Earlier life

So it happened that Alka sang for a radio station when she was only six years old. When Alka was ten years old, her mother brought her to Bombay to try her luck as a playback singer for children's roles in the film world. She was advised to wait for her voice to mature, but her mother persevered. Then Alka got a letter from Raj Kapoor to audition. He was very enthusiastic about her voice and sent Alka to Laxmikant , a well-known producer. There she was given the choice of either working immediately in film dubbing or later as a playback singer. She chose the latter.
