A voice that is undoubtedly the epitome of 90s male playback singing but has been mysteriously away from the limelight in the past decade. The recent rehashed version of Aankh Maarey from Ranveer Singh's Simmba in ‘Kumar Sanu ke awaaz mein' reminded the audience and introduced the present generation to the crowned king of the early 90s Bollywood music, who had made it to the Guinness World Records by recording 28 songs in a day. His back-to-back Filmfare awards from 1991 through 1995 brought home another record of most-consecutive wins, surpassing legendary Kishore Kumar's four (1983 to 1986). It won't be wrong to say that Sanu had seen glory like no other singer of the 90s. His popularity across continents can be gauged from the fact that Mayor of Dayton, Ohio in the USA, declared March 31 as Kumar Sanu day, a first such honour for an Indian singer.
