The Screen Songstress of Sridevi: Kavita Krishnamurthy

Though the legendary singers Lata Mangeshkar and Aasha Bhosle perhaps did more playback songs for Sridevi than her, the link between Kavita Krishnamurthy and Sridevi is undeniable, starting from Hawa Hawaii to Na Jaane Kahaan se Aayi hai, Kavita had that pizzazz in her voice that suited Sri to the T.

When Sridevi passed so unexpectedly, Kavita said, "I was totally devastated upon hearing this news. The first thing I remembered was her smiling face. She was really gentle, and not talkative. Not just Hawa Hawaii (Mr India; 1987), but we also did songs for films such as Khuda Gawah (1992). I looked forward to how she would emote the song on-screen. She had very expressive eyes."
