Career

Beginnings and success

Before coming to Bollywood, she sang in radio shows. Her music career began in 1973 with the film Abhiman, in which she sang Sanskrit poetry for Jaya Bhaduri. In the 1970s, she sang some popular songs, which were praised by both composers and audiences, but were not very popular. At that time, she was singing as a voice actress.

She rose to fame with the song “Tu Mera Janu Hai” along with Manhar Udhas in the film Hero. She had been asked to “dub” the song to real-life singer Lata Mangeshkar. It was then decided that Lataji would sing the song in the actual recording. However, when music director duo Lakshmikant-Pyarelal heard Anuradha’s version, they decided that as the film also featured the debut of actress Meenakshi Seshadri, the song too should be sung by a new voice. She then performed with Mohammed Aziz in the mid-80s, and the duo became hugely popular with the audience. It was at this time that Anuradha Paudwal began climbing the ladder of success. She then sang with some of the eminent singers of the time and collaborated with many composers. It was then that she met Nadeem Shravan, who was having trouble at the time. She listened to some of their songs and asked him to compose for her. They composed 23 songs, which she sang with Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan, Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Babla Mehta among others. Ten of these were released as part of the Chahat album and later as film songs in the 1990 film Aashiqui. As an established singer

When the music for the film Aashiqui was released, she quickly became popular. She launched Anuradha Paudwal into success as a playback singer. This was followed in 1991 by Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin and Sadak, which were also huge successes. Several other albums released during this period established her as a singer and she was often given priority over her Mangeshkar sisters. When she was at the peak of her career, she decided to sing exclusively for T-Series. And after that, her hugely successful Bollywood career slowly started to fade, giving way to the rise of other playback singers like Alka Yagnik, Kavita Krishnamurti and Sadhana Sargam.

As a Bhajan Singer

After leaving Bollywood, she started singing religious songs. A day before Navratri, Gulshan Kumar asked Anuradha Paudwal to sing religious songs of Maa Durga. Anuradha sang these bhajans, which sold out as soon as they were released. She then started singing religious songs one after the other and never looked back. Her bhajans are very popular in India, especially Shiv Bhajan and Durga Bhajan. Besides Hindu Bhajans, she also sang religious songs of Islam, Christianity, Jainism, Buddha and Sikhism. She has sung thousands of Bhajans and is still active as a Bhajan singer.

Re-entry into Bollywood

After Gulshan Kumar’s murder in 1997, Anuradha Paudwal again started singing for other music labels. She started working again with Tips Industries, Venus Records & Tapes etc. She had some of the best songs and became popular again, but at that time Alka Yagnik was ruling the industry and Anuradha Paudwal did not enjoy the success she had earlier. She continued singing till 2006, after which she left Bollywood.
