We met and talked to Vaikam Vijayalakshmi who had recently come to Coimbatore…
At what age did you start singing?
Everything for me is Sangeet. I started learning Carnatic music at the age of five. Since then I have been learning music continuously. Because music is like an ocean. No one can learn it completely.
About the new films you sang recently?
In Tamil, I have sung in the films Palace 3 and Neelakanda in both Tamil and Telugu. I have sung in three films in Malayalam. Here are some more pictures.
Which composer still prefers to sing in music?
It has been my long time dream to act in the music of Ilayaraja and AR Raghuman. The day they sing in music will be a happy day for me.
