Birthday Special: Top 5 songs of Kavita Krishnamurthy

By Murtuza Iqbal

From the 80s to early 2000, Kavita Krishnamurthy ruled the silver screens with her wonderful voice. She has sung more than 25000 songs in 16 different languages and has won multiple awards including Padma Shri in the year 2005.


Today, Kavita Krishnamurthy celebrates her 63rd birthday, so let’s look at the list of top five songs of the veteran singer…

Hawa Hawai

The first song on the list has to be Hawa Hawai from Mr. India. Composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy, it is undoubtedly one of the most popular songs of the singer. Kavita Krishnamurthy got the perfect entertainment factor in the song with her voice.

Na Jaane Kahan Se

Kavita Krishnamurthy’s voice surely suited Sridevi. We have one more song on the list featuring Sridevi and sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy. Na Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai from the movie Chaalbaaz was surely one of the most enjoyable tracks sung by Krishnamurthy.

Mera Piya Ghar Aaya

Yaraana released in 1995, but even after 26 years, we still enjoy listening to the song Mera Piya Ghar Aaya from the movie. It is one of the most iconic songs of Madhuri Dixit and Kavita Krishnamurthy did justice to the track with her wonderful song.

Nimbooda

Nimbooda is remembered for Saroj Khan’s amazing choreography and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s fantastic dance moves. But, we cannot ignore that Kavita Krishnamurthy sang the track amazingly, and we surely can’t imagine anyone else singing the hook phrase with so much fun.

Dola Re Dola

Last on the list we have Dola Re Dola from Devdas. The song was a perfect package with fantastic music composed by Ismail Darbar, and melodious voices of Kavita Krishnamurthy and Shreya Ghoshal. Both the singers also won Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer.

CEO Namit Malhotra calls 'Dune: Part Two' Oscar win a validation for DNEG

MUMBAI-based visual effects company DNEG played a key role in the VFX for Dune: Part Two, which won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects this year. CEO Namit Malhotra sees this as further proof of India’s expanding presence in the global VFX industry.

“The country that does most of the visual effects, more than any other country, is India. There are more Indians working (on VFX) in any major Hollywood film than there are in Indian films. That is a unique reality we are already in,” Malhotra told PTI on Monday after the Oscar winners were announced in Los Angeles.

Netflix's 'Gone Girls' uncovers shocking new details in the Long Island serial killer case​

Netflix is diving back into one of America’s most chilling unsolved mysteries, the Long Island Serial Killer case. The upcoming three-part documentary series, premiering on March 31, 2025, revisits the decades-long hunt for a murderer who preyed on women and evaded justice for years.

The case first came to light in 2010 when authorities searching for a missing woman, Shannan Gilbert, stumbled upon four bodies along Long Island’s Gilgo Beach. Over the next few months, more remains were discovered, bringing the total number of victims linked to the case to at least eleven. Many of the victims were sex workers from the New York City area, sparking fears that a predator was specifically targeting them.

For over a decade, the investigation went cold. Despite the gruesome discoveries, law enforcement struggled to identify the killer. The breakthrough came in 2023 when authorities arrested 59-year-old architect Rex Andrew Heuermann. By 2024, he had been charged with multiple counts of murder, though he pleaded not guilty. His arrest marked a turning point in the case, offering some closure to families who had waited years for answers.

The Netflix series, directed by Liz Garbus known for the 2020 film Lost Girls, which dramatised the case takes an in-depth look at the investigation, the social stigma surrounding the victims, and how law enforcement handled the case. Through interviews with journalists, detectives, and people connected to both the victims and the accused, the documentary pieces together the long, frustrating search for justice.

Beyond just retelling the facts, the series highlights the systemic issues at play and how certain victims don’t receive the same urgency or attention, and how that impacts justice. It also raises tough questions about policing, media bias, and society’s treatment of marginalised women.

With new evidence and first-hand accounts, Netflix’s latest deep dive into true crime aims to shed fresh light on a case that haunted Long Island for years. Whether it will bring any new revelations remains to be seen, but for many, the hope is that revisiting the past will finally bring some long-overdue justice.

Millie Bobby Brown

The Stranger Things star challenges unfair media narratives and calls for more respectful reporting on young women

Millie Bobby Brown claps back at media over body scrutiny and unrealistic beauty standards

Millie Bobby Brown, the Stranger Things star, has had enough of the media’s relentless focus on her appearance. In a powerful Instagram post, she called out the toxic culture of body-shaming and unrealistic expectations placed on young women in the public eye. Her message was clear: growing up shouldn’t come with a side of public scrutiny and cruelty.

Starting her career at just 10 years old, Millie has spent over a decade in the spotlight. But instead of celebrating her growth, she says the media has always been fixated on her changing looks, criticising her for not staying the same as she was in Stranger Things Season 1. “People act like I’m supposed to stay frozen in time,” she said. “But I’m not a character, I’m a person, and I’m growing up.”


She didn’t hold back, pointing to specific headlines like “Why Are Gen Zers Like Millie Bobby Brown Ageing So Badly?” and “What Has Millie Bobby Brown Done to Her Face?” as examples of the bullying she’s endured. “This isn’t journalism,” she said. “It’s disturbing. Writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices. It’s not okay.”

What stung even more, she noted, was seeing women contribute to this kind of coverage. “We talk about supporting young women, but when it comes down to it, it’s easier to tear them down for clicks,” she said. Millie made it clear she won’t apologise for growing up or changing. “I refuse to shrink myself to fit someone else’s unrealistic expectations,” she added.

Her post struck a chord with fans and fellow celebrities alike, who flooded the comments with messages of support. Sarah Jessica Parker and Mckenna Grace were among those who praised her for speaking out. Millie’s message wasn’t just about her own experience rather it was a call to action for society to do better. “Let’s stop tearing young women apart for simply existing,” she urged.

Millie’s bold stance points out a larger issue: the pressure young women face to conform to impossible standards, especially in industries like Hollywood. By speaking up, she’s not just defending herself, but she’s standing up for every girl who’s ever felt judged for simply growing up. And that’s a message worth listening to.
