ABOUT Udit Narayan

Last Updated : 24 Jan 2025
Udit Narayan: A Legacy in Playback Singing Udit Narayan Jha, born December 1, 1955, is a celebrated Indian playback singer, predominantly known for his work in Hindi cinema. His repertoire extends to various Indian languages, including Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and others. A recipient of four National Film Awards and five Filmfare Awards, his contributions to Indian arts and culture earned him the Padma Shri (2009) and Padma Bhushan (2016). Twenty-one of his tracks are featured in BBC's "Top 40 Bollywood Soundtracks of all time," a testament to his enduring popularity. His career took flight with "Papa Kehte Hain" from the 1988 film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, a performance that garnered him his first Filmfare Award and propelled him to Bollywood stardom. The film's soundtrack, a landmark success for Anand-Milind and T-Series, solidified his position as a favourite among music directors. The 1990s saw him lend his voice to thousands of songs in Hindi and Nepali. His contributions to Nepali cinema earned him the Order of Gorkha Dakshina Bahu in 2001. He holds the unique distinction of winning Filmfare Awards across three decades - the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Recent achievements include continued success in playback singing and ongoing recognition for his vast and impactful body of work. He remains an iconic figure in Indian music, known for his versatility and enduring appeal.
