You'll remember her for the unforgettable rendition of the 1980s hit, Ek do teen, from the movie Tezaab.She can very well be called as the Lady with the Midas TOUCH. Any song that fends her sensational vocals to, has to field a place in the countdown charts.

Today, her list of actresses spans from Sharmila Tagore, Rakhee and Rekha to Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherjee, Amisha Patel and Kareena Kapoor. There is no significant composer she has not sung for, and in the case of the toppers she has consistently been the first and most frequent choice of names like Laxmikant - Pyarelal, Anand Milind , Nadeem - Shravan, Anu Malik, Rajesh Roshan and Jatin - Lalit.
