When Suman Kalyanpur shunned comparisons with Lata Mangeshkar

Published by Webster

After news of singer Suman Kalyanpur’s death came in on Sunday night, one noticed two common reactions. One was that she was the closest to sound like Lata Mangeshkar, and the other was that she didn’t get the accolades she deserved.  Both responses may be justified, but the fact remains that Kalyanpur had some iconic hits in the 1960s. Even today, songs like Na Tum Hamein Jaano (Baat Ek Raat Ki, 1962), Tumne Pukaara (Rajkumar, 1964), Na Na Karte Pyar (Jab Jab Phool Khile, 1965), and the super-hit Aajkal Tere Mere Pyaar Ke Charche (Brahmachari, 1968) rule radio shows and talent competitions.

Have you heard? Sanjay Dutt’s daughter Trishala on joinging Bollywood

Published by Webster

Papa, meri jaan Trishala Dutt once toyed with the idea of joining Bollywood, but not for the spotlight. Speaking on the Inside Thoughts Out Loud Podcast, she admitted it stemmed from a far more personal place: wanting to be closer to her father, Sanjay Dutt. “I did think about that when I was younger. I just wanted to be closer to my dad,” she said, recalling a phase where proximity mattered more than passion. Her father, however, offered a reality check wrapped in experience. “He’s been through hell and back. ‘Is this your calling?’” That question clearly stuck. Instead of chasing films, Trishala chose a different script — one rooted in mental health, carving out her own identity far from the shadow of cinema.
