Forgotten Bollywood Singers From The 90s Who Need To Make A Comeback

Kumar Sanu, the evergreen singer of the 1990s, made a spectacular comeback with Dard Karara in Dum Laga Ke Haisha. We were all ecstatic since the voice behind hits like Chura Ke Dil Mera, Tu Mile Dil Khile, and Ankh Hai Bhari Bhari had been missing from the music industry for so long that we didn’t even realize we needed him back.

All ’90s kids often find themselves nostalgically recalling the music that defined their upbringing. The majority of these singers have vanished into obscurity. These 90s pop singers gave us Bollywood chartbusters, and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the music industry now is only churning out old songs and giving us remakes and remixes.

We are compelled to think of the era before Arijit Singh and Atif Aslam. Honestly, that was gold. I’m glad that I was born at that time and this music was a part of my life.
