P. Balasubrahmanyam in 1997. Smita's mother sent her singing tape secretly to Padutha Theeyaga. Around this time she started trying for some playback opportunities and she did get to sing a few playback songs. Her parents advised her that it was more apt to choose pop singing as a career as she had a style which is more suited for making of a pop artist. Hairabba was a result of this decision.
