Actually, Arundhati Chatterjee (nee Holme Chowdhury) has quite
a substantial body of work spanning from the mid 70s to the present
day and covering Tagore, Bengali non-film and film songs. Her
earliest hit IIRC was a non-film song "aa.Nkhi jale tomaari naam
likhe shudhu jaa_i" around 1975-76. This song used to get a
fair no. of requests on radio-listener's choice programs for over
a decade. Can't recall anymore stats for the song. Around the
same time she had another hit for a Bengali film named
"Swati",(1976-77) song was "jete jete kichhu kathaa". This song began
her association with MD Hemant Kumar and she became the female
voice in Hemant movies in the early 80's (replacing Lata and Arti M.)
and also recorded a duet Tagore album with him in 1983 (which IMO
was a prestigious feat for her). She has sung for other MD-s
including SalilC. Informally, she can be considered
the Bengali female voice on screen and off in the '80s.
She is married to singer Shivaji Chatterjee who as you know sang
the 'ye safar bahut kaThin hai magar' song in RDB's 1942-ALS.
