Filmfare Nomination for Best Female Playback Singer -- Preeti Sagar for the song "My Heart is Beating"..........

Preeti Sagar is a former Bollywood playback singer who won the Filmfare Award for Filmfare Best Female Playback Award for the folk song Mhare gaon.. in Manthan.

Preeti is an accomplished singer with basic classical knowledge in music and singing. She shot to instant fame with her English song My Heart is Beating keeps on repeating in Rajesh Roshan's Julie. She won a special Filmfare award for the same.

In spite of all the accolades and the awards somehow she didn't really manage to sustain her position in bollywood. Comparison with Geeta Dutt and Asha Bhosle somehow stunted her growth as a singer and she couldn't carve a niche for herself in the industry.

She decided instead to focus on the children's entertainment and education industry. She worked with SaReGaMa to create several children's nursey rhyme collections in Hindi and English. She also created a Fairy Tales series.

She now runs her own production company called Angela Films which does advertising, short films and feature-film dubbing. In the 1990's, Angela Films produced the hit children's TV show, Phulwari Bachcho Ki.

She lives in Mumbai with her husband and two daughters.
