Ila Arun

What do you get if you combine the husky charm of Geeta Dutt’s voice and the resonating rhythm of Shamshad Begham along with the simplicity and the pageantry of Rajasthani folk music? The answer, of course, is Ila Arun. Referred to as the undisputed queen of the contemporary Indian folk-pop music, apart from Daler Mehandi, she is the only folk-pop star in India whose non-film albums have been superhits in the last few years. Each of her albums is a well-planned, well-coordinated effort. Almost all her albums have achieved either Gold or Platinum status. Her “Vote for Ghaghra” has been particularly successful with sales of about 200,000 units. Starting from “Banjarin” to the latest “Khichri”, she has 10 very successful albums to her credit. Best known for sensuous film numbers like "Choli Ke Peechhey Kya Hai" from "Khalnayak" and "Morni" from "Lamhe, Ila Arun continues to reign supreme in the pop music world.
