India, June 2 -- V eteran playback singer Suman Kalyanpur, known for classics such as Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyaar Ke Charche (Brahmachari, 1968), Na Na Karte Pyaar Tumhin Se Kar Baithe (Jab Jab Phool Khile, 1965) and Tumne Pukara Aur Hum Chale Aaye (Rajkumar, 1964), died at her Mumbai residence on Sunday evening due to age-related ailments. She was 89. Her last rites were held with full state honours on Monday. Kalyanpur was among the defining voices of Hindi and Marathi cinema through the 1950s, '60s and '70s, and was honoured with the Padma Bhushan in 2023. She recorded under legendary composers including Naushad, S D Burman, Roshan, Shankar-Jaikishan and Kalyanji-Anandji. Though her voice was often compared to that of late legend Lata Mangeshkar, Kalyanpur carved out a distinguished identity with a repertoire that spanned generations. Born Suman Hemmady in Dhaka, then part of British India, she recorded in several languages, including Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Assamese, Kannada and Odia. She is survived by her daughter, Charu. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde were among those who paid tribute to the veteran singer and her contribution to Indian music.
