She was very popular in early 90s. People loved her a lot.  It was like she could have achieved the same stardom as Lata Mangeshkar. But she restricted herself to T-Series only that switched to devotionals more than film music and it affected her career.

Things that affected her career

Her husband's untimely death in 1991

Decision to work with T-Series only affected her film singing career

Gulshan Kumar's death

Overall she has a very well decorated career.

Lata is unmatchable and the most talented Indian female singer of Bollywood.
