‘Bihar Kokila’ Sharda Sinha’s top songs: From Chhathi Maiya Aayi Na Duaariya to Hum Aapke Hain Koun’s Babul

Sharda Sinha sang Barh Re Jatan Se, Dwar Chekai, Patna Se and Koyal Bin. She lent voice to Bollywood songs, including Taar Bijli from Gangs of Wasseypur- II.

Sharda Sinha, also called ‘Begum Akhtar of Mithila’, was the melody behind Chhath Puja and many a celebration in the region – and outside it too. Her songs echoed with the sounds of generations of folk singers who came before her, her voice earthy and imbued with the memory of home. The singer died on Tuesday night following a long battle with multiple myeloma. It was just four days after her 72nd birthday on November 1. Wednesday is the first day of Chhath celebrations, a festival she was always associated with. (Also Read | Sharda Sinha’s son Anshuman Sinha mourns his mom’s death, shares details about her last rites)

About Sharda’s musical journey

Sharda always released a song during the festival and did so this year too not withstanding her ill health. A trained classical singer who effortlessly melded the folk in her many songs, Sinha was hailed as the voice of her people and often called ‘Bihar Kokila’. The Padma Bhushan recipient, whose career spanned more than five decades, lent her voice to songs in Maithili, Bhojpuri and Magahi languages.

Let’s take a look at some of her popular songs:

1) Chhathi Maiya Aayi Na Duaariya

Sharda sang the song in Bhojpuri and it released in 2003. It was part of the Sakal Jagtarini Hey Chhati Maiya album. She was also the composer of the song. The lyrics was written by Vinay Bihari. The song became widely popular since its release and has always been played during the festival of Chhath Puja.

2) Kartik Maas Ijoriya

The song sung by Sharda is from the album Aragh which released in 2005. It has been composed by Shailesh Thakkar and lyrics have been penned by Jyotindra Mishra.

3) Ho Deenanth

The song is from the album Chhathi Maiya released in 1986. Apart from singing the song, Sharda was also its music director as well as lyricist.

4) Babul

The song sung by Sharda is from the 1994 film Hum Aapke Hain Koun, directed by Sooraj Barjatya. The film stars Madhuri Dixit, Salman Khan, Mohnish Bahl, Renuka Shahane, Alok Nath, Reema Lagoo and Anupam Kher. In the film, it was picturised on Mohnish and Renuka when their characters got married. The song was sung by Sharda with music by Raamlaxman and lyrics by Ravinder Rawal.

Sharda lent her voice to the song from the 1989 film Maine Pyar Kiya. It has been featured on Salman Khan and Bhagyashree. Directed by Sooraj Barjatya, the film also starred Alok Nath, Mohnish Bahl, and Reema Lagoo. In the song, Salman and Bhagyashree’s characters are seen working at an under-construction building and spending time with each other. The music was composed by Raamlaxman and the lyrics by Asad Bhopali.

About Sharda’s health, family

Sharda, who had been suffering from multiple myeloma since 2017, had been on oxygen support in the intensive care unit of the Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital (IRCH), the cancer institute of AIIMS, since October 27. She is survived by her children–Vandana and Anshuman. Just weeks ago, they lost their father, Braj Kishore Sinha, to a brain haemorrhage after a fall. It was a hard blow for the already ailing Sinha.

Over the years, she received various honours besides the Padma awards. These include the Rashtriya Devi Ahiliya Samman, Bihar Kala Puraskar, Bihar Ratna, Bhojpuri Ratna, and Mithila Vibhuti Samman.

NewJeans’ Hanni gets reported as Illegal immigrant to customs amid ADOR contract termination: Report

NewJeans’ Hanni gets reported as Illegal immigrant to customs amid ADOR contract termination: Report

NewJeans has ended its contract with ADOR, leading to potential legal troubles for member Hanni regarding her visa status.
NewJeans members have recently terminated their contract with their management agency, ADOR, though the agency maintains that the contract remains valid. While the group is now operating independently, at least from their perspective, new troubles are looming. On December 20, 2024, 10Asia reported that NewJeans’ member Hanni was reported as an illegal immigrant to South Korean Customs.

NewJeans’ Hanni reported as an Illegal immigrant

According to the reports, an unidentified individual filed a complaint, demanding her deportation. Hanni holds dual citizenship requiring her to renew her visa in South Korea annually. Earlier, rumors circulated about Hanni’s visa expiring soon. However, ADOR previously stated they were preparing to extend her visa as usual, since they don’t acknowledge the contract termination. This suggests no immediate visa issues for Hanni or the group.

However, the situation has become more complicated since NewJeans publicly announced their contract termination. Legal experts believe that if the group continues to operate independently, Hanni’s visa, which was initially granted through ADOR, could become invalid.

Out of the five members, Daniel has dual citizenship in Korea and Australia, so she’s all good. But Hanni, who holds dual citizenship in Australia and Vietnam, is definitely considered a foreigner and needs to get visa extensions every year.

If Hanni’s contract with Adore was indeed terminated on the 29th of last month, her visa would no longer be valid and she could be considered an illegal resident. Under the Immigration Control Act, she should have left South Korea by the 13th of this month. Since Adore claims the contract is still valid, it’s unlikely they would consent to a visa transfer under the act that allows people to change workplaces without needing a new visa, but the agency they work with must agree to the change.

What is an E6 visa in South Korea?

Foreign entertainers in South Korea typically rely on E-6 visas, sponsored by their management agencies. These visas allow them to work in the country. E6 is typically issued to entertainers, artists, and athletes. However, if the contract with the agency ends, the visa can become invalid.

Since NewJeans has announced its intention to leave ADOR, Hanni may need to find a new agency to sponsor her visa or face the possibility of having to leave South Korea.

Hanni has the option to renew her E-6 visa by signing with a new agency; however, immigration law requires that she obtain approval from her previous agency first. At the same time, HYBE, the parent company of ADOR, has been in conflict with the former CEO of its subsidiary, Min Hee Jin, for several months, which has unfortunately impacted NewJeans. Since ADOR is disputing the termination and pursuing legal action, it is unlikely that they will grant the necessary approval for Hanni’s visa renewal.

South Korean immigration law also requires individuals to apply for a visa change or secure a new contract within 15 days of termination, which has already passed. The last option for Hanni is to leave South Korea and apply for a new E-6 visa abroad.
