Singer Ila Arun’s daughter, Ishitta Arun, recently opened up about why she does not want to pursue a singing career, despite her mother holding a significant place in the industry with her unique voice. Ishitta believes that Ila’s husky and deep voice led to typecasting, which limited the types of songs she was offered.
In a recent podcast with Cyrus Broacha, Ishitta reflects on her experience with music training and industry expectations.She reveals that her decision not to pursue formal music training stems from observing her mother being confined to singing only specific types of songs due to her deep voice. Ishitta shares her frustration with the industry’s bias toward high soprano voices, which are often seen as the ideal standard, citing iconic singers like Shreya Ghoshal and Lata Mangeshkar as examples. “It’s like the poster Indian voice—the girl is always Shreya Ghoshal or Lata Mangeshkar,” she mentioned.
