MUMBAI: SP Balasubrahmanyam, fondly known as SPB, remains a celebrated figure in the annals of Indian music. Renowned for his mellifluous voice and unparalleled talent, SPB's journey to stardom was paved with challenges and poignant moments that shaped his illustrious career.

A recent anecdote shared by YouTuber and journalist Chitra Lakshmanan sheds light on SPB's early struggles in the industry.
