Next guest: Begum Parveen Sultana

She is one of the top female singers of the  patiala gharana. Her voice easily spans 3 octaves, rare for an indian classical singer.Have had the honour of listening to her live about a dozen times and also meeting her. An amazingly simple soul, very child like and full of fun,  maintaining her dignity  both on and off stage. her singing literally gives you goosebumps.

Here is her most famous Bhavani Dayani !

Let us see if the manage a coup of sorts getting Pandit . Rajan and Sajan mishra on this show😃

 She was born in 1950😊

May be, you have mistaken her with Suraiya or shamshad begum?
