Madhushree was born in Kolkata and has been part of numerous superhit songs like Kal Ho Na Ho, Kuch Na Kaho, Tu Bin Bataye and Inn Lamhno Ke Daaman Mein, among others. She was the first to immortalise the song Chaap Tilak Sab Cheeni with her voice. The song became a superhit that many singers tried to carve into their voices.

In the initial years of her career, Madhushree used to record her music on CDs and sent it to notable people in Bollywood. Javed Akhtar noticed the melody in her voice and helped her make a playback singing debut through Rajesh Roshan’s Moksha. Her songs for the movie Tehzeeb credited her name as Sujata Bhattacharya instead of Madhushree. The album was composed by AR Rahman and gained her fame. She got the breakthrough with the song Kabhi Neem Neem. She also received the prestigious Sony Stardust Award as the Best Female Sensation for the song.
