I got married rather late in life. I was an established Bollywood singer (Hawa Hawai, Nimbooda, Maar Dala), says Kavita Krishnamurti. The Padma Shri recipient may have married Padma Bhushan Dr.
L. Subramaniam late in life, but it worked out well for them. In their marriage, music is the bedrock, as is the love for their three children.
Q. How and when did you meet your husband, Dr. L.
Subramaniam? A. Around 1999, I got a call about a film, Hey Ram, a project being done by Dr. Subramaniam.
They wanted me to sing a duet with Hariharan. I remember going to the studio, and when I walked in, Dr. Subramaniam and Kamal Haasan greeted me warmly.
Hariharan was also present. It was a beautiful evening. I had heard of Dr.
Subramaniam as the great violinist. I had heard his music, though not too much of it, and I was worried that, since he is not a typical Bollywood composer, the song might not be within my range. My fears were unfounded.
It was a very pretty song but had a tricky line that involved gliding from a high note to a low note and then returning to the middle octave to sing. Once he showed me how to do it, I pulled it off in a couple of takes. A post shared by The Free Press Journal (@freepressjournal) Q.
What were the qualities that you liked in him? A. He was a great musician in the South Indian classical tradition and simultaneously had a deep knowledge of Western music. He has travelled around the globe, is very polished and educated, and has a peaceful personality.
