Ru-ba-ru with Dolly Guleria

quot;My parents wanted me to be a doctor, but it was only after marriage that with constant encouragement from my husband, I took up singing,quot; she said during the interaction.

Educated in Delhi, Dolly Guleria has two cassettes to her credit and is now busy working on an album Shiv Batalvi8217;s poems. Famous for her rendering of Batalvi8217;s poems, Dolly said being her mother8217;s daughter proved to be a challenge for her as she had to prove to the world that she had an identity of her own.

quot;I was constantly compared to my mother and had to convince my audience that I am a separate individual with my own identity,quot; said Dolly. The function was presided over by Bhag Singh, a well known film and theatre artist of Punjab, while Atamjeet Singh, another well known artist, introduced Dolly to the audience.
