'Y' started his Playback singing career with the movie 'Parinda' (1989), in which he sang a single line in the song "Kitni Hai Pyari Pyari Dosti Hamari".

















'Y' made his debut as an Actor in the film 'Daman' (2001). So far this is the only film in which he has appeared in a full-fledged role.




















'X' had a great understanding and knowledge of music but could not make it big as a Music Director.  


His son 'Y' is immensely popular and has become a household name in the world of Music.
