Smita

Singing sensation Smita is the woman with the golden voice who has sung hundreds of songs for Telugu, Kannada, Tamil and Malayalam cinema in all of her lifetime. But most of all, it is as one of the the first pop-singers of telugu that she gained popularity. 

With a husky-sweet voice, Smita has been recognized for her singing talent right from the time that she was a kid. She won loads of competitions during her childhood. Major recognition came her way when she participated in the TV programme ‘Paduta Teeyaga’ one of the earliest versions of the Indian Idol in Telugu and reached the semi-finals. 

Smita says that she was disappointed when she lost in the semi-finals of the programme but she need not have been. She was already being recognized by then and got some of her first offers to become a playback singer. However, it was pop that Smita always was inclined to and that’s what led to the release of her first pop album, ‘Hairabba’. It was a huge hit. Later, ‘Masaka masaka’ was another album that she released which went on to get a million copies of it sold.

She later continued as a playback singer lending her voice to hundreds of songs after that. Smita still makes her own albums and sings devotional songs as well. Her latest album is Ishana, a compilation of some spiritual songs. Because of her popularity with telugu audiences, Smita has also bagged the role of a villain in the popular Telugu film Malliswari. 

Aside from being a pop-singer, playback singer and an actor, Smita is also a business woman with her own chain of beauty salons and fitness parlours operating in the city today. The exceptionally talented Smita is an inspiration for many aspiring artists and singers today.
