Career
Although Indravathi does not have a classical singing background, she appeared on a show based on folk singers which was hosted by her sister Mangali. When music director, Devi Sri Prasad (also known as DSP) was looking for a fresh voice for the song “Oo Antava Mava Oo Antava”, Indravathi sent her video of singing on the show as her audition clip. She was selected and asked to give a voice test. This is how she bagged the hit dance number “Oo Antava Mava Oo Antava” in 2021.

Talking about her hit song ‘Oo Antava’, Indravathi says,
My joy knew no bounds when I learned that I was finalised for the song. Devi Sri Prasad sir patiently taught me to sing each and every line and got the best out of me. I’m ever grateful to the entire Pushpa team for this opportunity.”
Even Devi Sri Prasad (music director) gave due credit to Indravathi Chauhan, for the success of the song and said,
She did exactly what I wanted her to do — she was a very quick learner — and here we are today.”
