In the 1990s, she adapted to changing musical trends, working with contemporary composers like A. R. Rahman. Even in the 2000s, her legacy continued with international performances and a Grammy-nominated album. Her recent collaboration with the band Gorillaz in 2026 highlights her ability to remain relevant across generations and genres.
