The Beginning of Alka Yagnik’s Magical Voice In Bollywood
In 1980, Alka Yagnik received her first opportunity to sing as a playback singer in Payal Ki Jhankaar. There was no looking back for her as whichever song she was singing turned out to be a massive hit. In 1981, she added another song to her illustrious list of Alka Yagnik songs, the female version of the eternal song “Mere Angane Mein” from the blockbuster movie Laawaris starring Amitabh Bachchan.
But, the song that brought her under the limelight and showered name and fame upon her, which she still enjoys, was “Ek Do Teen” from the movie Tezaab (1988). The song picturized on Madhuri Dixit is still on the listener’s list and made the actress recognizable. Of all the Alka Yagnik songs, this song made her win her career’s first Filmfare Award for the Best Female Playback Singer. After that, when she was at the peak of her career, i.e. in the 90s and 20s, she recorded five songs daily.
Alka Yagnik did not limit her singing to just one genre. She has even sung a few seductive songs that are still trending solely because of how she sang them and the excellent music. The notable seductive Alka Yagnik songs are “Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai” from the 1993 movie KhalNayak, which she sang along with Ila Arun. This song too fetched her a Filmfare Award for the second time that she shared with Ila Arun. In 2013, Sanona conducted a poll in which this seductive Alka Yagnik song was voted as the hottest song of the century.
