The article contains references to indicate the significance of the person.

There are news articles from reputed news agencies from India mentioned as references to show that the singer is quite famous in the world of South Indian classical music and that she comes from a very illustrious musical lineage consisting of celebrated personalities in the field of Indian classical music and film music.

The youtube videos are trailers of the singer's ongoing daily television program in a popular Tamil Television Channel - Makkal TV. This has a wide viewership in Tamil Nadu, India and also several parts of the world with Tamil speaking population.

I have added additional news article references of this public figure from 'The Hindu' and 'The Mumbai Mirror' which are leading news agencies in India. I have also added 3 news article references which are in Tamil language from Dinamani which is a popular Tamil news media, widely read by tamil people from India and around the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ganeshchandrasekaran (talk • contribs) 08:05, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
