Mohit Chauhan is certainly an inspiration to every Bollywood fan. The “Nadaan Parindey” singer started off with a small band along with his 2 friends, called “Silk Route”. The band which scored hit numbers like “Dooba Dooba”, decided to call it quits in 2008. It took a while before the singer broke into the Bollywood scene with “Pehli Nazar Mein Dari Thi” from “Road” in 2002. It still took him a while but once he was on the go, Chauhan was unstoppable. From becoming the one voice for Ranbir Kapoor in “Rockstar” to giving hits like “Safar” for Shahrukh Khan, he has done it all. So here is wishing Mohit Chauhan a musical birthday with his choicest of songs :
