About not getting the National award she said to a daily, "I have missed it narrowly in some years. Moreover, some films with good songs are not entered for the National Awards every year. This is part of the game. If I am destined, I will get it one day."

She sang her first film's song when she was still in the sixth standard. Her first actual film is TOURIST BUNGALOW – Malayalam that released in 1974. Her first Tamil film song ('Kaadhal Oviyam Kandein') was not included in the film. However she took it as a good sign.

Her first released song Kalai Paniyil Addum Malargal was from Gayathri. She married Dr. Mohan in 1981 and moved to Chennai, which helped her to launch her career again. She made a comeback in 1989 through Priyadarshan's `Kadathanadan Ambadi.' Her songs in `Chitram' (1988) made her even more famous. In the Tamil films, she made a comeback through `Puthuvellai Mazhai' in A.R. Rahman's debut film `Roja' in 1992.
