Many of Bollywood's much loved playback singers seem to have surprisingly disappeared into the shadows

IT IS difficult to have a conversation about ' 90s Bollywood music without mentioning songs such as Tujhe dekha toh yeh jaana sanam, sung by Kumar Sanu, and Pehla Nasha, sung by Udit Narayan. Sanu and Narayan belonged to a breed of playback singers who made ' 90s music what it was: a bag of melodies that sent their respective film's box office collections soaring.
Which brings us to the question: where have these singers gone now? One reason behind their disappearance is the fact that today's music directors prefer working with a new bunch of singers culled from various talent shows.
Not only do these youngsters charge lower fees but their voices can also be worked upon using a slew of audio softwares.
