Alisha Chinai Unfiltered on Bappi Lahiri, Kishore Kumar, Anu Malik, Bollywood & More | Podcast

In this powerful and emotional podcast, Alisha Chinai opens up about her extraordinary journey through Indian music — from being the voice behind iconic hits to facing controversies, industry challenges, and mental health struggles. She talks about working with Bappi Lahiri, singing for legends like Sridevi, Kajol, Aishwarya Rai, creating India’s pop anthem Made In India, performing with Kishore Kumar, and why today’s songs feel “plastic”. Alisha also addresses singer underpayment, the evolution of pop music, the controversy that changed her life, and her experiences with harassment. This is Alisha like you’ve never seen before — raw, real, and unapologetically honest. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 - Precap of today’s podcast 01:23 - First Break with Bappi Lahiri 05:21 - Singing for Sridevi, Kajol, Aishwarya Rai & others 06:09 - Singing for Kajra Re 07:40 - Mr. India song with Kishore Kumar 11:20 - Current songs are plastic 12:48 - Tinka Tinka is my favourite song 15:56 - Rise of Pop songs in India 17:12 - Made In India is the anthem of India 23:35 - Singers are underpaid 28:50 - I am not drunk on success 34:30 - Singing with Zubeen Garg 36:50 - The song that created controversy 41:38 - I left my home 42:59 - Mental Health Issues 47:50 - Childhood memories 52:45 - Indian films are not real 56:20 - Harrassment from Anu Malik 01:01:02 - End Note Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkJZQddO3XTCdcLjN019FjA/join The views and opinions expressed in this interview are those of the interviewee and do not reflect the views of Pinkvilla Media Pvt Ltd Hit that subscribe button for epic celebrity house tours, podcasts, candid chats with your favorite stars, makeup magic, lifestyle, and so much more!
