Legendary singer Alisha Chinai has been a force to be reckoned with in the Indian music industry for decades. With iconic hits like Made in India and Kajra Re, her voice has been synonymous with Bollywood. However, Chinai has been selective with her Hindi film music choices, citing a conscious decision to protest 'illegal' contracts that were being forced upon singers. In a recent interview, the 60-year-old singer revealed that the lack of fair play and copyright issues in the industry led her to refuse signing such contracts. Chinai's decision to stay away from Bollywood was also motivated by her desire to explore different creative avenues and address personal issues. Chinai's illustrious singing career spans the 80s to the 2000s, with a significant presence in the Hindi film industry. Although she has recorded only one song for a Hindi film since 2013, her success in the indipop scene has been remarkable. Albums like Babydoll and Bombay Girl established her as a distinct voice in the Indian pop music scene, while Made in India remains one of the highest-selling non-film soundtracks in Indian music. Chinai's revelation about 'illegal' contracts highlights the need for fair treatment and compensation for artists in the industry.
