Beautiful tribute by Anu Malik Ji. It's touching how he remembered her blessing from 1981. Suman Kalyanpur was indeed a giant of Indian music. Her songs like 'Tumne Pukara' still give me chills. 🙏
Such a class act! Suman Kalyanpur was part of that golden era when music had soul. Anu Malik's words show how much she meant to the industry. Also, Anuradha Paudwal's tribute was equally heartfelt. The younger generation should listen to her songs to understand real melody.
It's lovely to see artists acknowledging their inspirations. Suman ji's voice had a divine quality. I just wish our media would celebrate such legends more while they are alive. Still, better late than never. Om Shanti.
What a graceful tribute from Anu Malik. He mentioned her blessing "You are melodic in your creations and shall go far" - and look how far he went. Suman ji had an incredible eye for talent. Her legacy is immortal through her timeless songs.
