Unknown Certitude

When Narendra Chanchal got his stardom after the film “Bobby”, he gave singing Bhajans. Once when he visited the Ma Kali’s Mandir, he ignored signing hymns for Kali with silly replies like “I’m sick and cannot sing”. When he reached home he recognized that he could not sing and he had lost his voice where he believed that he had been punished by Kali for the ignorance. It is been believed that after 2 months of struggle Chanchal visited the same mandir, cried out for his mistake, and got his voice back. At that time he vowed that he will never give up singing Bhajans.
