Ila Arun Talks About Choli Ke Peeche, Royalties, and Her Love for Music {update}

Ila’s Daughter Speaks Up

Her daughter, Ishitta Arun, who is also a singer and actor, recently expressed disappointment over Ila not receiving the kind of opportunities she truly deserved. Speaking on the podcast Cyrus Says, Ishitta mentioned that her mother had much more depth than the songs she got to sing in Bollywood. She believed that Ila’s independent tracks, like Reshma, showcased her talent far better than some of the commercial numbers she recorded.

However, Ila sees things differently. “That’s the daughter in her speaking, not the artist. The industry is commercial. Whatever works, stays. If my sad songs had worked, they would have lasted. I have no complaints. I love my industry. It has given me a lot,” she shared.

Theatre and Artistic Freedom

Though Bollywood doesn’t offer her the kind of work she prefers anymore, Ila finds her true artistic satisfaction in theatre. “The roles I want to do, I get in theatre. That’s where I invest my energy,” she explained. Apart from singing, Ila has built a strong career as an actor. She has worked in multiple films, television shows, and stage productions, proving her versatility across different mediums.

Ila Arun’s Autobiography

Adding another feather to her cap, Ila has now turned author with her autobiography Parde Ke Peechhey. The book gives an insight into her journey in the entertainment world, her struggles, her rise to fame, and her views on the industry. It’s expected to be an interesting read for fans who want to know more about her life beyond the limelight.

Looking Ahead

Despite all the ups and downs, Ila remains positive about her musical journey. She may not be as active in Bollywood playback singing today, but her songs continue to entertain audiences. With the royalties rolling in from Choli Ke Peeche, who knows? Maybe more of her classics will find a new life in today’s music scene.

For now, she’s happy with where she stands. “Music is forever. If my voice is still being heard, that’s all that matters.”
