‘Main shayar to nahin,
Main shayar to nahin
Magar ae haseen
Jab se dekha maine tujhko
Mujhko shayari aa gayi’

Birthday wishes to Bollywood’s yesteryear singer #ShailendraSingh (04/10).

Shailendra Singh was born in Mumbai, India, on October 4, 1952, into a Punjabi family. Pursuing his passion for acting, he enrolled in the Film and Television Institute of India in Pune. Alongside, he trained in classical Hindustani music under the guidance of a Guru.

His singing debut came unexpectedly during his second year at FTII, with the film “Bobby.” This opportunity was provided by #RajKapoor, and the song “Main Shayar To Nahin” from the film became an instant hit. Singh continued to make waves in the music industry, with hits like “Humne Tumko Dekha” from “Khel Khel Mein” and his collaboration with Asha Bhosle for “Jaane Do Na” in “Saagar,” which was praised for its sensuality.

In addition to his singing, Singh also ventured into acting. He appeared in films such as “Agreement” (with Rekha) and “Do Jasoos.” He also starred in the Bengali film “Ajasra Dhanyabaad,” opposite Aparna Sen.
