LIFE SPACE INVESTIGATION: Born in April 1952, pt is the youngest amongst 3 sisters and a brother. She was born and brought up in Kashmir with MGP’s. She had a beautiful childhood. She was good student. She belonged to a singers family so she had to learn some form of music. In 1976 she had an arranged marriage and later came to Mumbai. She continued to sing. H was the adopted son of a rich family. ‘He is exactly opposite to my nature.’ She started teaching in 1984 in various colleges like SNDT Thadomal and SVP Engg College. H was very bitter. In 1987 the real son of that family sent a legal notice stating that he is not a share holder and is not even a family member. It was a major setback. But she took it well and never grudged. Later the real son removed her MIL from the house so the pt took her to her home and took care of her. She was in Hyderabad in 1993-96 and worked there too. The she came back to Mumbai. No one can dictate to me as I don’t dictate to anyone. In 1989 there was an emergency and she could not return to Kashmir. Her house was looted. Only the shell was left and it was sold for pittance. She had to move in with her son and Daughter-in-law and had to make a lot of adjustments. ‘I lost my independence’. She had to stop singing due to Asthma. She was depressed but now better.
