Kalpana"s just kidding.



Child's play.


Kalpana loves children.The singer is also mad about music.An as a judge for this reality music talent show,she prepared to enjoy the best of both worlds.She gets into a chatty mood about her childhood and her impressions of todays younger generation.



Little wonders Children are just amazing beings. Their confidence at such an early age surprises me.
Today's toddlers are so intelligent, they can handle most of the things with ease. They are smart, talented and are aware of their own likes and dislikes. But yes, too much exposure to technology and the world at such a vulnerable age takes away their innocence. Nevertheless, when I see these kids facing the camera, standing in front of experts with complete confidence in their talent, it amazes me. But I guess that it is the age of being carefree and fearless.

Daring mites My mother tells me that as a kid, even I was carefree and confident. I could sing in front of anyone and everyone without even an ounce of fear. Even today, I sometimes forget myself and get naughty with them. I remember, while on the sets of one of the reality shows, the kids were running around and I started running along with them. After a while, I had to be reminded that I am an adult and need to behave like one. But with such tempting company around, it is hard to resist.
Kid- o- logy Being around children is a treat. I feel rejuvenated. Their innocence is what touches me the most. Their little giggles, sweet fights, loud carefree laughs, talks, crying at drop of a hat are things that I adore. They are so easy to mould. They think from their hearts and will follow it without any guile. Whenever I do a kid's reality show, it is not only the good music I look forward to, but also the fun with these children. The bond gets so strong that they call me even after months of the show ending.

Kalpana in Nehle Pe Dehla – “Nanhe Suron Ka Maha Sangraam” a singing reality show where girls competing with boys.




Achhe Ghar Ki Ladkiya Nahi Gati Hai.


In a country with over a billion people, countless languages and multitude of musical influences, it takes special talent to stand out from the crowd as an entertainer. Luckily talent is what Bhojpuri singer Kalpana has sacks full of.
One of the most popular Bhojpuri singers in India right now, Kalpana came to attention in 2002 with her breakout hit album, Gawan wa leja Rajaji. Since then she has become a household name having performed on over 150 Bhojpuri film soundtracks, 100 Hindi film songs sung ,recorded more than 400 radio and television jingles and presented Sur Sangram’s season 1 & 2 and other TV shows.
Kalpana has been finalized as the judge for the upcoming show NEHLE PE DEHLA “Nan he Suron Ka Maha Sangraam” on Mahua Tv. The show will be on air from 4th February 2011 and showcase the singing prowess of children from both UP & Bihar. In an age where talent coupled with great looks gives one the extra edge, the versatile singer is leaving no stone unturned as she gets ready to make a smashing appearance as one of the judges on Mahua Tv’s childrens music reality show NEHLE PE DEHLA. Apparently, Kalpana has been meticulously planning her looks as she wants to look young and contemporary. New hairdo, revamped wardrobe, a chiseled body... Kalpana can give even the Bollywood heroines a run for their money. Hai na?
‘Let’s get innocent hearts closer’ the show will bring together raw talented kids from all over UP & Bihar. The participants will be in the 8-13 years age group. NEHLE PE DEHLA is a musical forum and opportunity for budding talent for children from UP & Bihar. Says Kalpana, Mahua channel came up with this unique concept, something different – a show that will have kids from all over UP & Bihar teaming up in a singing reality show where boys competing with girls. The girl’s team is boosted by Kalpana whereas the boy’s team is goofed by Pawan Singh.
Kalpana says, of course all the children are same for me, whoever sings well, performs well, will win. But as for me on a personal note, I support the girls for being participants, because when I entered the Bhojpuri industry, girl singers were not seen with very good eyes. Achhe Ghar Ki Ladkiya Nahi Gati Hai –the so called society believed it. I entered the industry with bhajans, modern songs and even hot item numbers – but proved that it is only professional matter. Singing can also be a career for girls. The scenario has changed and I am the lucky one to set a trend.
Kalpana is an amazing mentors and she has personally handpicked every contestants by indoor and outdoor selection rounds in Patna, Lucknow, Banaras and other places. At present she is busy with her world music project THE LEGACY OF BHIKHARI THAKUR to be released from Times Music, trying to relive the country’s long-forgotten treasure of Bhojpuri folk music.

Kalpana to boost the Girls team as judge on mahua Tv’s childrens music reality show Nehle Pe Dehla – “Nanhe Suron Ka Maha Sangram”.




I think I understand my culture and would like to make it appear as stylish as what I think I am myself. My Bhojpuri connecting is not only related to the fact that I am not a born Bhojpuria. I was initiated into it much later in my life and career. For me it’s like getting back to the roots. Its so colorful and heavenly that i feel that i am the chosen one.
