Chandralekha, house
wife ffrom kerala become viral in social medias with her nice voice and now she
done er first playback singing in Malayalam and she now moves to tamil
Chandralekha from
Vadaserikkara village in Pathanamthitta district made a foray as a playback
singer on Thursday by lending her voice to a duet in ‘Love Story’, a feature
film being directed by M Prashant.
The 31-year-old woman,
who hogged limelight after a video showing her singing the song from movie
‘Chamayam’ had become a YouTube hit, paired the song composed by newcomer
David Shon with Hariharan, a pioneer of Indian fusion music, a two-time
national award winner and recipient of Padmashri.
Intially, none took
notice of the video showing Chandralekha singing the song ‘Rajahamsame’ with
her child in her arms uploaded by her husband’s nephew in YouTube. Those
who heard the song did not believe it was
original.
After many comments
like that appeared in the social networking sites, Chandralekha added her
mobile number to the video resulting in a flood of calls from within India and
abroad. The video suddenly went viral. In just four days as many as 350,000
people viewed it.
The composers, who
heard her voice, came forward with offers to sing in their films. Chandralekha
has so far got offers from five composers. She has also an offer to sing for a
devotional album being produced by a Trivandrum-based music company.
Shon has taken the
credit for initiating Chandralekha into the playback singing by giving the song
set aside for Shreya Ghosal, who has made her mark as a leading Indian playback
singer by singing in films in Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada,
Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu.
Chandralekha, who could
not make use of forums available in the state for using her hereditary talent
due to the burdens of life, is stunned by the outpouring of love, affection and
encouragement.
Talking to reporters
after completing the song at a studio in Cochin, the gifted singer said her
biggest wish was to see in person K S Chithra, who sang the original song that
has transformed her life. Chandralekha had sung the popular song without any
instruments, including a microphone.
Chandralekha, wife of
Raghunath, wanted to pursue music but the conditions did not allow her to join
a music college. Though teachers in the school and college, where she studied,
encouraged her, the poverty at home tied her down to her dilapidate house.
Raghunath’s nephew, who
heard her singing at home, believed that the world will one day notice her
voice. He did his bit by posting her song in the YouTube. It has transformed
Chandralekha’s life and may help her fulfil her long-cherished dream to become
a playback singer.
