Kalyanpur, who was one of the top singers of the time along with Mangeshkar, told PTI the latter's voice was a guiding force for everyone. The duo had recorded a duet for the film 'Chaand'.
"It is unimaginable that her unique, melodic voice, which was like our guide, has left us. Someone of our own has passed away. There's this emptiness within," Kalyanpur said.
"Everyone loved her songs, and she will be immortal. We recorded a duet together for the film 'Chaand'. Everytime I met her, it felt like I met a close friend. I believe she felt the same," the 85-year-old added.
Kalyanpur said some of Mangeshkar's songs were an integral part of her growing up and continue to have an impact on her.
"I grew up listening to songs from films like 'Lahore', 'Aarzoo', 'Nirala' and 'Anakali', which I still remember and love. May she rest in peace," she added.
