Sulakshana Pandit was a prominent name in Hindi cinema during the 1970s and early 1980s, celebrated for both her melodious voice and graceful screen presence. Born into the illustrious Mewati Gharana, she came from a family of renowned musicians — her uncles included classical legend Pandit Jasraj, and her brothers Jatin and Lalit Pandit formed the famous composer duo Jatin–Lalit. With music running in her veins, she carved her own niche as both an actress and a playback singer.

As a singer, Sulakshana lent her voice to several memorable songs for top music directors of her time. She sang alongside legends like Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, and Mukesh, delivering evergreen numbers such as “Tu Hi Sagar Hai Tu Hi Kinara,” which earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer in 1975. Her voice carried a rare blend of classical depth and emotional purity, making her one of the most respected female vocalists of her generation.
