Mumbai | March 2025 –
The voice that once stunned India on a reality show stage is now echoing across national headlines. Vaishali Made, Maharashtra’s pride and India’s melodic powerhouse, has just won the prestigious NDTV Entertainment Award 2025 for Best Playback Singer for her mesmerising rendition of ‘Madanmanjiri’. But this award is not just about one song—it’s a glowing tribute to her unstoppable journey in the world of music.
Let’s rewind and revisit the career of a singer who turned her voice into a revolution—and became a symbol of consistency, culture, and craft.
It All Started With Sa Re Ga Ma Pa – A Voice That Silenced the Nation
Vaishali Made first captured the hearts of millions as a contestant on Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009. From the very first episode, her rich, soulful voice set her apart. Each performance wasn’t just a song—it was a statement of talent, hard work, and destiny.
Placed under Himesh Reshammiya’s Rock Gharana, Vaishali delivered hit after hit, never missing a note or an opportunity to impress. She proved to be:
• 🎵 Versatile: Handling classical, folk, and Bollywood tunes with equal ease
• 🎵 Fearless: Taking on the toughest compositions without hesitation
• 🎵 Consistent: Winning hearts every week with impeccable singing
And when the finale came, India had already decided — Vaishali Made was the voice of the people. She won the show and secured a place in music history.
Playback Queen in the Making: From TV Shows to Cinema Screens
After her big win, Vaishali didn’t fade like most reality show stars. Instead, she skyrocketed into playback singing for both regional and Bollywood cinema.
Her voice has lit up Marathi television with unforgettable title tracks like:
• Kulvadhu
• Honar Soon Mi Hya Gharchi
• Majhya Navaryachi Bayko
Each melody carried her signature emotional depth, instantly connecting with audiences and making her a household name across Maharashtra.
But her talent couldn’t be contained in one state.
The Bollywood Breakthrough: Grand, Glorious, and Goosebumps-Worthy
Vaishali Made’s Bollywood journey began with a bang.
Her duet ‘Hum Tum’ in the film Damadamm! alongside Himesh Reshammiya introduced her voice to a national audience. But it was in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus, Bajirao Mastani, that Vaishali truly owned the spotlight. She gave her voice to not one, but two iconic tracks:
• 🔥 Pinga (with Shreya Ghoshal)
• 🔥 Fitoori
These songs became anthems, not just because of the visuals featuring Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, but because Vaishali’s voice gave them soul.
She later joined forces again with Shreya Ghoshal for ‘Ghar More Pardesiya’ in Kalank, cementing her name among Bollywood’s most respected playback singers.
And Now… Madanmanjiri – A Masterpiece Worthy of the NDTV Award
Vaishali’s 2025 win for ‘Madanmanjiri’ from the latest Marathi movie Phullwanti is more than just an award—it’s a celebration of years of dedication to her craft. The song blends timeless poetry with modern composition, and her rendition has been described as:
“A song that touches your heart before it even reaches your ears.”
Her control, expression, and ability to carry cultural richness into commercial music is what makes this track a standout. The NDTV Award only confirms what her fans have known all along — Vaishali Made is in a league of her own.
Why Her Career Journey Stands Out
Unlike fleeting fame stories, Vaishali’s career has been built on skill, not shortcuts. Here’s what makes her journey unique:
• 🌟 Talent First: Whether on reality shows or big screens, it’s always about the voice.
• 🌟 Rooted in Culture: Proudly Marathi, but universally appealing.
• 🌟 Consistently Relevant: From 2009 to 2025, she’s stayed at the top of her game.
• 🌟 Fearless Evolution: From folk to film, from TV to classical, she’s done it all.
• 🌟 Award-Winning Performer: Every stage she steps on becomes her home.
Final Note: She Didn’t Just Win Awards, She Won Hearts
From the stage of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa to the glittering red carpet of the NDTV Entertainment Awards 2025, Vaishali Made has proven that true talent, when backed by hard work, can last decades and break boundaries.
Her journey is a living example of what happens when discipline meets passion.
Congratulations, Vaishali Made! Maharashtra sings with pride.
