HEART BEAT

WHAT’S A BOLLYWOOD FILM WITHOUT A LOVE SONG? AND WHAT’S A LOVE SONG WITHOUT MOHIT CHAUHAN? MEET THE MAN OF THE MOMENT WHO SINGS STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART

He made his presence heard more than a decade ago with Dooba dooba in the album Boondein. He had his first brush with playback, singing Pehli nazar mein for RGV’s Road in 2002. He hit the high notes with Tum se hi in Jab We Met. He notched up the biggest hit this year singing Masakkali for Delhi-6. He is now the voice of love songs in Hindi films.

Take a bow, Mohit Chauhan.

Be it Yeh dooriyaan in Love Aaj Kal, Tune jo na kaha in New York or Pehli baar mohabbat in Kaminey, the boy from Himachal (now the man in Delhi) is behind every love song releasing in Bollywood. And he sings them all like he means them, straight from the heart.

Hear it from Salim Merchant of the Salim-Sulaiman duo (who had Mohit belting it out for them in Fashion and 8×10 Tasveer): “When I write a love song, it’s very difficult for me to imagine anyone else singing the song other than Mohit. He has this nice dreamy tone and doesn’t overact when singing a sentimental song which many singers tend to do. He sounds relaxed and real and that turns out to be one of his main qualities. The folksy earthy feel in his singing obviously comes from his background in Himachal.”
