Meet the woman, singer in the film that made Salman Khan a superstar, earned crores, she got just Rs 76, is a famous..

Padma Bhushan-winning singer Sharda Sinha, who is hospitalized in the ICU of AIIMS Delhi, is most popular for performing Indian folk songs, especially during Chhath Puja festivities. Hailing from Bihar, Sharda Sinha has also sung a number of popular songs in Bollywood films, including Kahe Toh Se Sajna in Salman Khan’s Maine Pyar Kiya, Babul in Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit’s Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, and Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur (part II). She sang the song Taar Bijli in the film.

Made on a budget of Rs 1 crore, Maine Pyar Kiya made over Rs 45 crore at the box office and was a super hit. It was Salman Khan’s breakthrough film in the film industry, which earned him the title of superstar. Directed by Sooraj Barjatya, Maine Pyar Kiya created history at the box office. For the film, Salman Khan charged Rs 30,000 while the lead heroine Bhagyashree charged Rs 1 lakh. However, you will be surprised to know that for singing Kahe Toh Se Sajna in Salman Khan’s Maine Pyar Kiya, Sharda Sinha received only Rs 76, which is quite low compared to the film performance and how much her contemporaries earned.

After Maine Pyar Kiya, Sharda Sinha did not sing any Bollywood songs for a long time. After more than twenty years, she then sang the song Taar Bijli Se Patle in Gangs of Wasseypur.

Sharda Sinha is currently in hospital and has been kept in AIIMS for the past week. Her health condition has made fans more emotional as it happened just a few weeks after the death of her husband, Brajkishore Sinha.

Sharda Sinha was shifted to the intensive care unit after her health deteriorated and she reportedly had difficulty eating and drinking for the past few days. The hospital has not yet released a statement on the rumors.
