almost all Indian languages. But she is most popular as a singer in Marathi, Kannada and Hindi films followed by Bengali films too. The singer had no formal training but used to practice many hours listening to Lata Mangeshkar Lata Mangeshkar, the veteran playback singer, had >> Read More... ’s songs always. Anuradha got her first break in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s film ‘ Abhimaan Abhimaan is a Hindi daily soap that aired on DD Na >> Read More... ’(1973) by singing a Sanskrit sloka for music composer S.D. Burman. In the same year, she made her debut in singing career in Marathi with the film ‘Yashoda’ and in 1974, she recorded non-film Marathi songs ‘bhav geeten’ that became very popular. She got her first few Bollywood assignment in movies named 'Kalicharan’, ‘Udhar Ka Sindoor’, ‘Dooriyaan’ etc.  

Although Anuradha has sung for various composers like Rajesh Roshan, Kalyanji Anandji, Usha Khanna, Jaidev, Bappi Lahiri, R.D. Burman, etc. her association with Laxmikant-Pyarelal proved a milestone in her career; she sang for films like ‘Hero,' Meri Jung,'’Ram Lakhan,' etc. Their association soon ended, and she preferred singing for new composers like Anand-Milind, Nadeem-Shravan, Jatin-Lalit, A. R. Rahman, Dilip Sen-Sameer Sen, Anu Malik, etc. 

Anuradha was at the peak of her career when she sang for films like ‘Aashiqui,' ‘Beta,' ‘Dil,' ‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin’ and ‘Saajan.' She was the ultimate voice then for Madhuri Dixit in all her films. The film industry commented that another Lata Mangeshkar had arrived after she sang for films like ‘Aashiqui.' But as she concentrated singing exclusively for "T-Series," for devotional songs and "cover-version" albums, it slowly affected her career.
