There are several stories about how Bhosle began her career singing rejected numbers of stalwarts like her own sister Lata Mangeshkar and other. She was typecast to sing for diva-vamp roles, adding her classic touch to all of them. But there were composers who gave her songs like 'Katra katra milti hai'. What an enlightening rendition.
