Kalpana Gandharv—A Rising Voice from Mumbai’s Musical Heart

Kalpana Gandharv is a talented Indian playback and classical singer who has been gaining attention for her soulful voice, versatility, and traditional depth. Born and raised in Mumbai, Kalpana comes from a musically enriched family. Her father is a violinist, her mother sings semi-classical music, and her maternal grandfather (Nanaji) was a ghazal teacher—music flows naturally in her veins. Coming up in this atmosphere provided her with an early exposure to Indian classical music, film music, and ghazals, all of which influence her music today.

Kalpana's musical education was started at home, where she studied ghazals from her grandfather. Growing up among family members who performed in Bollywood orchestras, she acquired an instinctive sense of melody, emotion, and the subtleties that create a great singer. The grounding in semi-classical and classical music—especially ghazal, thumri, and Sufi—provided the foundation for her distinctive artistic voice.

Her professional journey began with her debut song, “Old School Girl,” from the film Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015), composed by Tanishk-Vayu. She also lent her voice to the film Sarabjit (2016), but it was her recent performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi that brought her nationwide fame. The track “Ek Baar Dekh Lijiye,” which was done for the series and personally picked by Bhansali after a live audition, reflected her expressive depth and classical beauty. She described this experience as "a dream come true," and it turned out to be a career-defining moment for her.

Although classically trained, Kalpana is a firm believer in being versatile. In interviews, she has mentioned wanting to work in all genres—be it Bollywood playback, club tracks, Sufi, or ghazals. Her voice is rich and capable of meeting a range of moods, from a soothing romantic ballad to strong traditional pieces.

A polyglot fluent in several languages and one who is highly interested in Indian music, Kalpana is also on social media, where she interacts with the fans, gives them behind-the-scenes insights, and basks in the delight of singing. Her videos for her song "Ek Baar Dekh Lijiye" have also gone viral, with fans making reels and mashups out of her rendition.

Located in Mumbai—the epicenter of India's music and film world—Kalpana Gandharv is well-positioned to become one of the next big voices in modern Indian music, fusing the past with new tales. Her career has only started, but her voice already sounds eternal.
