The recipient of several accolades including a National Film Award, four Filmfare Awards (winning consecutively during 1990–92) and two Odisha State Film Awards, she has been honoured by the Government of India with the Padma Shri, the country's fourth-highest civilian honour for her contribution in the field of arts.
Paudwal made her debut from a Sanskrit verse in the 1973 Hindi film Abhiman, composed by S. D. Burman. She has also sung in films including Marathi, Tamil, Odia, Nepali, Bengali and Kannada.
Early days and Success:-
She started her music journey in 1973 from film Abhiman. In 1970s, she sang a few popular songs which were praised by the music composers as well as public.
She obtained popularity from her song Tu Mera Janu Hai in film Hero. After that in mid-80s, she sang along with Mohammed Aziz and gave one after one hit songs and established herself in the music industry. It was the time when Anuradha Paudwal was given preference over Mangeshkar sisters.
Anuradha's career started with the movie, Abhimaan, (starring Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan).
In 1976, she got her break as a playback singer in the movie, Kalicharan, (which starred Shatrugan Sinha and Reena Roy). Her first solo was in the movie, Aap Beeti, (starring Hema Malini and Shashi Kapoor). Laxmikant-Pyarelal was the music-composing duo for that movie. She also occasionally sang songs which were composed by Rajesh Roshan (Des Pardes), Jaidev (Dooriyan, Laila Majnu), Kalyanji-Anandji (Kalaakar, Vidhataa), and Usha Khanna (Souten, Sajan Bina Suhagan).
Anuradha sang in a few Marathi movies some memorable numbers such as "Disate Majalaa" (in the movie, Ashtavinayak), "Raja Lalakaari", and "Kaalyaa Maatita Maatitaa".
She gained recognition when she rendered some exceptional numbers for the movie, Hero. (Laxmikant-Pyarelal was the music-composing duo for Hero.)
She collaborated with movie producer, Gulshan Kumar, and her success streak began with the movies, Lal Dupatta Malmal Ka, Tezaab, Ashiqui, and Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin.
At her peak, Anuradha announced that thenceforth she would sing exclusively for the music company, "T-series", and concentrated on devotional songs and "cover-version" albums.
After a five year break she resumed playback singing for movies, including popular numbers like "Kismat Se Tum" (Pukar), "Akeli Hai Yeh Mis Khiladi" (Mr & Mrs Khiladi), "Zara Aankhon Se Kajal" (Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehtein Hai), "Chaha Hai Tujhko" (Mann), "Jogiya"' (Deewane) and "Intezar" (Paap).
Personal Life:
She was married to Arun Paudwal (died 1991), a music composer, with whom she had a son Aditya and a daughter Kavita, a singer by profession.
Anuradha survived a helicopter crash in 2002 in Madhya Pradesh.
On 12 September 2020, her son Aditya died of kidney failure.

Send a message to your loved ones, especially the elderly, now that the rainy season has started
नव्या नवतीचं बाई लकाकतं रूप
The newly-wed bride looks fresh and beautiful in her ornaments
माखलं ग ऊन जणू हळदीचा लेप
The unmarried girls have applied turmeric paste on their skin and are busy collecting wool

The lips are smiling but the pain of separation is like a raindrop

Until now, how many times have we prayed and chanted

Let us gather courage and save our souls

१९७७ साल असावे. वडिलांची सातारा जिल्ह्यातून परत माघारी नाशिक जिल्ह्यात बदली झाली. दोन बिऱ्हाड घेऊन सातारी ट्रक घेऊन आम्ही चिल्लेपिल्ले ट्रकच्या केबिनमध्ये बसलो होतो. पाऊस पडत होता. मध्यरात्र झाली होती. ट्रकमध्ये टेप होता. त्यावर हे गाणं सुरू होत. सातारी ट्रक ड्रायव्हर प्रेमळ होता. तो वडलांना म्हणायचं, ' लई बारकी पोरं हाईत साहेब तुमची.' त्याचे ते वाक्य व हे गाणं कायमचे स्मरणात राहिले आहे. काळ मोठा कठीण होता, पण गाण्यामुळे सुसह्य झाला एवढंच...!
