Jaddanbai in the 1930s and Saraswati Devi in the 1950s were accomplished composers. They were followed by Usha Khanna (of Dil Deke Dekho fame) who had a prolific career composing music from 1959 through the early 2000s. Sneha is only the second woman, after Usha, to receive a Filmfare nomination for best music director in 2012 for her work on the Gangs of Wasseypur series.
