In her Bollywood career, Alka has sang agreat number of female solos. Hum Tum, Agar Tum Saath Ho, Kabhi Alvida NaKehna, Gali Mein Aaj Chand Nikla, and many others are among her most memorable works. Her songs have since become cult classics.
In an old interview, Alka Yagnik accusedanother great singer Anuradha Paudwal of duplicating her songs without herknowledge. According to IBTimes, the singer retaliated against Paudwal in the 1997 issue of Filmfare for dubbing her songs Dil Ki Kalam Se, Ye Ishq Bada Bedardi Hai, and O Ramji from Itihaas.
Alka Yagnik further said, “At times I feelthere are no ethics in the industry. She (Anuradha Paudwal) is back to singingfor films and those songs will be out in the market soon. So why step all over me and do it surreptitiously when I wasn’t in town?”
The ‘Shairana' singer also told themagazine that producers approached her about dubbing Anuradha's tracks. She, onthe other hand, declined and offered that it be re-dubbed by Paudwal herself. According to the report, they attempted to contact Anuradha Paudwal for three days in order to get her side of the tale, but were unsuccessful.
The magazine subsequently contactedItihaas' producer-director, who revealed that the film's soundtrack rights hadpreviously been controlled by Amitabh Bachchan's ABCL. However, they were unable to advertise it due to the company's financial difficulties. Gulshan Kumar then bought the song rights, promoted it, and had it dubbed by his singers.
Alka Yagnik also reacted to the report bysaying, “All I can say is that she has stooped too low. I am flabbergasted.”
