My Take
Suresh Wadkar represents the kind of artist I find endlessly respectable: the playback singer whose voice carries films while staying out of the spotlight. Lending his sound across Hindi, Marathi, Bhojpuri, Konkani and devotional bhajans is no small feat, it demands range and humility in equal measure. The Padma Shri in 2020 confirms what his decades of work already proved. I'm drawn to performers who serve the art rather than their own fame, and Wadkar strikes me as exactly that. There's a warmth in his voice that I think outlasts trends. He's a singer I'd happily spend an evening discovering.
