Leading career[edit]
In the early 1970s, Ravindra Jain came to Bombay to try his luck. Before arrival of Ravindra Jain she
already sang more or less 100/150 songs. Initially, Ravindra Jain used her voice for his debut movie
"Kanch Aur Heera (1972)" then for "Rakh Aur Chingari (1974)", "Geet Gata Chal (1975)", "Salaakhen
(1975)" and for "Tapasya (1975)", which not have blazed the charts. However, Hemlata gained
recognition when Ravindra Jain gave her a break for movie Fakira (1976) for song "Sun Ke Teri
Pukar".
In the same year, Ravindra Jain used her voice for Rajshri Banner's movie Chitchor for which she
won the Filmfare Award. Thereafter, Hemlata had established herself in various movies of Rajshri
Productions in the 1980s and 1990s.
In association with Ravindra Jain, she had worked on many other songs. Among them is "Ankhiyon
Ke Jharokhon Se". According to the Binaca Geet Mala (a radio show that used to compile records of
album sales), it became the number one song in the year 1978. Hemlata was also nominated
for Filmfare award for the best female playback singer for this song. It has received millions of views
on YouTube.[4] Hemlata sang on Jain's cassette album Sahaj Dhara (1991) dedicated to Shri Mataji
Nirmala Devi, and sang songs from this album in two concerts in Brussels, Belgium in July 1992.[5][6]
She is the only Indian playback singer who has recorded maximum number of Hindi songs with K. J.
Yesudas.
In the 1990s, Doordarshan had invited her to perform "Tista Nadi Si Tu Chanchala"[7] along with K. J.
Yesudas and 'Saath Jo Tera Yun Paya' for herself under the composition of Ravindra Jain which
both songs were frequently broadcast on Doordarshan as a "filler" in between programmes,
especially in the evenings.
