description: "Shobha Gurtu (1925–2004) was an Indian singer in the Hindustani classical style. Though she had equal command over pure classical style, it was with light semi-classical music that she received her fame, and in time came to be known as the Thumri Queen, and for the 'Abhinaya' sung in her full-throated voice. She was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 2002."
