Kumar Sanu |
|
 Kumar Sanu along with Lata Mangeshkar holds the record
for the longest string of
consecutive Filmfare awards for Best Playback
Singer, a streak that made him the musical
discovery of 1990s.
Kumar Sanu was born Kedernath Bhattacharjee on September
23 1957 and grew up in Calcutta; his father Pashupati
Bhattacharjee was an accomplished classical vocalist
and composer, and saw to his son's early musical
training as a singer and tabla player. Getting a
degree in commerce from Calcutta University, Sanu
began performing publicly in 1979, singing at shows
and restaurants around Calcutta in a style heavily
influenced -- copied, some charged -- from film
legend Kishore Kumar. Finally, in 1987, music director
Jagjit Singh -- noted for his mastery of the romantic
ghazal song form -- offered Sanu the chance to sing
in the Hindi film Andhiyan.
It
was however Aashiqui that set the ball rolling
for Kumar Sanu. He sang all but one of the songs in the
superb album composed by Nadeem-Shravan. He went on
to sing hit songs in films like Sadak ('Tujhe apna
bana ne ki kasam khayi hai'), Deewana (The title
song), Baazigar (Title song) ('Kali kali ankhen),
Saajan ('Jeeye to jeeye kaise) ('Mera dil bhi kitna
pagal hai'), 1942 A Love Story ('Rim jhim', 'Ek
ladki ko dekha', 'Kuch na kahon'), Dilwale Dulhaniya
Le Jaayenge, ('Tujhe dekha to yeh jaana sanam'),
Pardes ('Meri Mehbooba', 'Do dil mil rahe hain'),
Kareeb 'Chori chori' and others.
His
recent hits include songs from Humraaz, Karz, Dil Ka Rishta, Indian Babu,
Ishq Vishk, Andaaz, Qayamat, Hungama, Footpath.
