KS Chitra recently participated in an interview and shared her experiences in cinema. Vairamuthu, Ilayaraja and many others gave me many ideas to make me better when I came as a singer. Even if I make a mistake while singing, they point it out and tell me to correct it in the next song.
That’s how I once got an opportunity to sing a song in Deva music. At first SBB sir said that he can’t sing that song and left. But I can’t say that. I thought what to do. But Deva sir is gentle. I went to him and said, Sir, can you change this one line only, it is very vulgar.
He also converted and I tried. Don’t take it today. He told me to buy another one and leave now. Never called me after that. A few days later I went to Ilayaraja sir’s studio. Then he called me and asked if Deva sir told me that I can’t sing in the studio.
Yes sir, I said that the lines were vulgar. He said, why are you looking at all that? Your job is only to sing and no poet would write like that on purpose. They write only what is necessary for the story. He said your job is to give voice to their writing. It was only then that I understood what I had done wrong, he said.
