We used to go to blind schools for hours. We used to spend time with real-life visually impaired people.

An eyewitness reports, Sanjay Bhansalis production team was short on cash that day. They requested she defer the payment for a few days. To everyones shock Alka refused point-blank. Paise nahin toh gana nahin, were her words. Of course the cash was arranged somehow. And she sang the duet Chand Chupa Baadal Mein with Udit Narayan, and went away with her money. But that was the end of Alka in Bhansalis cinema.Alka Yagnik was supposed to sing all the songs of Hum.Dil Chuke Sanam. She ended up singing only one. The rest were done by Kavita Karishnamurthy.For his next opus Devdas, Sanjay Bhansali was determined to find a voice in the Lata Mangeshkar mould to replace Yagnik. This is when Shreya Ghoshal met Sanjay Bhansali.Bhansali immediately sensed her talent, began grooming and modulating her voice, working on her Bengali diction, etc., says the source.The rest as they say is history.
