Yesudas and S P Balasubrahmanyam are two exceptional singers in the music world. Malayalees have often heard and read about both singer’s food habits. While one person maintains strict diet control as part of voice protection, the other is quite different.

Now, singer K S Chithra has revealed about the food habits of both the singers, while talking in a television programme.

‘I am a person who eats a lot. But, I am a vegetarian also. I used to eat non vegetarian food before, but the bones and thorns in it are disgusting. I would eat the cleanest piece only. Now, I am completely vegetarian.

Dasettan has told me a lot of things about food. When we see food in the buffet, we will feel like experimenting. Once, out of curiosity, I took prunes and decided to eat it. But, Dasettan didn’t allow me to eat it saying that it will cause throat problems. He won’t let me eat peas as well.

SP sir is against this. He used to say that diseases are caused because of paying over attention to diets and food habits. Let’s see what happens, that was his attitude. He will ask me to eat whatever I like. But, SP sir was also a vegetarian. He used to eat a lot of ice cream and ice water’, Chithra said.

‘I have sung numerous songs while suffering from cold’, she added. The song ‘Nettiyil poovulla’ was sung in such a situation. After singing that song, Fazil sir mocked me saying that he heard ‘baattu’ instead of ‘paattu’.

‘I have felt that my voice suits actresses such as Urvashi, Shobana and Nadiya Moidu in Malayalam cinema. I have heard many people saying that my voice suits Telugu actress Soundarya’, she added.
