Dear Friends,

The above duet is the only duet of Lata Mangeshkar & Suman Kalyanpurkar.

Learned members pl comment on this.


Most of the time having a melodious voice can be a blessing for a singer, however it can be a curse if singer’s voice resembles one of the best in the industry. In this situation the singer whose voice resembles “number one” of the industry, is expected to play second fiddle to top singer by the trade. Such singers are short-changed and called upon to sing only the if top singer is not available or if the top singer had a fallout with the music director or a fight with other co-singer. It sometimes happens that the a particular singer in this situation may get short-changed in terms of getting playback assignments for songs meant for her/him. Or sometimes the music director does not want to work with them because he prefers othertop singer all the time and does want to take chances with upcoming singers. This is what exactly happened when Suman Kalyanpur’s voice closely resembled with that of Great Lata Mangeshkar. Suman Kalyanpur got short-changed although she was a very good classical based singer. Suman Kalyanpur thus got far less assignments than what she deserved despite her strong classical base.
After getting bad experience in the film industry, Suman Kalyanpur opted for doing concerts for her friends and relatives in the confines of their homes and left Hindi Film industry permanently.

I perosnally loved Suman Kalyanpur’s voice especially her classical based songs.
