Leading Bengali singer Sandhya Mukherjee (90) deserves more than a Padma Shri junior artist and does not fit her level.Sandhya Mukherjee’s daughter Soumi Sengupta said that even though she had announced her name as a recipient of the Padma Shri, my mother had told her superiors on the phone from Delhi that she was not ready to take it.She said it was an insult to her to be selected for the Padma Shri at the age of 90.She responded as above when contacted by central officials seeking her consent to be named Padma Shri in the list of awards.Sengupta said, “Being selected for the Padma Shri at the age of 90, after nearly eight decades of life as a singer, is a disgrace to her status as a singer.” The Padma Shri is the fourth after the country’s highest civilian awards, the Bharat Ratna, the Padma Vibhushan and the Padma Bhushan.“Padma Shri is more for a junior artist .not for Geetashree Sandhya Mukhopadhyay .her family and fans will feel with the songs,” he commented.

Music is very important in Bengal.

Many singers from the state, including SD Burman, Anil Biswas, Madan Mohan, Roshan and Salil Chowdhury, have made their mark in the Hindi film industry.Sandhya Mukherjee received the Banga Bibhushan, West Bengal’s highest civilian award in 2011.

The award was instituted after Mamata Banerjee came to power.The first award went to the singer.She was also nominated for a National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer in 1970.However, the nominees for the Padma Awards are rarely rejected.

Earlier, the Padma awards were announced for popular singer S.Janaki and Bollywood film writer Salim Khan, but they declined.Also, eminent historian Romilla Thapar returned the award, which she had announced in 1974, in 2005 in protest of the 1984 Golden Temple event.Although the author Kushyant Singh returned the Padma Bhushan for the same reason, he received the Padma Vibhushan again in 2007.

Leading singer S Janaki has been denied the Padma Bhushan award he received in 2013.Asked what is the benefit of giving Padma Bhushan after all this time .he refused to accept the Bharat Ratna award if he gets it.He said he did not want the awards and that the fan support was enough.sandhya mukhopadhyay,padma awards,sandhya mukherjee,padma shri award,padma vibhushan,sandhya mukherjee interview,sandhya mukherjee classical songs,padma awards reaction,sandhya mukhopadhyay rejects padma shri award,padma shri award sandhya mukhopadhyay,sandhya mukherjee bengali songs,sandhya mukherjee padma sri award,sandhya mukherjee about padma shria wards #SandhyaMukherjee #PadmaShriAward #SingerSandhyaMukherjee charun Pid: 1885286
