Linu Lal asked that Nanchamma would not be able to sing a normal song even if given a month’s time and wouldn’t this recognition be considered an insult to those who have devoted their lives to music. Following this, many people came with reactions in social media in favor and against Nanjamma. In this situation, Nanchamma clarified her position to Asianet News.
“The National Award controversy does not matter. Criticism is treated like a child’s speech. No offense to anyone’ Nanjamma said
Linu Lal said
Was Ayyappan and Koshi’s Nanchamma song the best song of last year in India, or was it the best song? I doubt it. I have no grudge against Nanjiamma. I like that mother very much. That folk song is well sung. This mother has come to one or two of our venues. If you put a pitch, you can’t sing according to it. Should an award be given to such a person?

There are many people who have studied music since the age of three and four and have dedicated their lives to music. There are famous ones and not so famous ones. Such people do not eat cold and spicy food and do not go to cold places. Those who think that music is nothing but starving. It’s not their business. So there are many people. If there are many such people, give the National Award for Best Female Singer to this song sung by Nanchamma.
I don’t think it is possible to make a new song and call Nanchamma and take her to the studio and sing it. I don’t think Nanchamma will be able to sing normally even if given a month. We have heard Das sir sing all eight and path songs live. There are many great singers like Chitra Chechi and Madhu Chetan. Don’t they find it an insult?
Ayyappan and Koshy have sung that song in the movie Aa Amma very well. Therefore, a special jury award could have been given to that mother. In my opinion, the best singer could have been given to a good singer. You can criticize me. This is just my opinion.
