A banker by fashion, Babul Supriyo left a secure
job to pursue a career in playback singing. With
hits like Dil Ne Dil Ko Pukara from Kaho Na Pyaar
Hai, Hum Tum among others Babul Supriyo has firmly
established himself in Hindi film music scene. Babul
Supriyo was born as Supriyo Baral in Kolkata. His
grandfather Banikantha NC Baral was a famous
Bengali vocalist and his dad Rai Chand Baral was
one of the acclaimed composers. Babul trained in
music under the guidance of both his grandfather
and dad and from a very young age he started
performing at concerts.
Babul was a bright student
at school and his degree fetched him a job at
Standard Chartered Bank, but his heart always
yearned for music so he followed his heart and he
left for Mumbai. Babul didn’t get a big break
and was crooning for cover versions of Kishore
Kumar’s songs. The singer got his first break in
‘Ekka Raja Rani’ in 1994, but the music
didn’t quite get that popular. Babul’s career
was revived by Rakesh Roshan, who gave him a
chance in blockbuster ‘Kaho Na Pyaar Hai’ in
which he sang the famous “Dil Ne Dil Ko Pukara”
all the way to success.
The singer finally got his
dues as he rendered his voice for projects like
‘Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai’, ‘Hungama’, ‘Hum
Tum’, ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’, Ek Aur Ek
Gyrah, Andaaz, ‘Fanaa’ and ‘Krrish’.
Babul also lost 24 kgs to feature in his pop
video, which was shot in Greece along with Miss
India Niharika. Babul
is currently working on his acting debut.
