Rahul Batra, a budding
singer, who started his singing career with the cover of Jagjit Singh’s one of
the most popular song Koi Fariyad, lesser he knew that he will become a singing
sensation overnight.
The singer recently
made his presence at the Indian Fiesta, a multi-talent hunt across 80 cities
across India. The singer rocked the stage with his singing where he sang Saason
Ki Zaroorat Hai, a timeless melody from Aashiqui in presence of the man
himself, Rahul Roy. He also crooned Hoshwalon Ko Khabar Kya originally sung by
Jagjit Singh. He received an overwhelming response from the industry people
present there. Even the audiences were surprised to experience the unbelievable
resemblance of his voice to Jagjit Singh.
Rahul Batra, known for
his soulful voice that has a strong resemblance of legendary singer Jagjit
Singh, when asked how he feels to be compared with him, emotional Rahul Batra
says, “When people compare my voice with legendary Jagjit saab, I feel
honoured, and it makes my heart filled with immense gratitude. I thank god for
giving me this voice but at the same time it gives me a sense of huge
responsibility and also a slight pause of what if it's not up to the mark, as
my natural way and tone of singing is the way it is, effortlessly.”
Rahul’s first association with Zee Music was
his first official song Tujhko Dhoond Raha Hun which was sung and written by
him. On the huge public demand, he is working on making Jagjit singh medley and
also working on a new Punjabi romantic number which is slated to release soon.
Besides this, he has
plans to make his mark in Bollywood playback singing.
