A birdy told me that Aishwarya wanted to sing this song and launch
her singing career as well. But it seems ARR refused and the song went to Bela
Shende. God knows how the song would have been if Ash had her way.

Not a word by word translation.
Bela Shende has sung the "Manamohana Kanha Suno Na
" song in the movie
Jodha-Akbar which was released quite recently and depicts the story of Mughal
king Akbar (played by Hrithik Roshan) married to a Hindu Rajput lady by the
name of Jodhaa-Bai (played by Aishwarya Rai). Bela is acknowledging the fact
that it was her dream to have worked with A. R. Rahman, the music director of
the movie and it came to fruition because of the recommendation by Ashutosh
Gowariker, the director of Jodhaa-Akbar.
The second para details Bela's tutelage in the Kirana gharana of Hindustani
music initially under her mother Mrs. Kusum Shende and also her grandmother.
Bela's elder sister Sawani is an accomplished classical singer in her own
right. Bela however has a natural inclination towards light music and two
sisters complement each other very well. Both Bela and Sawani visited Seattle
in 1998 and performed for Ragamala and the Seattle Maharashtra Mandal (this is
my part of the commentary J). Bela won the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa contest when Sonu
Nigam was the anchor and since then Bela started her playback singing career.
To her credit are albums like "Kaisa yeh jaadu ho gaya
", "Doorchya Ranat"
based on poet Mahanaur, and "Sahaj Tuzi Gaath Pade
" based on the famous poet
G. D. Madgulkar. She has also provided playback for films like Ehsaas, Paheli,
Uttarayan, etc. She has sung songs in Marathi, Hindi, and Tamil.
She then goes on to acknowledge how A. R. Rahman put her at ease with his
recording practice for songs he directs. A. R. was openly appreciative of
Bela's singing of the song after Ashutosh had explained the situation in the
film in detail. The recording started at 11:30 pm and ended at 4:30 am. Bela
didn't get to listen to her own recording until almost 8 months after she sang
it at the time of the music release of the film. By that time there was a lot
of orchestration added to the song and it came out way better than expected.
Bela then talks about the advantages and disadvantages of "talent-hunt" shows
like Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, etc. She mentions that getting a foot in the door of the
Hindi film singing is no easy task, but staying in the industry is even more
difficult with so much talent around. She says that whoever stays true to
professionalism will survive and succeed in the industry.
