According to Kumar Sanu, he doesn’t often listen to his own songs because he worries he would hear anything wrong with the way he sung a certain song. He dominated Bollywood tunes in the 1990s and still has a sizable fan base.
In addition to many other languages, Kumar Sanu has performed over 21,000 songs in Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Marathi, Bhojpuri, Nepali, Manipuri, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi, Odia, and English.
In an interview with Indian Express, Kumar Sanu said, “The funny thing is, I don’t often listen to my own songs! I only listen to my songs if my kid plays them; otherwise, I never do! If I find anything incorrect, I feel like it will come back to haunt me. I thus never listen to my tunes again out of dread. That’s enough for me; people hear them and have done so for more than three decades.
The title track of Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya (1998) and Tum Par Hum Hain Atke Yaara from the same movie are very dear to Kumar Sanu, he said in an interview with Hindustan Times earlier this week.
Kumar Sanu listed a few songs that were on his playlist at the time in a 2021 interview with Hindustan Times. Please write from your perspective, he urged at first. I’m not sure. I don’t listen to brand-new music. The singer responded, “Alright, my own songs?,” when it was recommended that he identify classic tunes and even his own numbers. Kuch Na Kaho (1942 A Love Story), Ab Tere Bin (Aashiqui), Do Dil Mil Rahe Hain (Pardes), Jab Koi Baat Bigad Jae (Jurm), and Naraaz Savera Hai (Sangharsh).
Beginning in 1984, he originally began his career as Sanu Bhattacharya. He also provided the vocals for the Bangladeshi film Teen Kanya from 1986, and in 1988, he made his Bollywood debut with Hero Hiralal. He soon became one of the most in-demand vocalists in the Hindi cinema business, penning popular songs for movies like 1942: A Love Story, Aashiqui, Saajan, Deewana, and others. In 2015’s Dum Laga Ke Haisha, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar, he just made a return.
