She is the descendant of Shri Annamacharya, a carnatic music veteran
There was a talk show with her in a popular Tamil channel
She is doing a wonderful job of explaining the meaning of Shri Annamacharya’s kritis and spreading his message
The advantage is that Telugu is her mother tongue in which language Annamacharya has written his songs
She has a good knowledge of carnatic music and Tamil language also
One point that is noticeable is that Raagam and Thaalam are not the only things that are essential for scintillating music but Bhaavam (literally it means, the expression on the face of the singer) which comes into force only when the person singing knows the meaning

Doctor, everything is fine but we could not digest the way you attacked Saint Thyagaraja indirectly.
Leave alone attack; you never made any passing reference either to Annamacharya’s contemporaries or predecessors or followers
Is it that you the great, great grand child of Annamacharya?
Is music such a narrow thing Doctor?
We have never heard of any war between the two great giants of music
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us come to Doctor Meenalochani’s comment that Annamacharya never pleaded with God listing his bodily ailments and his shortcoming but always sang the greatness of Shri Balaji of Tirupati.
Doctor, that is one way of reaching the Almighty.
Saint Thyagaraja’s name is popular not because of any other reason but he put his soul into music and if at all there is carnatic music it will not be an exaggeration if we claim it is because of Thyagaiya
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doctor, since you have immense knowledge, going above narrow barriers of blood relations will elevate you and also we will get more pearls out of your wisdom
You will agree with us that both Annamacharya and Thiagaiya are revered as the two eyes of music.
