But, I am glad that owing to the gap between recordings, I am able to do a lot of stage shows. I feel that Hindi film music has lost its soul. “Though I don’t record a lot nowadays, its still music that keeps me busy. Hindi film music has lost its soul: Alka Yagnik I feel blessed to have sung songs like, Papa kehte hain, (QSQT), Ae mere humsafar (QSQT), Jaadu teri nazar (Darr), Pehla nasha (Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar 1992) and Tere naam (Tere Naam 2003).” This is the reason why most of the songs produced have a short life. In the earlier days, a lot of emphasis was given to lyrics and melody, unlike today. Yes, the number of Bollywood songs I do have gone down. I don’t ever feel that my songs have reduced in number, as I record in 35 languages.

“I feel blessed about my journey from Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (QSQT 1988) to ‘Radha teri chunri’, from Student Of The Year (2012).
