Veteran singer Udit Narayan on Sunday completed four decades in Bollywood. Marking his 40 years of devotion and dedication to singing and music in the film industry he has launched his own YouTube channel to thank his fans and well wishers for their constant love and support.

Udit Narayan made his debut in the film industry with the song “Mil Gaya, Mil Gaya” from the film “Unees-Bees” in the year 1980. His co-singers were legendary singers Mohammed Rafi Saab and Usha Mangeshkar ji. But he got fame and recognition in the year 1988 with the songs “Ae Mere Humsafar” and “Papa Kehte Hain” from Aamir Khan-Juhi Chawla starrer “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak”. His path to fame was full of hard work, perseverance and travail.
As per sources the 64 -year-old Bollywood playback singer has faced lots of challenges on career front and has struggled very hard to survive in the film and music industry. Udit Narayan comes from an extremely simple family from a village in Nepal. His father was a farmer and wanted him to be a doctor or an engineer. But Udit Narayan always dreamt of becoming a singer. His mother was a folk singer and always encouraged him to follow his dreams.

Reportedly in late 1970s Udit Narayan moved to Mumbai to follow his passion and fulfil his dreams.  During his initial years of struggle he shared one room accommodation with 6-7members. Despite having great talent, each day he would visit various music recording studios and plead music composers to give him work. He begged numerous music directors to give him one chance to prove his talent. And after struggling in Mumbai for number of years he finally got his first break in 1980. He had a career breakthrough with the super hit movie “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak” in the year 1988. Post that the singer never looked back and continued to work incessantly to make his dreams come true. But a new struggle awaited the singer after the release of the blockbuster movie “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” in which he sung hit tracks like “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, “Koi Mil Gaya” and “Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana.”

The ace singer started getting abusive and life-threatening calls. He sought the help of the anti-extortion cell of the Mumbai crime branch. Even the patrolling near his residence was increased several times as a safety measure and police personnel were deployed in the vicinity to keep constant watch on the suspicious people around. Later he even received many alleged extortion threats. He was also asked to stop working in the film industry. Contract killing was also attempted against him several times by those who were insecure of his success. He was asked by police to stay vigilant all the time and two police officials were allotted to him to be by his side always.

He used to receive such threat calls once in every 3-4 months. Imagine how terrible and frightful it is for anyone to live in such circumstances! The talented singer lived the peak years of his career, close to around 22 years, amid the threats, extortion calls and fear of being killed. He often used to get disturbed and passed many sleepless nights. At times he even got depressed to the extent that he drove to the brink of suicide.

Is it that Bollywood is always under the underworld’s scanner?  Or is it groupism, favouritism, nepotism and lobbying in Bollywood industry that try to decide the fate of young, new and self-made artists having no Godfathers in the industry?

However, the seasoned singer has recently shared a video on Instagram thanking the industry and his fans showing his love and gratitude towards them. In the video the singer said, “The industry has been extremely kind to me and has given me more than my expectations. It has given me everything and with people’s blessings and love, today, I am marking successful 40 years in the industry. My only aim was to make a place in Indian film and music industry and moreover to be in people’s heart.” He further said, “I am so grateful to my fans because of these guys today,I have been honoured with Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan, and four National Awards.”

Udit Narayan said that it is because of his son Aditya’s insistence that he decided to launch his own YouTube channel. He said , “Aditya told me I was the most viewed male singing artist on YouTube this year and encouraged me to come and embrace it”.

Udit Narayan believes that the struggle is necessary for any artist before he savours his success. The bitterness of struggle makes the success sweeter.

And when he writes a handwritten message with his passionate comments, it elicits a dizzying mix of appreciation and fulfilment. Thank you very much, Amit Ji! #Runway34.”

The letter was written on a notepad with the names of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, as well as a logo in the shape of a B for Bachchan. It was dated April 29. In the letter, Amitabh wrote, “Hello, Ajay! Ajay! Ajay! It was an unbelievable honour to be a part of ’34’ and to get such a wonderful director’s gift. Your work is excellent. It’s amazing how well you’ve put everything together. They claim it’s your finest, but I’m confident there will be many more. Congratulations.”

Runway 34 is based on a true story from 2015, in which a Doha to Kochi flight narrowly avoided disaster after having trouble landing at the airport owing to poor weather and limited visibility. Captain Vikrant Khanna, played by Ajay Devgn, is a flying prodigy, and Tanya Albuquerque, played by Rakul Preet Singh, is his co-pilot. In the case, Amitabh Bachchan portrays Narayan Vedant, the investigating officer. Ajay has directed and produced the film in addition to acting in it.

According to the film’s review, “Ajay, once again donning the director’s hat, does an outstanding job. I must say, he’s a fantastic storyteller. He creates an immersive experience with Runway 34, rather than just acting.”

Zeenat Hussein, Aamir Khan’s mother, has explained how she reacts to his films that she dislikes. He said this during the premiere of a song from his next film, Laal Singh Chaddha. The actor also revealed how his mother reacted after seeing the Laal Singh Chaddha test screening.

Kahani is the first song from Laal Singh Chaddha that Aamir has released. Mohan Kannan has provided his vocals to the song, which was composed by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

“When Ammi dislikes a film, she will ask, “hatao isko ye kya banaya hai?” ‘Place it away.’ She says it in a sweet tone, “As to a story, Aamir said.

When asked about his mother’s reaction to Laal Singh Chaddha’s test screening, Aamir stated, “First and foremost, I always get my mother’s reaction. Then I wait for my children’s reactions. My mother was a big fan of the movie. ‘Aamir, don’t listen to anyone,’ she said after viewing it. The film is flawless; it should be released as is. ‘Don’t take anything out.’ As a result, I must know how Ammi feels.

Aamir explained why he opted to release the song rather than the video, saying, “The songs in Laal Singh Chaddha are, without a doubt, the heart and soul of the film, and this album has some of my greatest work.

Putting Pritam, Amitabh, the vocalists, and the technicians in the limelight was a deliberate decision because not only do they deserve to be in the spotlight, but the music does as well. I’m excited to see how the public reacts to the music that the crew has put their hearts and souls into.”

Laal Singh Chaddha stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Chaitanya Akkineni and is an adaptation of Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump. On August 11, the film will be released in theatres around the country.
