With chartbusters like “Nazar Ke Saamne” and “Dheere Dheere Se,” he became an overnight sensation.

He went on to dominate the music charts throughout the 90s, becoming synonymous with Bollywood romance. His voice added soul to numerous love ballads and emotional tracks, earning him a loyal fan base.
