Ranu Mondal became a household name after a video of her singing Lata Mangeshkar's Ek Pyar Ka Nagma Hai at Ranaghat railway station surfaced on social media earlier this year and it went insanely viral. The singer was soon approached by music composer-singer Himesh Reshammiya, who invited her to the singing reality show Superstar Singer, where he features as one of the judges. She also recorded two songs for Himesh's film Happy Hardy And Heer.
Ranu Mondal trended big time after her singing was reviewed by legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar. Ms Mangeshkar, in an interview with news agency IANS, said, "Agar mere naam aur kaam se kisi ka bhala hota hai toh main apneaap ko khush-kismat samajhti hoon (If anyone gets benefited by my name and work, then I feel fortunate)." The singer added, "But I also feel imitation is not a reliable and durable companion for success. By singing my songs or Kishore Kumar's or Mohammed Rafi saab's or Mukesh bhaiya or Asha Bhosle's numbers, aspiring singers can get short-term attention."
