Bollywood singer Alka Yagnik has said she had to work hard at the early stage of her career.
"My struggle was to get recognition in an environment where there were many stalwarts and I was new... I sang few varied songs and that's when people got to know I can sing all kinds of songs," she told PTI.
"I did not have to battle with hunger like many others. But mine was also a struggle - it was on the professional front," Alka, who had delivered a number of hit songs with Kumar Sanu and Udit Narayan said.
She delivered a motivational speech here earlier this week to FICCI Ladies Organisation where she was chosen to speak at the "Beautiful Sangam : Sur Aur Neeti", a pep talk session of women achievers in diverse fields.
