According to the report, the singer had been battling age-related ailments in recent days. She breathed her last around 8 pm, marking the end of a remarkable musical journey that spanned several decades.

Born on January 28, 1937, in Dhaka, then part of undivided India, Kalyanpur emerged as one of the most graceful and refined voices of the golden age of Hindi cinema. Rising to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s, she built a distinguished career at a time when the industry was dominated by towering figures, yet managed to carve a unique space for herself with her soft, emotive singing style.

Her repertoire includes a wide range of memorable songs that continue to resonate with listeners across generations. Among her most celebrated tracks are “Aajkal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche,” “Na Na Karte Pyar Tumhi Se,” and “Tumne Pukara Aur Hum Chale Aaye.” These songs not only showcased her vocal finesse but also cemented her legacy as one of the most versatile singers of her time.

Kalyanpur’s musical versatility extended far beyond Hindi cinema. She recorded songs in multiple Indian languages, including Marathi, Assamese, Kannada, Bengali, and Odia, reflecting her pan-Indian appeal. In addition to film music, she earned acclaim for her renditions of devotional compositions, ghazals, and classical-based pieces such as thumris.

Her ability to convey emotion with subtlety and precision made her a favourite among music directors and audiences alike. Despite often being compared to her contemporaries, Kalyanpur’s voice retained a distinct identity marked by clarity, warmth, and depth.
