Sudha: Guest, the enthusiasm of my rasikas keeps me going besides my own goal that I need to reach. Further, film songs are dependant on time availability and quality of the song.

 Rasikapriyan: Your Guru MLV encouraged her students a lot. In fact she might have probably had the maximum number of "support" singers in the form of students. today youngsters like Sanjay Subrahmanyan have kept their disciples with them on stage to sing along.

Sudha: Nanda, go ahead.
