Early life

As a child, he never thought he would become a singer. Known for his daring personality from a young age, he once hosted a college event where his professors asked him to sing. Hesitantly, he sang a few lines of "Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein," and this experience motivated him to pursue a career in singing.{{cite web|url=http://www.thefridaytimes.com/tft/bollywood-is-a-lot-of-hard-work/|title=Bollywood is a lot of hard work|date=31 July 2014|publisher=The Friday Times}}
